The iconic Land Rover Defender was initially introduced in 1983, is a staple in many commonwealth country’s militaries, police, special forces, and VIP motorcades, to name but a few. The Defender nametag replaced the revered post-World War II-produced Land Rover Series. While common in many parts of the world, it’s somewhat of a rarity in the US. The original Defender ended production in 2016, after an illustrious production run of 33 years. Our subject specimen is a 1986 Land Rover Defender 110, with a complete restoration and has been upgraded in many ways, making it a must-have vehicle in anyone’s arsenal.
Recolored in a Satin Grey exterior color, the interior features two-toned, custom-made, and diamond-stitched leather seats to complement the exterior. This off-roader rides on a set of striking NICHE Staccato wheels wrapped in Nitto AT Terra Grappler rubber. Other exterior visual upgrades include a Kahn grill, Kahn bumper lights, Kahn fender inserts, Kahn hood inserts, plus a roof rack and ladder to keep all your camping gear in place and easily accessible. A nut and bolt restoration has been performed in April 2020. A 7-PIN trailer light kit is installed too. Also included are functioning power windows, as well as central locking. A suede headliner is in place with a diamond-stitched strip. Four custom leather-wrapped jump seats for extra passengers are installed too.
The original ’86 Land Rover Defender was available in various motor options ranging from 2.25L to 3.5L and with four different transmission types. This Defender has been fitted with a reliable American-made new GM motor with a new transmission and a unique electric card style gear shifter. The electric wiring system has been updated, and a new Yellow Top battery is installed. The PCS Powertrain Control has been completely serviced. A custom fuel system has been installed comprising of a 21-gallon powder coated tank, fuel lines, breather filter, tank breather, and a pressure regulator. Complementing the custom build is a custom exhaust pipe.
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 have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. The once rough and tough desert trailblazers that could climb mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 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 decided to create a sturdy, simple, and capable off-roader. They christened their creation the Land Rover, inspired by America’s Willy’s Jeep. Little did they know that this would soon become a hit across the world, and a cult icon. The Land Rover soon became the Land Rover Series, as consecutive years would see it upgraded and enhanced in myriad ways, while retaining much of its iconic design and basic purpose. In 1990, Land Rover renamed the model the Defender, in keeping with its new naming conventions. Available in multiple wheelbases, the 110 is the most popular, thanks to its five-door body and approximately 110-inch wheelbase. Yes, there’s a new Defender now, but it goes without saying that a classic Defender is one of the best ways to explorer the great outdoors. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 175,000-mile 1995 Land Rover Defender for sale. The vehicle was mechanically rebuilt by Land Rover of Austria in Vienna, Austria and comes with all rebuild receipts included in the sale. The paint is covered by a warranty until March 2025, and the vehicle also has a BMIHT certificate.

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.
