This off-road-ready machine sits on a set of black off-road wheels, which are wrapped with thick off-road tires for better traction off the beaten path. The black interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 3-Door Overlander Edition is a mix of comfort and practicality. At the front, you're treated to 2 diamond-stitched leather seats that provide a great view of the road ahead, and at the rear bench seats that seat eight and serve as more space to haul off-road gear. The current owner reports soundproofing and heatproofing under the front seats for added comfort.

Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission that also sees new transmission oil.
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!

Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
