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.
This particular 1987 Land Rover Defender showcases its timeless design in a variety of ways. Firstly, it's got a coat of red paint as the main highlight. Then, its canvas soft top comes in black and is reportedly new. The front grille is new, too, and the headlamps are modern LED units. In fact, it’s reported that all lighting at the front and back has been replaced. Meanwhile, the vehicle rolls on a set of new black alloy wheels with new tires wrapped around them. There’s also a new front bumper with a winch. Meanwhile, we’ve been informed that a cross-member at the back of the chassis was recently replaced. The interior of this 1987 Land Rover Defender is also said to have had its upholstery replaced with a combination of smooth and diamond-patterned leather, offering seating for up to seven people. However, the dashboard remains classic Defender, with a no-nonsense approach and only essential items present. Wind-up windows and manually operated mirrors are the order of the day, and there doesn’t appear to be a radio of any sort. It's best to bring along a Bluetooth speaker, then.
The 200Tdi engine that propels this 1987 Land Rover Defender is a turbocharged 2.5-liter turbodiesel unit that can provide reliable power whenever you need it. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The current owner says that the exhaust has been replaced, as has the rubber components in the suspension, plus the rear shock absorbers. The brake master pump has also been replaced.

However, this 1999 Land Rover Defender 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.

SUVs nowadays have lost their off-road ability. Most of them are just glorified people haulers with leather dashboards that roam the parking lots of malls.

It combines all the great traits of modern SUVs (luxury, sportiness, style) with the great traits of older SUVs (off-road ability). It’s easy to see why Land Rover has been producing the Range Rover for over 50 years. They seem to do what very few other car makers can do; Drive off the road as well as it can on the road.
