1997 Land Rover Defender 90

This is a very stylish 1997 Defender 90 soft top, its a left-hand drive (LHD) example that was originally delivered to Italy. Its been fully refurbished in new Land Rover Balmoral blue with a black Exmoor Trim Stayfast Mohair hood laid over a Lucari heavy duty bar set. It's ready to be enjoyed whether you use it on the streets, get it dirty on the trails, or cruise along the beaches. It has a 300Tdi 2.5-liter 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine and has 189,653 kilometers, which is around 117k miles and has been updated with a new speedometer which is in miles per hour. It runs and drives superbly well, for reliability in the harshest conditions, there's simply nothing that can beat 300Tdi diesel power, with its turbocharged direct injection (Tdi) technology paired with the robust R380 5-speed manual gearbox, it provides improved economy with even greater power, torque, longevity, and reliability. Distinct, intimidating, and genuinely rugged, this Defender 90 is the ideal 4x4 to take you on any adventure, but it's also such a looker, that we know you'll enjoy it around town too. It looks ready to take on the toughest challenges, whether it be those winding mountain roads or to airing down tires to cruise along the beach. The classic blue paint, clear LED lights, black alloy wheels contrast the mohair top very well and offers vintage style and substance.

The interior has that new car feel with Lucari interior carpet, front Lucari black grain seats with white stitching, with a matching center cubby box and with four individual jump seats in the rear cargo area. It has an Exmoor Trim Mohair Stayfast black hood with zip up side windows, laid over a heavy-duty roll bar protection, that offers both open top and enclosed configuration for the ultimate wind in your hair driving experience. The refurb also included new seat belts, new switches, new windscreen, new rearview mirror, new wood rim steering wheel, gear knobs, new door cards, new exterior seals, new door hinges, new bolts to further enhance this new car feel of this sweet driving machine. It even still has its original jack and tool kit, stored where they should be, in fresh covers behind the front seats on the rear bulkhead. Theres even a Hynes owners workshop manual in the cubby box for the next enthusiastic Land Rover owner. Factory gauges cover the basics and the controls, with gear levers managing the 5-speed transmission and 2-speed transfer case/hi-low range in easy reach. This beautiful truck has been further overhauled with a full engine service including new timing belt, all fluids, brake pads, brake rotors and suspension. The suspension has all been replaced and it rides on all new SuperGaz 2 lifted suspension with fresh springs, shocks and bushings. It sits on stylish Nemesis 16 alloy wheels wrapped in chunky Insa Turbo Traction tires with 30mm wheel spacers for some rugged stance. The matching spare wheel sits on a Safari single pivot wheel carrier which is the only rear spare carrier that doesnt interfere with the function of the Mohair Stayfast hood for easy access to the rear cabin with the swingout door. This Defender 90 has timeless appeal, so you get traditional ruggedness, blended with some of the best modern style, making for such a beautiful Defender 90.
