At this point, the original Land Rover Defender is a British Institution, but bar a few examples that made it to the US in the 90s, this off-roading icon has largely remained out of the hands of American consumers. The good news, though, is that thanks to the 25-year import rule, we can now start to enjoy some of the best Defender models that the rest of the world has had access to. This 1998 MY Land Rover Defender TD5 RHD Restoration was imported from the United Kingdom and features the sought-after 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder diesel engine. It also features some choice upgrades that are bound to tickle the fancy of owners looking to enjoy an adventurous lifestyle.
Although a 1998 Land Rover Defender TD5 is typically found caked in mud, on the days that it isn’t, you’ll find it looks resplendent in its metallic green exterior finish. The boxy styling is trademark Defender, but there’s some curvature up front in the form of a chrome brush guard that features two aftermarket twin front driving lights that have been wired to operate on the vehicle’s high beams. Other exterior features include rear mudflaps from famed Land Rover specialist Britpart and a snorkel air intake to enable wading. The hood also features a rather attractive diamond checkered plate for added protection. There’s even a trailer hitch pre-installed. This 1998 Land Rover Defender TD5 rides on five-spoke, 16-inch alloy wheels with external Land Rover stamping. The rims are wrapped in brand-new BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. While the interior of a Defender may not be the lap of luxury — for instance, you get manual locks and windows — everything is presented to the driver in a logical and thought-out manner. You’ll find manual air vents located beneath the windshield. Being an import from the United Kingdom, the off-roader is naturally right-hand driven. With 11 seats on offer, carrying a party of people will be no problem. The interior has been reupholstered in grey, with a new front jump seat.
This 1998 Land Rover Defender is powered by the almost legendary (amongst Land Rover enthusiasts) TD5 engine. This 2.5-liter turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine outputs a factory-rated 122 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. The owner reports that the engine has received a recent oil change.

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.
Land Rover is a brand that has been built on decades of making unstoppable off-road machines that have captured the hearts and imaginations of automotive enthusiasts the world over. But while they’re known for their luxury SUVs today, their roots started with this: the Land Rover Defender. The Defender is a legendary nameplate, and this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi Crew Cab Pickup is a stunning example of modernizing this classic icon. Powered by a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine, this Defender not only stays true to its roots but has been restored to feature an all-new interior. It even features a modernized touchscreen for the best of both worlds.

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.
The Jeep Cherokee turns 50 and in that time, each generation has satisfied the wants and needs of their custodians. Present today is a lovely example of what is the Jeep Cherokee’s most popular model and takes shape with this 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. This 90s icon features a complete restoration and has reportedly run 1000 miles since its glow up.
