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 comes from a lineage of over 50 years of off-road excellence. The first Land Rover Series examples hit British roads in 1948, and soon made their way to nearly all countries across the globe. Throughout the years, Land Rover made hundreds of enhancements to the Series, including naming it the Defender in late 1990. Produced in several wheelbases, the 90 was the shortest variant available. While most Defender 90s are typically three-door SUVs, this particular 1993 Land Rover Defender 90 is an interesting, two-door single cab pickup truck variant. Bearing 80,000 miles to its name, this vehicle is now up for sale, and makes an excellent off-road runabout.
If there was one machine that immediately represents the art and joy of off-roading you can rest assured that a Land Rover Defender would be a top contender. For over 50 years this British icon has helped push the envelope in terms of exploring the great unknown. Representing the off-road icon today is none other than this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90. With a reported 72,000 miles on the clock, this low mileage example can be yours to experience an authentic Defender experience in all its glory.
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.
If you want a sturdy and capable off-roader for your weekend sojourns, it’s hard to bash a classic Land Rover Defender. With a rich history dating back to 1948, the Land Rover Defender (the old one, since there’s a new one now) is well regarded for its off-road abilities and simplistic demeanor. Yes, you might hear some Land Rover jokes, mostly centering around oil leakages, but in reality, these are the hallmarks of poorly maintained and ill-used examples. Choose a well-cared for Defender, such as this Maine-based 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 and you’ll enjoy plenty of happy journeys in it. This vehicle has undergone a frame-off repaint, received plenty of new parts, and even has a more modern and punchy engine under the hood. We’re also informed that all servicing is up to date.
In a nutshell, the Land Rover Defender TRĕK is designed for serious off-road enthusiasts. The exterior itself exudes off-roading traits to the point that it feels wrong to just drive it around the city. From its roots of carrying personnel at war times, the Land Rover Defender nameplate has evolved to become a modern-day adventurer's best friend. And now this staggering example of the 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 S TRĕK Edition can be your off-roading companion. Inspired by the Trek competition that has roots back to the original Camel Trophy competition, this trailblazer features additional equipment that aids you in your escapade. It is currently garaged in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Combining a luxurious cabin with the promise of all-terrain abilities, this Defender will make your next off-roading experience a hassle-free one.
One of the most iconic four-by-fours to come from Britain, the Land Rover Defender nameplate enjoys a long and glorious history dating way back to 1948, when Land Rover’s Series was released. The vehicle’s iconic shape and styling elements continued largely unchanged, save for some updates and refreshes here and there, all the way until 2016. Beneath the skin, however, massive changes took place. That’s why today’s restored 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 is very different to its older brethren. This vehicle was imported from the United Kingdom and is a right-hand drive variant as a result. A full frame-off restoration is reported to have been carried out by Lucra Motors, and the engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it.
