The Land Rover Defender is sought after worldwide, but in the States, it’s somewhat of a rarity thanks to import restrictions. However, some did indeed make it across the pond, in both 110 (long wheelbase) and 90 (short wheelbase) forms. The Land Rover Defender is a direct descendant of the original Series Land Rovers, which were made popular worldwide thanks to their off-road abilities and the proliferation of the model by the British forces. Our featured car is a 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 series, with a reported 107,000 miles on the clock and several aftermarket additions. Some of the modifications made channel its safari-bound ancestors, with a soft top, external roll cage, and safari seating.
Exterior and Interior
Finished in black, this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 sits on aftermarket 18-inch wheels wrapped in new tires that are reported to have been installed 1,200 miles ago, with plenty of life remaining. The exterior features a black brush guard and matching external roll cage. You’ll also find side steps, which will likely double as rock sliders and checkered metal plating is attached to the lower portion of the vehicle. Up front, there’s checkered metal plating on the bonnet and tops of the fenders, while you’ll also find additional Land Rover-branded auxiliary lights. Inside this 1995 Land Rover Defender is a custom interior featuring safari seating and diamond-stitched upholstery. The owner reports that the original dashboard is retained, and an Exmoore cubby box is installed, too. A replacement ignition switch is reported as new, and the car is supplied with two keys. Special attention has been paid to the audio system, with this Defender featuring an aftermarket stereo with headless Bluetooth. Speakers consist of two JL Audio speakers in the doors, and two more in the rear. Two custom JL Audio subwoofers are mounted under the seating to take care of the bass. Meanwhile, the audio is driven courtesy of a JL Audio amplifier that has been installed out of sight in the glovebox.
Engine
Under the hood of the 1995 Land Rover Defender lies a 3.9-liter V8 engine. Specific to North American Land Rover Defenders, this Rover-sourced V8 engine design originally started life as that of a Buick. The owner reports that the Defender retains its original manual transmission.
The 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 remains one of the most recognizable compact 4x4s ever built, and this example blends the model’s traditional utility with a selection of functional upgrades. Showing approximately 81,458 miles, it is finished in Black over a Black interior and retains the classic right-hand-drive configuration. Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while an LT230 dual-range transfer case and locking center differential provide the mechanical foundation expected from a Defender. Exterior additions such as a Rhino-Rack roof rack, rear access ladder, brush guard, Sawtooth-style wheels, side steps, and checker-plate protection reinforce its expedition-ready character, while the cabin has been updated with aftermarket front bucket seats and a touchscreen audio system.
