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.
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.
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 Land Rover Defender comes from a lineage of over 50 years of off-road excellence. The first Land Rover Series examples hit British roads in 1948, and soon made their way to nearly all countries across the globe. Throughout the years, Land Rover made hundreds of enhancements to the Series, including naming it the Defender in late 1990. Produced in several wheelbases, the 90 was the shortest variant available. While most Defender 90s are typically three-door SUVs, this particular 1993 Land Rover Defender 90 is an interesting, two-door single cab pickup truck variant. Bearing 80,000 miles to its name, this vehicle is now up for sale, and makes an excellent off-road runabout.
If there was one machine that immediately represents the art and joy of off-roading you can rest assured that a Land Rover Defender would be a top contender. For over 50 years this British icon has helped push the envelope in terms of exploring the great unknown. Representing the off-road icon today is none other than this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90. With a reported 72,000 miles on the clock, this low mileage example can be yours to experience an authentic Defender experience in all its glory.
There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
The Rover company of Britain had to shift their priorities to adjust to the post-war consumer environment. Prior to the War, Rover made luxury cars but in a new era of promised prosperity among austerity, the automaker turned their attention towards bolstering Britain’s burgeoning agricultural industry. The Willys Jeep of USA was the inspiration, and what emerged was the Land Rover Series in 1948. The Series became the Series II, Series III, and Defender over many decades of solid service, not only in Britain, but across the world. Meanwhile, a Spanish automaking outfit called Santana started working closely with Land Rover to build their own versions in Spain. Today, we’ve got one of their creations, a 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana that was reportedly given a full frame-off restoration in 2023. The vehicle’s rebuilt engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it, as has its rebuilt gearbox. Furthermore, this vehicle was imported from Colombia, highlighting the journey that it’s taken halfway across the world to get to Florida where it currently awaits a new owner – which could be you!
Every country has its own off-road icon. Japan has the Land Cruiser, America has the Jeep Wrangler, and Germany has the Mercedes G-Class. But none of these quite compare to the Land Rover Defender. Its origins can be traced back to 1948 when the first Land Rover was launched. Over the next few decades, it evolved into the Series II and the Series III (including a few sub-series), and in 1983, an improved, more modern Land Rover 110 was launched. This would bear the distinct appearance that we now call the Defender (a nameplate that was finally attached to it in 1990). Production finally ended in 2016 after 67 years and over 2 million units. But the story doesn’t end there, for in 2020, Land Rover launched the all-new L663 Defender. “Same, but different” is the simplest way to describe this new car, as it clearly carries many design elements from its heritage and brings the great off-road capabilities of its forefathers, but with modern technology and comfort integrated into it. This 2023 Defender 100 S Trek Edition is quite special, as the owner tells us that it's number 80 out of only 100 units built that exist in North America.
The classic Land Rover Defender is directly descended from 1948’s Land Rover Series I. After World War II, the Rover Company of Britain wanted to create a tough off-road vehicle for agricultural use. Things started as the Series I, then Series II, Series III, and finally the Defender by the early 1990s. Across the world, Defenders are renowned for their tough persona and go-anywhere capabilities. This 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is no different. What’s more, the vehicle is fresh from a restoration that was completed in February 2025. It also has a new engine that is less than 1,000 miles on it. Basically, this is a born-again vehicle that’s better than when it left the factory in 1997 and is up for grabs with us. If you wish to own it, give us a call or shoot us a DM pronto.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyota’s longest-produced and arguably most popular model. This iconic 4x4 has reached nearly every spot on the globe, and is widely renowned for its toughness, capability and reliability. It’s no surprise that Land Cruisers can be seen in a variety of wilderness settings, on scientific expeditions, and even in the capable hands of adventurers. One of the series’ most cherished examples is the J40. Made between 1960 and 1984, there were J40s being built in Brazil as recently as 2001! The J40’s iconic design and spartan but capable mechanicals make it a cult favorite. So here’s a 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 for sale, with a mere 64,639 miles traveled. It’s a great addition to your garage for those trips into the great outdoors, as well as a classic that will only appreciate in value as time goes by. Heck, when today’s newfangled EVs conk out in a decade or two, this FJ40 will still chug on as long as there’s dino juice to feed it.
Jeep rose to become America’s most popular maker of off-roaders through a rich history that started way back in 1948. Along the way, they also introduced some luxury-oriented models, such as the Grand Wagoneer. Debuting in 1984 as a more plush and well-equipped variant of Jeep’s Wagoneer, the Grand Wagoneer that we have today is a fine example from 1991. Moreover, this 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer comes with just 74,410 miles on the clock. So grab yourself a slice of Jeep history while you can; it’s a vehicle that can even act as your daily driver if desired.
