The original Land Rover Defender may have sold well in the US, but — bar a very limited number — it was not officially offered to stateside consumers. But now that we’re seeing specialists and fans import some of these iconic off-roaders to our shore, it may just be the best time to find out what makes the Defender so unique. Our featured 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 has undergone a full restoration. The owner reports that the frame has been sandblasted, repainted, and sealed, with the full frame-off restoration having been completed in 2016. The engine has been rebuilt, too, and a whole host of other parts have been replaced to ensure the reliable running of this 4x4 for many years to come.
The first thing you’ll notice about this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 restoration is its unique color combination. It features a two-tone black and orange paint job that’s sure to attract attention. Look closely, and you’ll see a few other changes, too. There’s a new Britpart hood with an intake air grille, as well as a new front grille and grille swings. A Mantec snorkel provides added wading ability, and there’s an aftermarket aluminum roof rack for extra carrying capability. You’ll also notice stainless steel sides, as well as rear mudflaps, and a tow hitch and wheel carrier. This Defender 110 sits on new 20-inch alloy wheels, which are wrapped in fresh rubber. Move inside, and you’ll find a custom center console. The dashboard features a rare tachometer, and the new interior includes new carpets, new mats, a new headliner, and new front and rear seats. Information is taken care of thanks to a new 7-inch stereo system, while the owner also reports that a new A/C system has been installed.
Under the hood is one of Land Rover’s most popular engines: the TD5. This turbo-diesel five-cylinder motor was entirely rebuilt. Additionally, the drivetrain has received a new clutch kit and new drive shafts. The owner also reports a rebuilt braking system, along with a new master cylinder and new brake rotors and pads. Last but not least, this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 Restoration rides on an upgraded Boge suspension system.

It’s an extensive build that’s done just 2,205 miles so far, and packs some tasty goodies such as a 6.2-liter LT1, a 6-speed autobox, Italian Nappa leather interior, all-weather black mats and more.

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!
Land Rover, that iconic British automaker who gave us the OG Defender way back in 1948, has only risen from strength to strength. Curiously, they are one of a handful of automakers who’ve only offered SUVs in their portfolio. You won’t find a sports car, grand tourer, sedan, station wagon or pickup truck (unless you count the original Defender which was offered in open-bed form). Their Range Rover sub-brand is well-regarded for being a cut above its parent, in terms of luxury as well as sportiness. That’s where this 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE hails from. With under 63,000 miles on the odometer, this two-row midsize luxury SUV is perfect for a family that needs space, luxury, off-road ability and cargo capacity. It’s up for grabs in Largo with two keys included in the sale.
Are you searching for a luxury off-roader with British style and luxury, solid engineering and a pretty decent off-road ability thrown in for good measure?

It’s this 61,000-mile 2020 Land Rover Range Rover P525 HSE LWB from New York. Its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 can give you 518hp while making all the right noises. Meanwhile, its 22-way heated and cooled front seats with memory and massage functions can keep you comfortable under the most demanding driving conditions, be it off-road, or city traffic. There’s even an 825-watt Meridian sound system to soothe your nerves with music of your choice, or, alternatively, get you into a festive mood. What’s not to like about this five-seat family hauler, then?

Its got a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple Stage 2 supercharger tacked on, granting it a rather nice 850 horsepower for you to enjoy. Furthermore, this 8,482-mile super truck from Glenwood packs Ridetech 3/5 suspension, the XLT Series Equipment Group 301A Package, and more. Contact us pronto if you want to take on this black beauty.

The Land Rover Defender is an off-road champion with a fine legacy that dates back to 1948 and the Land Rover Series. It’s rare that you find a model that’s endured for decades without much change in terms of exterior appearance, albeit with hundreds of refinements under the skin, and within the interior. That’s what the Defender – the classic one, that is – is all about. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is a fine example of that statement, and you can get it from Sturbridge, Massachusetts if you wish. With just over 10,000 miles on the clock, this off-road beast packs the formidable 300Tdi powertrain, a manual transmission and a custom interior with air con and Bluetooth!
