This 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 is an absolute classic of the sport and utility world. Highly sought after and collectible, the Defender was introduced as an alternative to the Land Rover Discovery. Since then, it has evolved into a league all its own for collectors and vintage enthusiasts. With British engineering and a design straight from World War II, the Defender is a nod to another era. The well kept secret on this example though, is its modern updates and high performance mods that bring it into the 21st century. The 2.5 litre diesel engine packs more than enough power to keep this timeless 4x4 rolling along.
This example has been refinished with a metallic gray and boasts aftermarket bumpers for added safety on the road. The panoramic windows offer a wide ranging view for both the driver and passengers. Equipped with a safari snorkel for efficient cooling and protection from dirt and water. The custom interior is held together with diamond stitching and features LED lighting for increased visibility. Original instruments complete the preserved feel of this blast from the past. A floor shifter controls the five-speed manual gearbox.
This Defender’s 200 Tdi Turbodiesel inline four packs the power that gets it up the mountain. The integral transfer case makes for smooth shifting and the modern fuel injection system was ahead of its time even then. This Turbodiesel edition features a redesigned crankshaft and Teflon-coated pistons to help with the higher temperatures of the power output. This is the 4x4 that started it all. The two-speed transfer gearbox distributes the power throughout the entire chassis for exceptional balance on rocky terrain. All of this rolls along on 16” wheels equipped with BF Goodrich tires.

Every country has its own off-road icon. Japan has the Land Cruiser, America has the Jeep Wrangler, and Germany has the Mercedes G-Class. But none of these quite compare to the Land Rover Defender. Its origins can be traced back to 1948 when the first Land Rover was launched. Over the next few decades, it evolved into the Series II and the Series III (including a few sub-series), and in 1983, an improved, more modern Land Rover 110 was launched. This would bear the distinct appearance that we now call the Defender (a nameplate that was finally attached to it in 1990). Production finally ended in 2016 after 67 years and over 2 million units. But the story doesn’t end there, for in 2020, Land Rover launched the all-new L663 Defender. “Same, but different” is the simplest way to describe this new car, as it clearly carries many design elements from its heritage and brings the great off-road capabilities of its forefathers, but with modern technology and comfort integrated into it. This 2023 Defender 100 S Trek Edition is quite special, as the owner tells us that it's number 80 out of only 100 units built that exist in North America.
The classic Land Rover Defender is directly descended from 1948’s Land Rover Series I. After World War II, the Rover Company of Britain wanted to create a tough off-road vehicle for agricultural use. Things started as the Series I, then Series II, Series III, and finally the Defender by the early 1990s. Across the world, Defenders are renowned for their tough persona and go-anywhere capabilities. This 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is no different. What’s more, the vehicle is fresh from a restoration that was completed in February 2025. It also has a new engine that is less than 1,000 miles on it. Basically, this is a born-again vehicle that’s better than when it left the factory in 1997 and is up for grabs with us. If you wish to own it, give us a call or shoot us a DM pronto.
The Land Rover Defender is a legend in its own right. Directly hailing from 1948’s Land Rover Series, it comes with a rich heritage of off-road capability and brutal abilities to forge a path where none exists. That’s why you’ll find these vehicles in many parts of the world, chugging through inhospitable terrain that’s so tough you wouldn’t be able to walk through by yourself! Today, we’ve got a 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 with a difference for you to consider adding to your stable. This vehicle hails from Friendswood, Texas, and comes with plenty of surprises. Read on to discover some of them, but to know it all, get in touch with us ASAP.
The Rover company of Britain had to shift their priorities to adjust to the post-war consumer environment. Prior to the War, Rover made luxury cars but in a new era of promised prosperity among austerity, the automaker turned their attention towards bolstering Britain’s burgeoning agricultural industry. The Willys Jeep of USA was the inspiration, and what emerged was the Land Rover Series in 1948. The Series became the Series II, Series III, and Defender over many decades of solid service, not only in Britain, but across the world. Meanwhile, a Spanish automaking outfit called Santana started working closely with Land Rover to build their own versions in Spain. Today, we’ve got one of their creations, a 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana that was reportedly given a full frame-off restoration in 2023. The vehicle’s rebuilt engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it, as has its rebuilt gearbox. Furthermore, this vehicle was imported from Colombia, highlighting the journey that it’s taken halfway across the world to get to Florida where it currently awaits a new owner – which could be you!
