Born from the rugged Land Rover Series I of 1948, what became the Defender – the classic Defender, that is, was forged over fifty years of innovation. While the exterior outlook remains distinctively Series, the Defender has grown in many ways. Don’t believe us? Check out this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s for sale right now. If you’re looking for the ultimate overlanding vehicle that can take you nearly anywhere on earth, and bring you back to your doorstep to tell amazing stories of your adventures, this is the machine to buy.
Wearing a suitably menacing black paint job that’s a recent repaint, this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 represents sheer off-road capability in one package. We’re told that the vehicle has received 5 new tires and wheels, plus 5 new doors, since it’s a 110 variant. The front and rear lights have also been replaced, and there’s a new grill, plus a roof rack for extra cargo space, should the cavernous interior be insufficient. Finally, the windows are tinted for extra privacy as well as keeping the sun’s harsh rays at bay. The interior of this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 isn’t exactly Mercedes-Benz S-Class levels of luxury, but you don’t want that in an off-roader. Instead, what you want are easy-to-clean surfaces, physical buttons and switches, and as few electronics as possible. That’s what you’ll find here. The only touch of modernity is an upgraded radio head unit, so you can broaden your musical repertoire to better suit your mood. Everything else remains simplistic, including the wind-up windows and cloth seats.
Packing a powerful 300Tdi engine, this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 isn’t exactly lacking in off-road performance. The 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel unit can deliver 111hp and 195lb-ft to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. The current owner tells us that the engine and transmission have been recently serviced, but there’s no documentation for this. Also, we’re informed that the vehicle has had air suspension installed by the previous owner, albeit no documentation is available. Regardless, you’ll be able to enjoy a new lifestyle of exploration and discovery, with this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 as your faithful partner.

The car that would eventually become the Defender was first released in 1983, although the name “Defender” wasn’t used until 1990. Before that, it was simply called the 90 or 110, and they appeared roughly the same until 2016. These rugged vehicles are fun to drive on the road and are amazing off-roaders if you want them to be. This example of the 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 hasn’t seen many miles since its full frame-off restoration that was completed in 2016. Just as the term suggests, everything you can think of about this vehicle is new or rebuilt. This is an excellent way to bring a vehicle to the modern era while maintaining its classic appearance. This Defender is currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is all set to arrive in your driveway.
When the Land Rover was first introduced in the ‘80s, it was also dubbed the Land Rover 110. However, in 1990, Land Rover separated their models into Defender 90 and Defender 110, and Defender 130, respectively. Soon after, the Defender 110 double cab was introduced. It had an open pick-up back and a 4x4-style seating area. What you see here is an example of the 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Pickup with a host of new upgrades onboard. It is extremely practical if you want a workhorse or an off-roading machine. To boot, the current owner reports full restoration completed in 2025. This example has very few miles on it and is available for sale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
With an illustrious history dating back to 1948, the Land Rover Defender – the classic one – is an iconic vehicle that is still sought after to this day. Even though there’s a new Defender out there, for those who want good old school off-roading without digital fripperies and myriad electronic systems, a classic Defender or Series is the way to go. Plus, you can really customize a classic Defender in almost any way. Just take this Mesa, Arizona-based 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 as an example. It’s been built to look like the vehicle seen in the James Bond film Spectre, from 2015. If you’re a Bond fan and a Defender fan, this vehicle is a match made in heaven for you.

In 1948, Britain’s Rover Company produced its first four-wheel-drive civilian vehicle—the Series I, inspired by the American Willys-Overland Jeep. Built with an aluminum body, a box frame, and serious off-road capability, it laid the foundation for one of the most iconic 4x4 lineups in automotive history. Over the decades, the Series I evolved into the Series II, Series III, and eventually, by the early 1990s, the beloved Defender. Despite hundreds of mechanical and comfort upgrades, the Defender retained its signature utilitarian design and rugged profile. Among the various wheelbase options, the 90 (indicating a shorter wheelbase) was the most agile and off-road-focused, typically built in a two-door configuration. Today, we’re offering a very appealing 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, recently imported to the U.S. in 2024 and currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This example was refurbished under current ownership, with significant updates including a left-hand-drive conversion, a refinish in durable tan bedliner material, and the replacement of the seats, door cards, center console, and headliner. Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case—ideal for tackling harsh terrain. Additional equipment includes black 16″ steel wheels, disc brakes on all four corners, an aftermarket grille, LED auxiliary lights, air conditioning, and a Kenwood CD stereo. This Defender 90 is offered by the selling dealer with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
Known as the 'go everywhere vehicle,' the Land Rover Defender is one of the most utilitarian and iconic vehicles in the world's automotive history and remains a relevant name today. However, much has changed since the Series 1 left the factories in the Fifties.

But for those who want a more 'raw experience' to truly connect with the vehicle and conquer the elements without compromising on more modern luxuries, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 is the ideal choice. Reportedly sporting several amenities for the driver, this Land Rover gives both the tactile experience of a classic Land Rover and a range of modern conveniences and luxuries.
