As the ultimate version of the original Land Rover, (the Defender 90) proved capable of meeting just about every off-road challenge.... �€"Hagerty The Land Rover Defender has a 70-year history across five generations of the model. Legendary-too often applied to various automobile brands-is in fact an apt description for this rugged, simple, highly capable four-wheel-drive vehicle. A veteran of British military service, many an African safari, and service to celebrities from Winston Churchill to Paul McCartney, the Defender satisfies in a way no lesser off-road-capable vehicle really does. Across its first three generations, the Defender suffered from one recurring criticism: those earlier vehicles could be uncomfortable, and so, hard to live with. The Land Rover people addressed this issue head-on with the launch of the Defender 90. (The Defender 90) marked the first time a Land Rover utilized the coil-spring suspension from the Range Rover to replace the old cars' archaic leaf-spring design. Various quality-of-life improvements, like a more comfortable interior and modernized engine lineup, made tremendous strides in on-road driving manners. (Motor Trend) Alas, only a very few Defender 90s were ever allocated to the U.S. market, just 2,000 per year over a four-year run. Offered here, is a right-hand-drive Defender 90. Showing 194,000 miles (or fewer than 6,700 miles per-year, on average) on its odometer, the well-earned Land Rover reputation for longevity-particularly when powered by a diesel engine-promises many times that number still remain to be traveled, explored, conquered... and enjoyed. The truck wears handsome recent dark-red metallic paint, shiny and uniform across the body. The red is accented with black on bumpers, grille-surround, mirrors, wheels, running boards, roof ladder, and other trim giving the Defender a restrained look, with undeniable presence. Equipment upgrades on the exterior include a full-width, roof-mounted, off-road LED light bar, as well as LEDs replacing less-bright original lighting on driving lights, marker lights, and directional indicators. A powered SmittyBilt XLS winch is mounted in the front bumper; a snorkel air-intake system adds fording capability; a full roof rack (accessed via the body-fixed ladder) adds safari-capable cargo capacity. Factory badges and emblems (including the Range Rover identification in black on the truck's rear body, and the Defender logo on the spare-tire insert) are all in place. Out front, the tops of both fenders feature black, textured-steel anti-slip surfaces for safe servicing during inclement weather, and the same surfaces appear the lower body and behind the rear wheels. Cooper Discoverer STT LT235/85 R16 tires are mounted. Inside, the truck has benefitted from further comfort and convenience upgrades. Brown leather upholstery covers all seating surfaces, front buckets and four fold-down, side-facing rear jump seats, and is echoed on the door trim and the cabin headliner. Interior courtesy lighting has been augmented with LEDs, a DVD entertainment system is mounted in the rear-passenger area, and a Pioneer audio head unit with pop-up video screen has been added to the dash. A backup camera is also mounted. In keeping with the overall character of the vehicle, cabin floors are cover
