The Land Rover Defender has a long and colorful history, dating back to the original Land Rover Series of 1948. World War II was over, and the British public was clamoring for a utilitarian off-roader that could help them in the farms and fields. Land Rover delivered a stunner that, to this day, is considered one of the all-time greats of off-roaders. Hence, this 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 Convertible comes from great parentage and, itself, is a stunner. Showcasing a healthy 86,000 miles, this plucky Brit is ready to double or even quadruple that mileage with the right care.
Wearing a Laguna Blue Gloss paint job, this 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 Convertible looks unique with its contrasting tan canvas top. It's said to have a heavy-duty roll cage beneath the canvas top and windows for added protection. Furthermore, it sports the hood from the later Puma-engined Defender and comes with a classic grille. Underneath, we're told that it's received full undersealing to keep the chassis protected from rust. Then, we find a new galvanized bumper, full checker plating, and halo-smoked LED lights with rings. The vehicle wears 16-inch SVX alloy wheels with BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, including the spare wheel that is rear-mounted on a swing arm. There are also said to be anti-burst locks and latches. Before we climb aboard, take note of the front opening tilt air vents that offer ventilation into the cabin. Welcome aboard, and what a lovely white leather-trimmed interior we have! Sporting two individual front seats plus a pair of twin benches at the rear, you can easily carry six people in this 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 Convertible. You'll also note that this is a right-hand-drive vehicle, but that's no biggie. You can easily get used to it, and others will give you space too. After all, Defenders are relatively rare on our shores.
This 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 Convertible is powered by a 2.5L turbodiesel engine called the 300Tdi. It is factory rated for 111hp and 195lb-ft. Drive goes to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and transfer case.
There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. Many of the once rough and tough desert trailblazers capable of climbing mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.

The once rough and tough desert trailblazers that could climb mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft, many being only suited to the parking lots of the local Mall of America. However, this 1999 Land Rover Defender holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.
In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.

SUVs are making a comeback. And I don’t mean the mall crawlers that misfire when they drive up a road with too many leaves, I mean proper SUVs. Dessert trailblazers that could cross countries without breaking a sweat. This 2022 Ford Bronco Hennessey VelociRaptor with just 21,000 miles is the perfect companion for such excursions. The Bronco is an icon amongst Ford enthusiasts and when they brought the name back in 2021 after a long hiatus, there were high expectations, and boy did they deliver.
