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 is one of the strangest cars in the automotive world, at least the older models are. They aren’t the most enjoyable to drive or the most comfortable carrier for passengers. Yet they are absolutely adored all around the world for their undeniable British character. The Defender is as British as warm beer, good tea, and bad teeth. Not to mention, they are mighty good off-roaders as well. What you’ll often find in the market or on roads is the Defender 110, rendering the short-wheelbase Defender 90 quite rare to come by. This 2000 Land Rover Defender 90 found its way to our inventory from St. Cloud, Florida. Having driven over 119000, this example remains well-maintained and boasts a re-upholstered interior.
Land Rover’s Defender is one of those all-time greats in off-roading nameplates. Derived from 1948’s Land Rover Series I, the Defender name came around 1990, and by then, it had evolved massively from the Series, despite a very similar exterior outlook. Furthermore, while the 110 is the most common type to find these days, there’s a certain sort of charm about the short wheelbase, two-door 90. This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 definitely portrays that charm, with its extensive do-over that includes a repaint to factory spec and an aftermarket exhaust. The vehicle is currently up for sale in Florida having driven over 152,000 miles, but that’s nothing for a well-maintained Defender like this one. We’re told that the vehicle packs a replaced engine with just 3,500 miles on it, and that engine was refreshed before being swapped in. A recent alignment and tire balancing has also reportedly been carried out on this relatively modern classic four-by-four.
If you’re looking for a short wheelbase off-roader that’s relatively new, but not too techie at the same time, we have the perfect candidate for you right here, straight from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Check out this sub 30,000-mile 2010 Land Rover Defender 90! Coming from the original Defender series that was made until 2016, this machine has heritage that dates back to Land Rover’s Series I of 1948. Yet, it’s also got a newer powertrain and enjoys some further aftermarket upgrades too. This 2010 Land Rover Defender 90 combines legendary off-road capability with custom rugged aesthetics. Built in Solihull, UK, it features the reliable 2.4L turbocharged diesel inline-four from the Puma TDCi era, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and a full-time 4WD system. Outfitted for adventure, this short-wheelbase Defender is a proper overland rig with purposeful mods, yet retains the iconic boxy profile that has defined the Defender legacy.
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!

There are many motor vehicles that have been described as legendary. So many, in fact, that the word has lost much of its meaning. While there have been many interesting machines introduced in the last 100 years, only a relative handful truly deserve this accolade. One of the few that does is the English Land Rover. This amazing 4x4 wagon, the first of its kind, is instantly recognized wherever it appears. In fact, it is the first motor vehicle ever seen by a quarter of the world's population. While its look has hardly changed since 1948, the vehicle that the world knows as a Land Rover has come a long way. The Land Rover Defender has a production window of over 60 years, starting with the original series 1. This example of the 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 has covered 14,707 miles and is currently located in Westport, Connecticut.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
