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 green paint worn by this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 was completed in February 2025, along with the restoration of the vehicle. Then, you’ve got new gloss black wheels and new tires for this vehicle to roll on smoothly. Checking the spec sheet, we also discover a new Defender roof rack with lights, new fog lamps, a front bumper grille guard, and an aftermarket hood vent. Furthermore, since this Defender is a 110 variant, it’s great for family use thanks to its four-door body style and capacious cargo space. Now, let’s venture aboard. The interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 features black leather seating. There are two rows in the main cabin for up to five adults, plus a set of facing benches in the cargo area. You’ll also be grateful to see the steering wheel on the left-hand side since some UK-import Defenders tend to be right-hand drive. The seats in this vehicle are new, as are the carpeting, headliner, and electronic gauges. You’ll also see a wood-grain steering wheel and a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth capabilities.

In a nutshell, the Land Rover Defender TRĕK is designed for serious off-road enthusiasts. The exterior itself exudes off-roading traits to the point that it feels wrong to just drive it around the city. From its roots of carrying personnel at war times, the Land Rover Defender nameplate has evolved to become a modern-day adventurer's best friend. And now this staggering example of the 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 S TRĕK Edition can be your off-roading companion. Inspired by the Trek competition that has roots back to the original Camel Trophy competition, this trailblazer features additional equipment that aids you in your escapade. It is currently garaged in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Combining a luxurious cabin with the promise of all-terrain abilities, this Defender will make your next off-roading experience a hassle-free one.
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 TRĕK 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 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!
