Land Rover’s Defender is arguably the most iconic British off-roader. Initially known as the Land Rover Series, the Defender nameplate entered the scene in in 1990, although it’s not uncommon to find earlier examples badged as such. There have been many special editions of this vehicle, and this 1996 Land Rover Defender Bel-Air is one of those. Hailing from Belgium with 82,000 miles on the clock, it’s a Defender 90 with a new Bel-Air convertible top, that’s undergone a two-year nut-and-bolt restoration. There are key doubles for all locks and the ignition provided, and you even get a full restoration picture album – now isn’t that a conversation starter!
The Defender, and the Series before it changed little in terms of design over its total production run that extended to nearly seven decades. This 1996 Land Rover Defender Bel-Air is the short wheelbase ‘90’ version that’s actually got a 93-inch wheelbase. The G4 Orange paintwork is superbly eye-catching, and there’s a clear coat applied for sun protection. Gloss black wheel arches contrast perfectly with the bright paintjob, and complement the aforementioned new Bel-Air convertible top with leather cover. You also get a Defender Xtreme NAS rear bumper and roll bar which is reportedly very rare, as well as rear wheel mount from the same company. The Bearmach black gloss 16-inch Sawtooth rims wear 265/75R16 K02 BFGoodrich tires. Up front, there’s Bearmach Trucklite LED headlamps and satin black and mesh front grille with wingtop vents. In fact, lighting is LED all-round. It’s also got custom rocksliders, Front Runner sump guard and a custom wooden bed liner. The interior features an updated Td5 dashboard, heated leather seats from a Land Rover Discovery, NAS steering wheel, air conditioning and heater, Pioneer head unit with USB connectivity, extra antenna for CB radio and there’s also a fusebox and light switches for extra lights to be installed.

One of the all-time greats in off-roaders, the classic Land Rover Defender can directly trace its lineage to the Series I of 1948. You see, after World War II ended, Land Rover wanted to make a tough, capable off-roader. The Series I was the result, and it soon became a sensation in multiple countries. Known for its rugged, no-nonsense value proposition, it was a vehicle that got the job done no matter what lay in its way. As time passed by, Land Rover kept upgrading and improving it. By 1990, the Defender name came, born out of necessity by Land Rover to give its icon a name. Produced in 90 and 110 variants, this 1994 Land Rover Defender is of the 90, or short wheelbase type. It has been given a complete makeover by Helderberg and is called a Milo build. Furthermore, it’s got just over 3,200 miles on the clock since its build.
The Land Rover Defender has gained a name for itself all over the world as a supremely capable off-roader. With a glorious history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the classic Defender maintains much of its ancestor’s styling cues. However, it’s vastly different under the skin. The Defender name came about in 1991 with two variants. The 90 variant was a short wheelbase two-door affair, while the 110 sported four doors and a longer wheelbase. The numbers do refer to the wheelbase size in inches. So, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has a 90-inch (approximate) wheelbase and is a two-door machine. The current owner tells us it’s received regular servicing and maintenance and a more powerful engine.
A true hero of British off-roading, the classic Land Rover Defender can directly trace its lineage all the way back to the Series I of 1948. In fact, you can trace that lineage for yourself by Googling up images of both and placing them side-by-side. Then, you’ll see that the appearance is nearly identical. However, the two aren’t that similar under the skin. Land Rover made hundreds of improvements over the years. That’s why many people who want a classic Land Rover but still prefer some modern features in a sturdy, off-road-friendly package pick a Defender. So, why not choose this plucky short-wheelbase 1987 Land Rover Defender as your off-road companion? The vehicle has traveled a healthy 167,000 miles but has also received plenty of TLC, ensuring that it stays fresh.
Land Rover’s classic Defender is one of the most well-known off-roaders on the planet. Dating back to the Land Rover Series 1 of 1948, the Defender has decades of experience and improvement behind it. Strictly speaking, this particular 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration can’t be called a Defender because the Defender name officially came in 1990. But it’s got so many new parts and enhancements, not to mention its pedigree, that it deserves the tag. The vehicle was imported from Great Britain and has undergone a full restoration by Defender Motorsport. So, if you’re looking for a Defender with several twists, this is the one for you.
The majority of Range Rover owners purchase them not just for their robust off-road capabilities and cutting-edge technology but also for the value that the brand name brings to the table. It has always been one of the names we think of when we talk of ultra-luxury SUVs. Land Rover launched three special editions of the Range Rover for the 2021 model year. Namely, the Fifty Edition (which celebrates the 50th birthday of their flagship SUV), the Westminster Edition, and the Dynamic Black Edition. With this listing, we are talking about the well-equipped midrange model, the 2021 Range Rover HSE Westminster Edition. This sophisticated example is said only to have 31,200 miles on its odometer. Keep reading to find out about the luxuries this grand ride has to offer.
Luxury, off-road capability, on-road performance. No other vehicle really provides this combination like a Range Rover. The Range Rover has become the standard that all other luxury off-roaders are measured by, but creature comforts weren’t always a part of its DNA. The first-generation Range Rover was a basic, rugged off-roader, and the early models didn’t even have power steering. The seats were vinyl, and the dashboard was made of plastic to make it easier to clean, a world away from the modern interiors that come with leather, wood trim and electronics. Speed wasn’t a prime concern for the design team either, with the initial engine option being a Rover V8 (adapted from Buick), rated for 127hp in its most primitive form. But now, more than 4 decades later, the Range Rover is a very different animal.
