Miles Overview
The Defender is Land Rover's legendary off-road utility vehicle, the one that defined rugged capability long before luxury SUVs existed. The cabin is basic and functional, with vinyl seats, a simple dashboard, and plenty of exposed metal. You get a flat load floor and removable body panels, making it as practical for hauling gear as it is for trail work. This 1988 Defender is the base model, so you get the essentials without the extra gear of the County or V8 trims. The 2.5-liter diesel four-cylinder makes modest power, but it's geared low for crawling and will run on nearly anything. The four-speed manual transmission is a no-nonsense unit that rewards deliberate shifts and keeps you connected to the terrain.
