At this point, the original Land Rover Defender is a British Institution, but bar a few examples that made it to the US in the 90s, this off-roading icon has largely remained out of the hands of American consumers. The good news, though, is that thanks to the 25-year import rule, we can now start to enjoy some of the best Defender models that the rest of the world has had access to. This 1998 MY Land Rover Defender TD5 RHD Restoration was imported from the United Kingdom and features the sought-after 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder diesel engine. It also features some choice upgrades that are bound to tickle the fancy of owners looking to enjoy an adventurous lifestyle.
Although a 1998 Land Rover Defender TD5 is typically found caked in mud, on the days that it isn’t, you’ll find it looks resplendent in its metallic green exterior finish. The boxy styling is trademark Defender, but there’s some curvature up front in the form of a chrome brush guard that features two aftermarket twin front driving lights that have been wired to operate on the vehicle’s high beams. Other exterior features include rear mudflaps from famed Land Rover specialist Britpart and a snorkel air intake to enable wading. The hood also features a rather attractive diamond checkered plate for added protection. There’s even a trailer hitch pre-installed. This 1998 Land Rover Defender TD5 rides on five-spoke, 16-inch alloy wheels with external Land Rover stamping. The rims are wrapped in brand-new BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. While the interior of a Defender may not be the lap of luxury — for instance, you get manual locks and windows — everything is presented to the driver in a logical and thought-out manner. You’ll find manual air vents located beneath the windshield. Being an import from the United Kingdom, the off-roader is naturally right-hand driven. With 11 seats on offer, carrying a party of people will be no problem. The interior has been reupholstered in grey, with a new front jump seat.
This 1998 Land Rover Defender is powered by the almost legendary (amongst Land Rover enthusiasts) TD5 engine. This 2.5-liter turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine outputs a factory-rated 122 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. The owner reports that the engine has received a recent oil change.

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!
There are many motor vehicles that have been described as legendary. So many, in fact, that the word has lost much of its meaning. While there have been many interesting machines introduced in the last 100 years, only a relative handful truly deserve this accolade. One of the few that does is the English Land Rover. This amazing 4x4 wagon, the first of its kind, is instantly recognized wherever it appears. In fact, it is the first motor vehicle ever seen by a quarter of the world's population. While its look has hardly changed since 1948, the vehicle that the world knows as a Land Rover has come a long way. The Land Rover Defender has a production window of over 60 years, starting with the original series 1. This example of the 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 has covered 14,707 miles and is currently located in Westport, Connecticut.
Debuting in 1969, the Range Rover was made by Land Rover as a vehicle that would slot in above their Land Rover Series model, in terms of size, as well as luxury. It proved to be a strong seller, and continues to this day, having spawned some sub-derivatives like the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar too. Hence, for those seeking an iconic British luxury four-by-four, a regular Range Rover is a great choice. Today’s 2017 Range Rover SV Autobiography LWB is a Cornelius-based fourth generation variant with only under 37,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a powerful supercharged V8 under the hood, a panoramic sliding glass roof, and comes in long wheelbase variant for extra interior space. Hence, it’s a superbly spacious luxury SUV for a family that only needs four seats.

The Land Rover Defender is one of the strangest cars in the automotive world, at least the older models are. They aren’t the most enjoyable to drive or the most comfortable carrier for passengers. Yet they are absolutely adored all around the world for their undeniable British character. The Defender is as British as warm beer, good tea, and bad teeth. Not to mention, they are mighty good off-roaders as well. What you’ll often find in the market or on roads is the Defender 110, rendering the short-wheelbase Defender 90 quite rare to come by. This 2000 Land Rover Defender 90 found its way to our inventory from St. Cloud, Florida. Having driven over 119000, this example remains well-maintained and boasts a re-upholstered interior.
The off-roading world mourned when Ford announced the discontinuation of their beloved Bronco in 1996. This was after its fifth generation, and no one thought there would be a sixth. However, it was reintroduced in 2020 amidst the ovation of off-roading enthusiasts. Bearing styling and technology of the modern world, the Bronco stays true to its essence, a rugged off-roading machine. This 2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks 4x4 is a great example that comes to you with a few optional packages. Reports reveal that it has under 40,000 miles on its odometer, and it awaits its new buyer in Tecumseh, Michigan.
The corporate cousin of the Chevrolet Silverado range, GMC’s Sierra line-up of pickup trucks is positioned at a slightly more luxurious point than its Chevy counterpart. Currently in the fourth generation of Sierra (which is the fifth generation of Silverado), the duo got a mid-cycle refresh in 2022. Changes included a revamped front end and an updated interior design, plus some tweaks here and there. That’s what you’ll be availing yourself to with this sub-34,000-mile 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation from Pompano Beach, Florida. It’s got the Elevation Premium Package, Elevation Black Package, X31 Offroad & Protection Package and a stout Duramax diesel under the hood. So, if you want a family-friendly truck that can take you further than where the tarmac ends, this is one fine option to consider.
