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.
Behold, this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 in all its Stornaway Gray glory. You might notice the short wheelbase nature of this vehicle, that’s because the Defender came in 90 and 110 forms. There was even a 130 variant. The number refers to the approximate length of the wheelbase, in inches. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 also has LED headlamps, alloy wheels, black checkerplate detailing, and side steps. Furthermore, it’s protected from thieves by a Viper security system. Step aboard this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90, and you’ll note its black leather interior. Behind the two front seats are a set of facing benches, for more eager passengers to travel. Then, there’s an additional Eberspacher heating system, plus a Sony flat-screen touch-enabled infotainment system, replete with reverse camera view. You’ve also got air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks. There’s also a center console, with storage and cup holders.
This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 packs a 300Tdi powertrain, which is a turbocharged 2.5-liter diesel engine. The 300Tdi was rated for 111hp and 195lb-ft. In this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90, it’s paired with an automatic transmission, and powers all four wheels via a 2-speed transfer case. This combo means that you can venture off-road with ease, while enjoying ample on-road performance, even on the highways criss-crossing our country.

SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. Many of the once rough and tough desert trailblazers capable of climbing mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 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.

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.
SUVs are making a comeback. And I don’t mean the mall crawlers that misfire when they drive up a road with too many leaves, I mean proper SUVs. Dessert trailblazers that could cross countries without breaking a sweat. This 2022 Ford Bronco Hennessey VelociRaptor with just 21,000 miles is the perfect companion for such excursions. The Bronco is an icon amongst Ford enthusiasts and when they brought the name back in 2021 after a long hiatus, there were high expectations, and boy did they deliver.

One of the most iconic off-roaders, the Jeep Wrangler is renowned for its removable doors and top. There’s only one other off-roader on the market today that allows you to do this; that’s the Ford Bronco. Introduced in 1986, the Wrangler comes decked out with Jeep’s signature off-roading capabilities from the factory. This makes it far more useful off-road than any other SUV before it’s been heavily modified. But, Jeep Wranglers can still be modified for even more capability off road, which is what this third generation, JK-series 2015 Jeep Wrangler Ultimate Sport has become. Now, this 71,000-mile trail beast could be yours!
