World War II had ended, and British automaker Rover was gearing up to supply an eager public with a myriad of automobiles. Gathering experience from the learnings of making wartime off-roaders, they released the Land Rover Series I in 1948. This sturdy off-roader had features such as a box frame construction, aluminum body panels, and proper four-wheel drive with low range. The Series I would become the Series I, Series III, and finally become the Defender in 1983. While hundreds of improvements were made over the years, the basic shape, purpose, and capabilities remained the same. That's why if you love venturing into the wilderness, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is a faithful companion who you can trust. Fresh off an engine rebuild just 4,000 miles ago, it's also got a transmission rebuild and is ready for action.
Defenders look purposeful, but when you take a specimen like this matte gray 1997 Land Rover Defender 110, the term takes on a whole new meaning. Rolling on black wheels with chunky Cooper Discoverer S/T tires, this Defender is ready to tackle any trail, rocky pass, sand dune, or even a river. Hence, it even has a snorkel air intake for the engine. You'll also note upgraded crystal headlamps, new LED turn signals, park lamps, and auxiliary front lighting for enhanced visibility when it's dark outside. There's even a Plasma 4x4 winch waiting to rescue you or anyone else who gets stuck because, let's face it, in such an off-roader, the weakest link is typically the driver. Inside this left-hand drive 1997 Land Rover Defender 110, you'll find metal plate flooring and leather seating for all occupants. In fact, up to nine people can travel in this 110-inch wheelbase variant. Creature comforts are sparse, as you'd expect in a tough off-roader, but there's a front console with cup holders, a cigarette lighter, and a Sony Xplod head unit with CD playback capabilities.
The powerplant motivating this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is the tough-as-nails 300Tdi. This comprises a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine. The engine is factory-rated for 111hp and 195lb-ft, but aftermarket tuning can yield notable gains in power and torque. The drive is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission that's received new union bearings and gears in the transmission.
Land Rover’s iconic Defender was discontinued in 2016, but before the public could get disgruntled and start throwing things, Land Rover quickly announced that a new Defender was in the works. Just three years later, the new Defender, or L663 series was introduced, in 90 and 110 forms, plus an elongated 130 variant. Land Rover took the opportunity to modernize the Defender in every way possible, while retaining much of its legendary off-road ability. They also introduced a supremely powerful variant with over 600 horsepower, called the OCTA. Today, we’ve got a box-fresh OCTA with just 385 miles, hailing from Naples, Florida. So, if you want the ultimate family off-roader that can scare many performance cars as well, check out this 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 OCTA Edition One. The vehicle comes with the Interior Protection Pack, Tow Hitch Receiver Pack, Exterior Protection Pack and Emergency Pack too.
Every country has its own off-road icon. Japan has the Land Cruiser, America has the Jeep Wrangler, and Germany has the Mercedes G-Class. But none of these quite compare to the Land Rover Defender. Its origins can be traced back to 1948 when the first Land Rover was launched. Over the next few decades, it evolved into the Series II and the Series III (including a few sub-series), and in 1983, an improved, more modern Land Rover 110 was launched. This would bear the distinct appearance that we now call the Defender (a nameplate that was finally attached to it in 1990). Production finally ended in 2016 after 67 years and over 2 million units. But the story doesn’t end there, for in 2020, Land Rover launched the all-new L663 Defender. “Same, but different” is the simplest way to describe this new car, as it clearly carries many design elements from its heritage and brings the great off-road capabilities of its forefathers, but with modern technology and comfort integrated into it. This 2023 Defender 100 S Trek Edition is quite special, as the owner tells us that it's number 80 out of only 100 units built that exist in North America.
The classic Land Rover Defender is directly descended from 1948’s Land Rover Series I. After World War II, the Rover Company of Britain wanted to create a tough off-road vehicle for agricultural use. Things started as the Series I, then Series II, Series III, and finally the Defender by the early 1990s. Across the world, Defenders are renowned for their tough persona and go-anywhere capabilities. This 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is no different. What’s more, the vehicle is fresh from a restoration that was completed in February 2025. It also has a new engine that is less than 1,000 miles on it. Basically, this is a born-again vehicle that’s better than when it left the factory in 1997 and is up for grabs with us. If you wish to own it, give us a call or shoot us a DM pronto.

The Rover company of Britain had to shift their priorities to adjust to the post-war consumer environment. Prior to the War, Rover made luxury cars but in a new era of promised prosperity among austerity, the automaker turned their attention towards bolstering Britain’s burgeoning agricultural industry. The Willys Jeep of USA was the inspiration, and what emerged was the Land Rover Series in 1948. The Series became the Series II, Series III, and Defender over many decades of solid service, not only in Britain, but across the world. Meanwhile, a Spanish automaking outfit called Santana started working closely with Land Rover to build their own versions in Spain. Today, we’ve got one of their creations, a 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana that was reportedly given a full frame-off restoration in 2023. The vehicle’s rebuilt engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it, as has its rebuilt gearbox. Furthermore, this vehicle was imported from Colombia, highlighting the journey that it’s taken halfway across the world to get to Florida where it currently awaits a new owner – which could be you!
