The Land Rover Defender, an automotive legend by design and destiny, was conceived to redefine the off-roading landscape, offering unwavering performance and durability meant to endure through the ages. Embodying the heritage of a revered marque and instilling unwavering confidence in conquering the great outdoors, we present the 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 300TDI. With this iconic machine in excellent condition and 195,350 miles on its odometer, it stands ready to traverse further, true to the timeless Land Rover tradition.
Its unmistakable boxy silhouette and enduring design language remain as relevant as ever, elevated in the case of this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 300TDI by its captivating two-tone dark green and white exterior. This ruggedly chic color scheme evokes the essence of off-roading, complemented by select black exterior accents. The present owner has thoughtfully refurbished certain exterior components, ensuring their luster shines anew. The 90's short wheelbase design is further accentuated by a set of contemporary Land Rover wheels. While unapologetically built for rough and rugged off-road adventures, the black interior of this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 offers just the right degree of comfort to keep you and your passengers secure. The interior maintains its originality, with clean lines and intact components. Notably, the front seats have undergone a rejuvenation process, featuring fresh foam and new covers, while the rear benches are entirely new units. The current owner has gone the extra mile to refresh the front dashboard with new plastic and switches, complemented by the addition of a classic wooden steering wheel, enhancing the tactile driving experience.
Undoubtedly, the Land Rover Defender's most iconic attribute lies under the hood. Lifting the bonnet of this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 300TDI reveals the legendary turbocharged 300Tdi inline-4 diesel powerplant, engineered to propel you with unwavering assurance into the great unknown. This dependable British powertrain has received a new timing belt and rear brake enhancements, enhancing its stopping prowess. In true off-road fashion, this British powerhouse distributes its might to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, affording you maximum control over gear selection when venturing into the wild.
The Land Rover Defender comes from a lineage of over 50 years of off-road excellence. The first Land Rover Series examples hit British roads in 1948, and soon made their way to nearly all countries across the globe. Throughout the years, Land Rover made hundreds of enhancements to the Series, including naming it the Defender in late 1990. Produced in several wheelbases, the 90 was the shortest variant available. While most Defender 90s are typically three-door SUVs, this particular 1993 Land Rover Defender 90 is an interesting, two-door single cab pickup truck variant. Bearing 80,000 miles to its name, this vehicle is now up for sale, and makes an excellent off-road runabout.
If there was one machine that immediately represents the art and joy of off-roading you can rest assured that a Land Rover Defender would be a top contender. For over 50 years this British icon has helped push the envelope in terms of exploring the great unknown. Representing the off-road icon today is none other than this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90. With a reported 72,000 miles on the clock, this low mileage example can be yours to experience an authentic Defender experience in all its glory.
There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
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!
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.

Performance SUVs are an automotive niche that doesn't play around, you have the practicality a SUV offers plus the performance that can put sports cars to shame.

The Hummer H2 was introduced in 2002 and was made until 2009. The H2 was the smaller and more manageable cousin of the gargantuan H1 that some people found to be a tad unwieldy. After all, the H1 was basically a civilianized variant of a military vehicle, and it came with several compromises as a result. The H2 was a clean-sheet design that incorporated H1 styling cues, but was made for the road rather than the battlefield. That’s why you’ll find it easier to live with an H2 if you’ve always wanted a Hummer. Plus, the H2 also came with a pretty potent V8 under the hood. But if you want an H2 with some serious punch, check out this supercharged 2004 Hummer H2 that’s reportedly got 1,000 horsepower and an engine that spins all the way to 7,000rpm. Sounds exciting? Read on.
