The world collectively groaned when Land Rover decided to retire the long-running Defender in 2016. With roots tracing back to 1948’s Land Rover Series, the Defender can be considered to be the model that made Land Rover what it is today. That’s why when the new Defender debuted in 2019 it was met with much anticipation. Of course, it had to comply with modern crash regulations, as well as offer some degree of modern luxury and comfort, while retaining the tough, go-anywhere ethos of the original. With this 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 Carpathian Edition that we have on sale, we think you’ll find that Land Rover’s done a fine job. Bearing just 150 miles, this is as brand-new as you can expect.
The design team at Land Rover, headed by Gerry McGovern had a tough task; how do you make a modern iteration of a classic with lines first designed in the 1940s? Here’s the result as modeled by this 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 Carpathian Edition in a Carpathian Gray paint job. It’s squat stance and dark mien is further accentuated by 22-inch blacked alloys with the DEFENDER script, wrapped in Continental CrossContact rubber. At the rear, clear tail lamps are designed in a homage to the original’s simple circular units, and quad exhausts tell you that there’s a stonking powerplant beneath the hood. Climb aboard and enter the Vintage Tan Windsor and Ebony interior, and it’s clear that this is miles apart from the spartan cabin of the original. It feels like any modern Land Rover, with multifunction steering wheel, electric front seats, dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment system, Meridian sound system and digital instrument cluster. Added toys include the Basic Rear Seat Entertainment pack, Emergency pack and Premium Interior Protection and Storage pack.
Defenders of yore used to pack sturdy turbodiesel engines that produced modest power and torque, but made up for it with longevity. This 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 Carpathian Edition takes Land Rover’s most potent 5.0L supercharged V8 and stuffs it under the hood. With 518hp and 461lb-ft sent to all four wheels via a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, you’re going to sixty from rest in under six seconds. A two-speed transfer case, locking rear and center differentials, and the usual suite of Land Rover off-road modes ensure that capability in the rough hasn’t been compromised.
The Land Rover Defender has gained a name for itself all over the world as a supremely capable off-roader. With a glorious history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the classic Defender maintains much of its ancestor’s styling cues. However, it’s vastly different under the skin. The Defender name came about in 1991 with two variants. The 90 variant was a short wheelbase two-door affair, while the 110 sported four doors and a longer wheelbase. The numbers do refer to the wheelbase size in inches. So, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has a 90-inch (approximate) wheelbase and is a two-door machine. The current owner tells us it’s received regular servicing and maintenance and a more powerful engine.
A true hero of British off-roading, the classic Land Rover Defender can directly trace its lineage all the way back to the Series I of 1948. In fact, you can trace that lineage for yourself by Googling up images of both and placing them side-by-side. Then, you’ll see that the appearance is nearly identical. However, the two aren’t that similar under the skin. Land Rover made hundreds of improvements over the years. That’s why many people who want a classic Land Rover but still prefer some modern features in a sturdy, off-road-friendly package pick a Defender. So, why not choose this plucky short-wheelbase 1987 Land Rover Defender as your off-road companion? The vehicle has traveled a healthy 167,000 miles but has also received plenty of TLC, ensuring that it stays fresh.
The rough and tough of the great outdoors requires a motor thats nothing short of legendary and equipped to push through with resilience and grit. Present today is exactly that: a legendary machine that takes shape with this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS Outlander Pickup. The current owner reports that this off-road legend has seen a full restoration and has been imported from South Africa.
Land Rover’s classic Defender is one of the most well-known off-roaders on the planet. Dating back to the Land Rover Series 1 of 1948, the Defender has decades of experience and improvement behind it. Strictly speaking, this particular 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration can’t be called a Defender because the Defender name officially came in 1990. But it’s got so many new parts and enhancements, not to mention its pedigree, that it deserves the tag. The vehicle was imported from Great Britain and has undergone a full restoration by Defender Motorsport. So, if you’re looking for a Defender with several twists, this is the one for you.
The majority of Range Rover owners purchase them not just for their robust off-road capabilities and cutting-edge technology but also for the value that the brand name brings to the table. It has always been one of the names we think of when we talk of ultra-luxury SUVs. Land Rover launched three special editions of the Range Rover for the 2021 model year. Namely, the Fifty Edition (which celebrates the 50th birthday of their flagship SUV), the Westminster Edition, and the Dynamic Black Edition. With this listing, we are talking about the well-equipped midrange model, the 2021 Range Rover HSE Westminster Edition. This sophisticated example is said only to have 31,200 miles on its odometer. Keep reading to find out about the luxuries this grand ride has to offer.
If you're a car enthusiast, there's a good chance you've given thought to what the perfect car would be in an apocalypse. Present today is the manifestation of those thoughts, and it takes form with this 1993 Land Rover Defender 110. With a reported 52,500 miles on the clock, this isn't just another Defender but one that is reported to be fully armored and formerly used by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
