Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1992 Land Rover Defender
90, a left-hand-drive Italian-market example powered by a 200Tdi,
which recently underwent a frame-off restoration and a complete
drivetrain rebuild. This truck was fully disassembled and stripped
down to the chassis for a nut-and-bolt restoration; it boasts
excellent paint and body over a solid frame with zero rust issues
(we have extensive photos documenting the restoration and the
overall soundness of the frame, an often overlooked and highly
critical component for imported Defenders). Finished in all black,
the 18-inch wheels with BF Goodrich all terrains are the perfect
finishing touch. H4 headlights, LED turn signals, brake lights and
parking lamps (plus a custom front bumper with integrated lights)
are a nice upgrade from stock lighting.
Interior presents beautifully with custom-stitched dash, door
panels and seat upholstery - plus new carpets and an exquisite
riveted wood steering wheel from Exmoor Trim. All gauges, switches,
lights, etc. are, of course, working as they should. We appreciate
the fact that the original instrument cluster was retained, showing
an original 152,000 kilometers (which converts to approximately
95,000 miles) - although given the extent of the restoration,
mileage is essentially zero. Per the included British Motor Vehicle
Heritage Trust Certificate, this D90 was delivered new in Italy
where it spent its entire life before being restored by a shop in
northeastern Italy between Venice and Trieste.
Under the hood is Land Rover's 200Tdi turbocharged direct-injection
Diesel mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Engine,
transmission, transfer case, axles and most suspension, steering
and brake components were rebuilt or replaced. This Defender runs
and drives as a new. Recently imported and offered for sale for the
first time in the U.S. Sold on a clean and clear Georgia title. If
you're in the market for a restored and fully-turn-key D90, this
one merits a closer look - also note we have a very similar 1991
D90 in Keswick Green available. For more information about this
