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!
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!

The Land Rover Defender – the classic one, that is, draws upon decades of history and continuous improvement, dating way back to 1948. In fact, the design of the vehicle has largely remained throughout the decades, even when the Defender name came in the Nineties.

Land Rover, makers of the original Series that became the Defender over several decades, is well-known for their broad range of products. They’ve got the Defender, Discovery, and then you enter the Range Rover line-up. Under that, you’ll also find the Velar nameplate. Yes, it’s quite diverse, and you can see how this British luxury SUV maker has decided to capitalize on as many markets as possible. The Velar is aimed at being a sleeker, softer and plusher alternative to the Range Rover. That’s what we have for sale today, a 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar P340 R-Dynamic S from Rancho Murieta, California. This fine family SUV has done under 10,000 miles and includes air suspension for a superb ride. It’s also got the R-Dynamic black exterior styling pack, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, and more.
In 1948, a British off-road legend was born. The Rover Company released their Land Rover Series 1, and it was the world’s first production four-wheel drive car with doors and a hardtop roof. Modeled on the Willys Jeep CJ (which didn’t have doors or a hard roof at the time), the Series I became the Series II, Series III, and finally, the classic Defender that we know and love. Indeed, it’s not hard to see the family resemblance, isn’t it? This particular 1972 Land Rover Series III is a bit special because it’s a firetruck-style conversion by Carmichael and Sons of Worcester, United Kingdom. With its 2.3-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, 4-speed manual gearbox and sub-52,000 mile odometer reading, this machine is currently up for grabs in Wilmington, North Carolina.
This 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab 4WD SLE pairs the desirable LB7 6.6L Duramax turbodiesel V8 with the Allison 5-speed automatic, a combination that helped establish GM’s heavy-duty pickups as serious tow rigs. Rated at around 300 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque in period, the LB7 delivers strong pulling power and good drivability, especially when matched to the Allison 1000 transmission. With a crew cab, four-wheel drive and HD trailering plus camper provisions, this truck is set up to tow, haul and handle work or recreation duties with ease.
This 2022 RAM 1500 TRX Ignition Edition sits in a sweet spot where rarity, mileage and modifications all work in its favor, which is not always the case with heavily built trucks. As one of 875 examples with under 25,000 miles, it retains strong collector appeal while the E85‑focused SRT Autoworks package—pulley combo, ID1300X injectors, cam, headers, exhaust and a supercharger—was clearly designed for serious street and roll‑race performance rather than just show. The Ignition Edition’s factory content such as its unique orange and black interior, special graphics and full TRX off‑road hardware means that even if a future owner chose to soften the build, they would still have a limited‑run halo TRX that stands apart from a typical modified 1500.
