Land Rover is one of those British automobile manufacturers which has some of the most widely known vehicles. It is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover and was introduced in 1948, as a predominantly four-wheel drive, off-road capable vehicle. Arguably the Land Rover Defender is the most well-known model of their lineup, the Defender dates all the way back to 1983 when it was first introduced, the Defender is the spiritual successor of the Land Rover Series from 1948. This particular 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 is far from what it was originally built with, as the owner has upgraded it with many parts, and comes with just 1,800 miles on the new engine.
An Aston Martin Ceramic paint job in black, as reported by the owner has been applied to this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110. This three-decade-old vehicle has been upgraded with new fenders, grilles, hood, and flares. The front features upgraded smoked headlights, while the brush guard is powder coated in black. All five doors have been replaced with Puma variant doors, and all the hinges, LED-lit door handles, and mirror arms, are billet aluminum as reported by the owner. New blacked-out glass has been installed all around, with a panoramic wrap-around glass around the back and top of the truck. The assist steps are painted in black matching the exterior. A Puma 2013 bulkhead from a newer Defender has been installed with a touch of modernity. The interior roof is taken up by the massive custom-made moonroof in the middle row, and the new Puma sunroof with seals. Melding with the exterior's color is the interior's custom-made burgundy leather, which reportedly had two hides imported and used. Velour carpeting with custom stitching from the same hide is onboard to complement the interior theme. Custom-made door panels made from the same material are in place along with the rear bench. The interior features black suede trim including the headliner. The front heated seats are equipped with lap belts reportedly. The custom center console features a touch button transmission, extra button panel has been added for heated seats and lights. A Pioneer touchscreen system controls the new custom-made sound system which includes a Diamond 6-speaker sound system, a subwoofer in the second row with a custom metal compartment, and in-built amps. Behind the Chelsea Trucking steering wheel are billet aluminum gauge surrounds and a screen built-in to display data.
The Defender is known for its capabilities with its engines, yet this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 has had its internals ripped out so that only the AC compressor and drum remain. The engine has been replaced by a 6.2L L94 V8 engine coupled with an automatic transmission. Other upgrades include a Ron David custom radiator, a custom air intake system, new hoses and circuits, and a custom exhaust system with quad pipes. New suspension, heavy-duty axles, brakes with copper lines, and a fuel system are installed.
Land Rover’s iconic Defender was discontinued in 2016, but before the public could get disgruntled and start throwing things, Land Rover quickly announced that a new Defender was in the works. Just three years later, the new Defender, or L663 series was introduced, in 90 and 110 forms, plus an elongated 130 variant. Land Rover took the opportunity to modernize the Defender in every way possible, while retaining much of its legendary off-road ability. They also introduced a supremely powerful variant with over 600 horsepower, called the OCTA. Today, we’ve got a box-fresh OCTA with just 385 miles, hailing from Naples, Florida. So, if you want the ultimate family off-roader that can scare many performance cars as well, check out this 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 OCTA Edition One. The vehicle comes with the Interior Protection Pack, Tow Hitch Receiver Pack, Exterior Protection Pack and Emergency Pack too.
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 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!

Known as the 'go everywhere vehicle,' the Land Rover Defender is one of the most utilitarian and iconic vehicles in the world's automotive history and remains a relevant name today. However, much has changed since the Series 1 left the factories in the Fifties. Modern Land Rovers come equipped with all sorts of electronic driver assist systems to make traversal in rough terrain efficient, quick, and convenient. But for those who want a more 'raw experience' to truly connect with the vehicle and conquer the elements without compromising on more modern luxuries, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 is the ideal choice. Reportedly sporting several amenities for the driver, this Land Rover gives both the tactile experience of a classic Land Rover and a range of modern conveniences and luxuries.
