Arguably one of the most recognized British car brands in the world, the Defender nameplate first appeared in 1983, and it's 67-year production run is a true testament to its success. Like the Willy's Jeep, The Defender was designed for military purposes, but quickly gained popularity for its "go anywhere, do anything" attitude. Unfortunately, the U.S banned sales of the Defender in 1997 due to safety regulations but said regulations were lifted in 2020, which meant that examples such as the one featured here could finally legally touch down on American soil. This 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 (short wheelbase) has all of its import documentation and customs approval. The vehicle has also had quite a bit of work to bring it up to modern driving standards and is currently up for sale in Florida with 155,000 miles done.
One of the most distinguishable features about the Defender is its boxy, all-aluminum bodywork. The design choice plays well into the rugged personality that this vehicle is admired for by its loyal global fan base, and this particular example has gone through a lot of care to preserve its heritage. This 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 was repainted in 2021, and now wears a slate grey and gloss black exterior paint, giving it a stealth-like appearance. The vehicle also has tinted windows, a lift kit, and a set of meaty Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires that are said to be replaced not too long ago. The interior keeps within the same trend as the outside of the vehicle, keep in mind, this SUV was meant for military purposes, and comfort options were kept to a minimum. Right off the bat, one of the most recognizable features about this vehicle is that it's right-hand drive. It may be in the U.S, but it is a British vehicle after all. The Defender has its iconic face-to-face bench-style seating in the rear that has reportedly been installed recently and looks fairly new. There's also a recently installed radio with Bluetooth and aux compatibility. It's connected to a sub too, so your music will surely sound sweet.
Under the hood of this 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 sits a torquey 2.5L Turbodiesel engine. As you might have figured out by now, these engines were celebrated for their ability to keep going regardless of the punishment received. This one has recently replaced valve cover seals, a flushed trans box, a full fluid flush on its oil and coolant system, a replaced fan clutch, a replaced coolant thermostat, as well as a recently replaced fuel tank.

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, many being only suited to the parking lots of the local Mall of America. 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.

If you want a tough, go-anywhere, three-door, short-wheelbase off-roader, a Defender 90 is a great way to go about it. The Land Rover Defender has a heritage that dates back to 1948 and has gained a reputation as one of the best off-roaders in the world. While it was also offered in five-door 110 form and even as a pickup truck, the 90 is the weapon of choice for many. If you’ve been on the hunt for a Defender 90, you’ll know that finding a great one is not easy. So, let us make it a cinch for you by offering this one-owner 1997 Land Rover Defender to you. It’s a special edition called the County with some nice enhancements. Plus, we’ve got all the paperwork and history pertaining to the vehicle for you to inspect.
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.
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.
