For Land Rover's 50th anniversary in 1998 two special editions were built. The first was the Defender 50th which was essentially a NAS (North American spec) Defender 90. It was powered by a {{convert|190|hp|abbr=on}} 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine and was the first Land Rover outside North America to be fitted with an [[automatic transmission]]. Air conditioning made them very comfortable vehicles. For the UK and Europe they were painted Atlantis blue, a dark green-blue flip-flop colour, and had a Safety Devices roll-over protection cage for the front seat occupants. In total 1071 50th anniversary Defenders were built; 385 for the UK home market, the rest for Japan, Europe and the Middle East.

Land Rover South Africa also built 26 50th Anniversary edition 90s featuring the BMW M52 engine. The vehicles were painted Santorini Blue with special decal graphics on the sides. They also featured "colour-coded wheel arch mouldings, spot lamps, spare wheel carrier, free style alloy wheels, stainless steel A-frame Bullbar, two-tone solid paint, Willards welding and side runners" as well as "leather seats, radio and CD player, leather steering wheel and gear lever as well as a cooler box." Each was randomly numbered between 1 and 50, as 24 50th Anniversary edition 110s were also built, but with a 300Tdi diesel engine. The 50th Anniversary 110 was called "Safari" and was painted in a limestone green colour. It featured everything included on the 50th Anniversary 90 with the addition of "a roof rack and step ladder, as well as a wrap-around Bullbar in place of the A-frame" and "special cloth seats are used in favour of the leather ones. It is also fitted with a GPS (Pathfinder system)."<ref>{{cite web |title=Limited Edition Defender Celebrates 50 Years of Success for Land Rover World-Wide |url=http://www.landrover.co.za/HOTNEWS/Limited.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981206153249/http://www.landrover.co.za/HOTNEWS/Limited.htm |archive-date=6 December 1998 |access-date=16 August 2016 |website=Land Rover South Africa}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=andyb |date=17 April 2008 |title=Diesel 50th |url=http://www.defender50th.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=3638&sid=c910b809f5ef74c6c53946248bcf0711 |access-date=16 August 2016 |website=The Defender 50th Owners Club and Vehicle Register}}</ref>
