In today's world of uncertainty, "Doomsday" style vehicles are steadily on the rise. The Land Rover Defender takes the lead as one the most desired off-road capable vehicles around the globe. No 4x4 vehicle is complete in the United States without some firepower. However, this 1989 Land Rover Defender D130 skyrockets past the rest with it's eccentric appearance. The .50 Caliber M2HB Rifle mounted to the roof (Yes, it is fully operational) is just one of the many modifications that make this SUV the the best on the market. For legal reasons the seller will sell the .50 cal rifle separately.
The exterior of the vehicle is thoughtfully colored in a mix of neutral "Mil Spec" paint blends that lets the vehicle camouflage itself with it's outside surroundings. The custom designed roll cage, along with the half doors on the vehicle allow for users to have full visibility of the surrounding areas as they drive. Being that this is a fully street legal vehicle, it can be enjoyed in the desert during the morning and a downtown city street at night. The upgraded LED lights allow great visibility at all times of the night, and are accompanied by a massive WARN winch to pull you out of any sticky situations. The elephant in the room when looking at this vehicle is the Browning .50 cal M2HB semi-automatic rifle mounted to the roof. If you want to have fun in the wilderness, this goliath is matted to a 55 gallon auxiliary feeder tank, to assure that the festivities last as long as you desire. The interior also allows for much more storage if you decide to use the specially design seat covers that allow users to attach multiple objects to them.
The motor powering this truck is the famous 300tdi 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine. A powerful and very reliable power plant that has proven itself many times throughout the years gives plenty of torque to get through whatever obstacles you may contact. There are many modifications assisting in the performance of this truck including an Allisport XL radiator and intercooler to maintain cool temperatures in even the worst climates. No road, or surface will be an issue with the upgraded Long travel suspension with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks. The most thoughtful upgrade on the entire vehicle is the 75 gallon fuel tank, allowing maximum use of the trucks capabilities .

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!
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.
The Land Rover Defender is probably one of a handful of proper four-by-fours. Forget low profile tires, myriad digital screens and electronics that will throw a fit if a little bit of mud gets splashed on them; the Defender can keep moving even if its caked in mud and tossed around in dirt. Building on the fantastic Series 1 of 1948, the Defender name came about in late 1990, and since then, has been revered by those who want no-nonsense off-road abilities. Of course, vehicles like this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 from Waxhaw, North Carolina do have some nice features such as Exmoor high-back diamond-stitched leather seats and an aftermarket V8, but this one also enjoys a 4-inch lift kit and Fox Racing shocks, on top of many other things.

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.
