Land Rover’s Defender can trace its roots way back to 1948, as the Series Land Rovers. The official Defender nameplate entered the scene in 1983, where it would stay until 2016, much to the chagrin of its global fan base. The New Defender debuted in 2020, however many still lust after a classic Defender or Series Land Rover, as they have a formidable reputation for competent off-road performance. Available in many forms, and customized in countless ways, this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 RHD Convertible is one such example. A right-hand-drive car, it’s done a healthy 161,000 kilometers and comes with quite a few customizations done to it, inside and out.
The design of a Defender (and the Series that preceded it) is an icon that is instantly recognizable by silhouette pretty much anywhere in the world, but this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 RHD Convertible further accentuates that with an eye-catching orange paint job, contrasting black roll-up convertible top and sides, and reportedly brand new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires with less than 500 miles on them, wrapped around silver and black alloys. A bull bar with winch, gloss black front grille, aftermarket headlamps and safari snorkel add to the distinctive appearance. A hitch is present beneath the front plate as well. The black interior has received even more customization. Climb aboard this Defender that’s received a suspension lift by its previous owner, and the first thing to strike you will be the relatively modern BMW M-style steering wheel that’s been installed, complete with Land Rover steering wheel center cap. The aftermarket front bucket seats will be the next thing. There’s an aftermarket Bluetooth-compatible radio, replaced front speakers and subwoofer as well. The front seats have seatbelts installed, and the rear folding jump seat benches have two installed per bench as well. There’s also a storage console with drinks holder between the front seats.
This 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 RHD Convertible packs a 2.5L TDI turbo diesel engine known as the 300TDI, which put out 111hp and 195lb-ft to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and transfer case with high and low range. The seller reports that the engine and transmission are original, and that a new battery was installed in 2021. Front brake pads and rotors, rear ball joints and wiper motor have reportedly been replaced as well.

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.
Debuting in 1969, the Range Rover was made by Land Rover as a vehicle that would slot in above their Land Rover Series model, in terms of size, as well as luxury. It proved to be a strong seller, and continues to this day, having spawned some sub-derivatives like the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar too. Hence, for those seeking an iconic British luxury four-by-four, a regular Range Rover is a great choice. Today’s 2017 Range Rover SV Autobiography LWB is a Cornelius-based fourth generation variant with only under 37,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a powerful supercharged V8 under the hood, a panoramic sliding glass roof, and comes in long wheelbase variant for extra interior space. Hence, it’s a superbly spacious luxury SUV for a family that only needs four seats.
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!
