If you want a tough, go-anywhere, three-door, short-wheelbase off-roader, a Defender 90 is a great way to go about it. The Land Rover Defender has a heritage that dates back to 1948 and has gained a reputation as one of the best off-roaders in the world. While it was also offered in five-door 110 form and even as a pickup truck, the 90 is the weapon of choice for many. If you’ve been on the hunt for a Defender 90, you’ll know that finding a great one is not easy. So, let us make it a cinch for you by offering this one-owner 1997 Land Rover Defender to you. It’s a special edition called the County with some nice enhancements. Plus, we’ve got all the paperwork and history pertaining to the vehicle for you to inspect.
This dark green 1997 Land Rover Defender comes to you with some useful upgrades on the exterior. For starters, there are LED headlamps, which are a great upgrade over the relatively weak stock units that Defenders came with when they were new. Augmenting these new headlamps is a bar fitted with Maxtel lights. Then, you’ll find an LED light bar as well. Meanwhile, the vehicle comes with black diamond plates all around, plus headlamp and rear window protectors. It rolls on a set of 16-inch steel wheels, wearing 265/70R16 ATR tires. You’ve also got a spare wheel carrier. The reportedly new interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender features leather seats and a Mud Ltd center console. These little comfort upgrades go a long way in making lengthy trips more pleasant. Apart from these, the interior is largely stock Defender, save for an aftermarket head unit from Pure, with a CD player, AUX input, and USB port. You might also notice that the vehicle is right-hand drive, but you’ll quickly get used to it.
This 1997 Land Rover Defender comes with the well-known 300Tdi engine, which is a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder diesel unit. It also includes an EGR system, and a CAT for enhanced efficiency and lower emissions. Power is sent to the wheels via a 5-speed R380 manual gearbox and a two-speed transfer case.

In 1948, Britain’s Rover Company produced its first four-wheel-drive civilian vehicle—the Series I, inspired by the American Willys-Overland Jeep. Built with an aluminum body, a box frame, and serious off-road capability, it laid the foundation for one of the most iconic 4x4 lineups in automotive history. Over the decades, the Series I evolved into the Series II, Series III, and eventually, by the early 1990s, the beloved Defender. Despite hundreds of mechanical and comfort upgrades, the Defender retained its signature utilitarian design and rugged profile. Among the various wheelbase options, the 90 (indicating a shorter wheelbase) was the most agile and off-road-focused, typically built in a two-door configuration. Today, we’re offering a very appealing 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, recently imported to the U.S. in 2024 and currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This example was refurbished under current ownership, with significant updates including a left-hand-drive conversion, a refinish in durable tan bedliner material, and the replacement of the seats, door cards, center console, and headliner. Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case—ideal for tackling harsh terrain. Additional equipment includes black 16″ steel wheels, disc brakes on all four corners, an aftermarket grille, LED auxiliary lights, air conditioning, and a Kenwood CD stereo. This Defender 90 is offered by the selling dealer with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
Travelling at speed is a wonderful thing, seeing the world pass by and you in the lead can be exhilarating, however the art of off-roading is arguably the more memory-filled experience one could hope to achieve when behind the wheel. Present today is one of off roadings finest machines and takes shape with this 1992 Land Rover defender 90. With a reported 179,971 miles on the clock, this short wheelbase British legend brings to you off-roading in style.
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.
The car that would eventually become the Defender was first released in 1983, although the name “Defender” wasn’t used until 1990. Before that, it was simply called the 90 or 110, and they appeared roughly the same until 2016. These rugged vehicles are fun to drive on the road and are amazing off-roaders if you want them to be. This example of the 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 hasn’t seen many miles since its full frame-off restoration that was completed in 2016. Just as the term suggests, everything you can think of about this vehicle is new or rebuilt. This is an excellent way to bring a vehicle to the modern era while maintaining its classic appearance. This Defender is currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is all set to arrive in your driveway.
With an illustrious history dating back to 1948, the Land Rover Defender – the classic one – is an iconic vehicle that is still sought after to this day. Even though there’s a new Defender out there, for those who want good old school off-roading without digital fripperies and myriad electronic systems, a classic Defender or Series is the way to go. Plus, you can really customize a classic Defender in almost any way. Just take this Mesa, Arizona-based 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 as an example. It’s been built to look like the vehicle seen in the James Bond film Spectre, from 2015. If you’re a Bond fan and a Defender fan, this vehicle is a match made in heaven for you.
