Although an icon worldwide, Land Rover Defenders are hard to come by in the U.S. Bar a limited run of North American-spec cars that were sold new, the classic Defender, with its boxy silhouette and solid drivetrain, wasn’t offered to consumers stateside. Thankfully, though, thanks to many being past the 25-year import threshold, we can now enjoy what the rest of the off-road community has been raving about for so long. On offer today is a 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 in right hand drive, that was imported from the UK in 2023.
There’s no mistaking the Land Rover Defender for anything else. While the modern interpretation offered by JLR tries to capture the magic of the original, the slab-sided origin story with its distinctive safari windows is hard to beat. A direct decedent from the Series Land Rovers of old, the Defender was offered in many body styles. The “110” element of our featured car’s title refers to the longer wheelbase this five-door wagon provides. Finished in Forest Green, the Defender also includes a roof rack for added carrying capabilities, as well as fold-out side steps for ease of ingress. Inside, you’ll notice that this Land Rover Defender is a UK import and right-hand drive. The interior is fairly basic, with only the essential controls on offer, as was the case with the classic Defender. You get hand-crank windows and a two-spoke steering wheel, with gauges for speed, temperature, and fuel level, as well as an analog clock. This car has also been equipped with an aftermarket audio player.
Under the hood of this 1996 Land Rover Defender RHD lies a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine. Known as the 300 Tdi, this inline four-cylinder motor evolved from previous Land Rover engines and was designed to offer smooth and tractable performance ideal for off-roading. The powerplant puts out 111 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, which is channeled to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This Defender also features front disc brakes and front and rear coil spring suspension for added safety and comfort.

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 Land Rover Defender is probably one of a handful of proper four-by-fours. Forget low profile tires, myriad digital screens and electronics that will throw a fit if a little bit of mud gets splashed on them; the Defender can keep moving even if its caked in mud and tossed around in dirt. Building on the fantastic Series 1 of 1948, the Defender name came about in late 1990, and since then, has been revered by those who want no-nonsense off-road abilities. Of course, vehicles like this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 from Waxhaw, North Carolina do have some nice features such as Exmoor high-back diamond-stitched leather seats and an aftermarket V8, but this one also enjoys a 4-inch lift kit and Fox Racing shocks, on top of many other things. If you’d like to make this vehicle yours, talk to us right now.

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.

The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.
