What car is this?

I'm current working in the US for 2 weeks and spotted this advert on TV;

I though the car was a Defender, but now I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green

The company was founded as "Metalúrgica de Santa Ana and in 1962 the company became responsible for promoting the Santana and Land Rover brands in the Central and South American Markets as well as Africa.

Because of the harsh working lives vehicles lead in these environments, customer feedback on the range meant that Santana were often far more aware of each model's failings than the Land Rover company itself was.

Because of the tight financial position of British Leyland in this period (who owned Land Rover), Santana were often better placed than Land Rover was to deal with these failings. This meant that Santana began to engineer its own solutions to common problems into the models it produced and so originality between Santana's models and Land Rover's equivalents - a trend which lead to the companies position today. Up to the late 1980s the Santana models - supposed to be quickly and cheaply built versions of Land Rover's own product often ended up being superior to the Land Rover equivalent. For instance Santana models featured anatomical seats, disc-brakes, turbo diesel engines, taper-leaf springs, parabolic springs.
