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.

Checking the spec sheet, we also discover a new Defender roof rack with lights, new fog lamps, a front bumper grille guard, and an aftermarket hood vent. Furthermore, since this Defender is a 110 variant, it’s great for family use thanks to its four-door body style and capacious cargo space. Now, let’s venture aboard. The interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 features black leather seating. There are two rows in the main cabin for up to five adults, plus a set of facing benches in the cargo area.

You’ll also see a wood-grain steering wheel and a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth capabilities.
