If you know the value of the original Land Rover Defender, chances are that you can tell the difference between a true off-roader and a mere dress-up job. Only a handful of serious off-roaders remain in today’s world, and a classic Defender is a great way to avail yourself to such potency and capability. This particular 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 from Staten Island is an amazing custom job, with a brawny LS3 V8 under the hood, four doors, and a tan-colored power convertible top as highlights. It’s thus a great companion for the family that ventures off the beaten track on a regular basis.
Save for its tan convertible top which is power operated, the rest of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110’s body panels wear a coat of gray paint. With its NAS-style rear bumper, PUMA hood and custom LED lighting, this is definitely an off-roader from the outset. Its 2-inch lift, custom-designed safety bar and 18-inch wheels are further symbols of strength. Meanwhile, all five doors enjoy a galvanized frame for better longevity. The custom diamond-stitched leather interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is a truly awesome place to be. It’s got air conditioning, an upgraded heater system, a post-2007 steering column, power windows, LED lighting for all four cup holders, wood trim, and a 11-inch BOSS audio system with USB input. You’ve also got a sports steering wheel, front and rear speakers, and even a push-button selector for the vehicle’s upgraded automatic gearbox. Aftermarket white-faced gauges have been installed too, while the cargo area has been suitably carpeted and awaits your luggage.
This 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 certainly packs heat. Its LS3 V8 displaced 6.2-liters and is kept cool by way of an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. A three muffler exhaust system and stainless steel piping ensures that the V8 sounds wicked! Drive goes to all four wheels through a 6L80 6-speed automatic gearbox by Ashcroft Transmissions. There’s a complete set of steering joints, a steering box, silicone bushings for the suspension system, axles that have been fully rebuilt internally, upgraded wiring and a new fuse box. So, this off-roader is ready to rock and roll!
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.

There are many motor vehicles that have been described as legendary. So many, in fact, that the word has lost much of its meaning.

This amazing 4x4 wagon, the first of its kind, is instantly recognized wherever it appears. In fact, it is the first motor vehicle ever seen by a quarter of the world's population.

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.
