The Defender nameplate made its appearance in 1983, but the vehicle itself can actually be directly traced all the way to the original Series 1 of 1948. Few vehicles in the world can lay claim to such fame, and the Defender (together with the Series) remain legendary examples of what Land Rover used to stand for – tough, utilitarian, no-nonsense transportation over almost any terrain. If you’ve been a fan of these vehicles, here’s a hurrah for you in the form of a 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Restomod that’s fresh from a 2021 restoration by Transatlantic Trading Company in England. Using a chassis from a French vehicle, it’s a leftie, so don’t worry about sitting on the wrong side of the road in North America. It’s also got a tasty surprise under the hood, but to find out what, you will need to read on.
The iconic lines of the Defender changed very little from the Series, and continued all the way until the model was retired in 2016. This 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Restomod wears a new paint job of what appears to be a metallic gray in some light, shifting towards a green hue from certain angles as we can see in the photos. The seller reports new doors, new lights, and it rolls on a set of stylish five-spoke Land Rover alloys, wrapped in the requisite all terrain tires. Climb aboard the interior using the side steps for assistance, and you’re greeted by a black theme with seating for up to eight passengers in addition to the driver. This is made possible, as in addition to the two front seats and three rear seats, there are two facing benches behind, with two seat belts each. An aftermarket steering wheel adorns the helm, and you gaze at a mostly stock instrument cluster, with the addition of a tachometer neatly sitting in your field of view. There’s also a lockable cubby for your valuables, the seller reports that the air conditioning unit is new, and an Alpine stereo system brings Bluetooth capabilities to the table. Glance upwards and you’re greeted by new alcantara headliner.
A Defender would typically pack a stout turbodiesel engine, or unstressed petrol mill beneath its hood, but not this 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Restomod. Instead, you’ll find a 3.2L BMW S52 straight six neatly nestling within. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the S52 powered the North American post-facelift E36 M3, and delivered 240hp and 236lb-ft. It’s also happy to spin up to 7,000rpm. Sending the power to the wheels is a six speed manual gearbox. The seller reports a laundry list of mods and refreshments across the vehicle, including new air intake, new air filter, air mass meter, new fuel system, fuel pressure regulator, new fuel system, a custom fabricated fan shroud, new suspension, new struts, and new exhaust. Finally, there’s reportedly been a recent alignment and oil change, making this Landie ready to hit the streets and trails.
Now here’s a machine for you if none of today’s software-driven, sanitized SUVs appeals. This old-school 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 Monarch Nessie is up for grabs in Midland, Michigan. It’s an extensive build that’s done just 2,205 miles so far, and packs some tasty goodies such as a 6.2-liter LT1, a 6-speed autobox, Italian Nappa leather interior, all-weather black mats and more. All that and more could be yours if you wish, and let us tell you, with the amount of creature comforts and upgrades this machine packs, it can easily serve your daily driving requirements too.
Land Rover introduced the Series I off-roader was introduced in 1948, as Rover knew that, like Jeep over in the USA, with World War II finished, they needed to switch priorities and serve the civilian market. The Land Rover Series I holds the designation of being the world’s first mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle with doors and solid roof. Over time, the Series I became the Series II then Series III, before gaining the Defender name in late 1990, in keeping with Land Rover’s new naming convention. The Defender came in 90,110 and 130 forms, which roughly referred to its wheelbase. Here, we have a 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 County Edition which is a five-door station wagon variant. You can see by its right-hand drive layout that it’s likely a UK import. With only over 16,000 miles to its name, the vehicle currently resides in Houston, Texas, but is basically at home anywhere in the country – especially where there are no tarmac roads. After all, it’s meant to go off-roading and overlanding!
The definitive old-school off-roader for many folks, Land Rover’s Defender (the OG one, not the New Defender of 2019) remains the default choice. With a rich history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the Defender name came about in late 1990, after decades of incremental improvement and countless updates. That’s why we’re sure this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 won’t have any trouble finding a new home. Currently stabled in Roswell, Georgia, it’s got 96,000 miles on the clock, is a Heritage Trust Certified example that’s been fully restored, and even comes in numbers-matching status! Plus it’s got some modern upgrades here and there, we’re told. You’ll also be very glad to see that it’s left-hand drive, making it easier to handle on our roads than some of the direct British imports that come with the steering wheel on the right-hand side!
Land Rover, that iconic British automaker who gave us the OG Defender way back in 1948, has only risen from strength to strength. Curiously, they are one of a handful of automakers who’ve only offered SUVs in their portfolio. You won’t find a sports car, grand tourer, sedan, station wagon or pickup truck (unless you count the original Defender which was offered in open-bed form). Their Range Rover sub-brand is well-regarded for being a cut above its parent, in terms of luxury as well as sportiness. That’s where this 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE hails from. With under 63,000 miles on the odometer, this two-row midsize luxury SUV is perfect for a family that needs space, luxury, off-road ability and cargo capacity. It’s up for grabs in Largo with two keys included in the sale.
Are you searching for a luxury off-roader with British style and luxury, solid engineering and a pretty decent off-road ability thrown in for good measure?

What’s not to like about this five-seat family hauler, then?
