Land Rover’s classic Defender is one of the most well-known off-roaders on the planet. Dating back to the Land Rover Series 1 of 1948, the Defender has decades of experience and improvement behind it. Strictly speaking, this particular 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration can’t be called a Defender because the Defender name officially came in 1990. But it’s got so many new parts and enhancements, not to mention its pedigree, that it deserves the tag. The vehicle was imported from Great Britain and has undergone a full restoration by Defender Motorsport. So, if you’re looking for a Defender with several twists, this is the one for you.
This 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration comes to you in a lovely shade of red, but that’s just one of many factors vying for your attention. For starters, you’ll definitely notice its black Lucari wheels that wear new Goodyear Wrangler tires. Then, you’ll see its LED headlamps and gaze at its black roof rack. And then, you’ll open a door and enter its red-themed interior. The interior features a Dakota Digital dashboard, a Lokar shifter, and a new air conditioning unit, for starters. It can seat up to five adults on soft leather seats, and you’ll note that there’s a center console with cup holders for front-seat occupants to use. If you really need more seating, there are two facing benches in the rear luggage area. We’ve also got a touchscreen infotainment system and some upgraded speakers.
This 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration features a new L83 5.3L small-block V8 with less than 500 miles on it. The engine is paired with a GM 8L90E 8-speed automatic transmission and a new Nassau driveshaft to drive all four wheels. Then, we’ve got a Winner Racing 70mm radiator, Painless Performance fuel injection, RW Performance engine mount and transmission adapter, MSD 8.5mm superconductor spark plugs, and a K&N universal performance air filter. Meanwhile, the V8 sounds fantastic, thanks to the new Hooker LS exhaust system with Magnaflow smooth transition mandrel bends, and Summit Racing carbon fiber tips. Elsewhere, we’ve got a Detroit Speed power steering pump, a Walbro high-pressure fuel pump, and Terrafirma shock absorbers. There’s plenty more, so give us a call to hear all about it.

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.
The original Land Rover Defender may have sold well in the US, but — bar a very limited number — it was not officially offered to stateside consumers. But now that we’re seeing specialists and fans import some of these iconic off-roaders to our shore, it may just be the best time to find out what makes the Defender so unique. Our featured 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 has undergone a full restoration. The owner reports that the frame has been sandblasted, repainted, and sealed, with the full frame-off restoration having been completed in 2016. The engine has been rebuilt, too, and a whole host of other parts have been replaced to ensure the reliable running of this 4x4 for many years to come.
Land Rover is a brand that has been built on decades of making unstoppable off-road machines that have captured the hearts and imaginations of automotive enthusiasts the world over. But while they’re known for their luxury SUVs today, their roots started with this: the Land Rover Defender. The Defender is a legendary nameplate, and this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi Crew Cab Pickup is a stunning example of modernizing this classic icon. Powered by a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine, this Defender not only stays true to its roots but has been restored to feature an all-new interior. It even features a modernized touchscreen for the best of both worlds.

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. This 2023 Range Rover with just under 30,000 miles takes a slightly different approach. 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.
The Jeep Cherokee turns 50 and in that time, each generation has satisfied the wants and needs of their custodians. Present today is a lovely example of what is the Jeep Cherokee’s most popular model and takes shape with this 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. This 90s icon features a complete restoration and has reportedly run 1000 miles since its glow up.
