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.

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!

Whatever happened to Jeep’s famous CJ or Civilian Jeep series from 1948 until 1986? Well, you see, it became the Wrangler! Yes, that’s why the two have some serious commonalities in terms of not only styling, but sheer off-road ability. The Wrangler nameplate took over in 1986, with some comprehensive re-engineering, but the basic principles have remained true to this day. That’s why today’s 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a formidable off-road buddy to have. It’s got 118,000 miles and hails from Wichita, Kansas. Plus, it’s part of the TJ or second generation, which came for the 1997 model year.
The Wrangler is descended directly from the WWII Willys Jeep. It's no surprise that it shares several features with the original Jeep, such as removable doors. Fans often describe the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ generation as a "sweet spot." This generation offers the renowned look of the original Jeep while blending modern mechanical upgrades and improved comfort. Fans welcomed the TJ's return of the classic round headlights from the previous CJ models. The 2002 Jeep Wrangler came with four main trim levels, namely, SE, X, Sport, and Sahara. What we have here is a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, which is the top-tier trim, adding more premium features and distinct styling. Bearing 114302 miles on its odometer, this Wrangler awaits in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for its new owner.
The off-roading world mourned when Ford announced the discontinuation of their beloved Bronco in 1996. This was after its fifth generation, and no one thought there would be a sixth. However, it was reintroduced in 2020 amidst the ovation of off-roading enthusiasts. Bearing styling and technology of the modern world, the Bronco stays true to its essence, a rugged off-roading machine. This 2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks 4x4 is a great example that comes to you with a few optional packages. Reports reveal that it has under 40,000 miles on its odometer, and it awaits its new buyer in Tecumseh, Michigan.
