Vehicle Description
This is a 1994 Defender 90 with a 300Tdi engine and R380 5-speed
gearbox, a right-hand drive, true to form British example. It
underwent a nice refurbishment back in 2020 and it has been
finished in Land Rover Carmen red with contrasting Santorini black
roof, hood, and wheel arches. It's equipped with the sought after
300Tdi engine, regarded by many in the Land Rover world as their
best engine produced and has earned a tough-as-nails reputation.
This beauty is ready to be enjoyed regardless of whether you take
it on the streets or get it dirty on the trails. Distinct,
intimidating, and genuinely rugged, this Land Rover Defender 90 is
the ideal 4x4 to take you on an adventure, but it's also such a
looker, that we know you'll enjoy it around town too.
Another great reason to have a Land Rover built for a foreign
country is under the hood. As the US market was never blessed with
Land Rover diesel power plants and we all know diesel provides the
best torque to get you through or over anything. The 2.5-liter
4-cylinder diesel engine in this Defender has just 119k miles and
runs very well. For reliability in the harshest conditions, there's
simply nothing that can beat the 300Tdi engine which is paired with
the R380 5-speed manual gearbox. It moves through the gears well
and it has no problem running through traffic and it can cruise at
highway speeds. It provides high performance on-road with the
capability to tackle the worst off-road conditions, in nearly every
driving environment the world can offer. No other 4x4 vehicle has
the pedigree and track record like a Land Rover, a Rover of the
Land. Not only was it one of the first, but it also remains the
world's benchmark off-road vehicle, exhilarating to drive, highly
reliable, and simplicity to maintain. With improved longevity and
overall performance this has made this a desirable engine over the
years, making this a great vehicle for off road adventures or to
enjoy daily.
Inside it's as basic as you'd expect for an old Land Rover, with
very clean black seats up front and traditional Land Rover
side-facing bench seats in the rear. Factory gauges cover the
basics. The control levers manage the 5-speed manual transmission
and 2-speed transfer case/hi-low range. The cargo bay offers enough
room for storage and for extra passengers. It has a modern and
stylish twist with a black front grille, LED lights all round and
sits on modern Land Rover 16" Boost alloy wheels wrapped with
BFGoodrich tires. It comes All lights, heater, wipers, and gauges
work, as they should. This D90 is ready for anything, daily driver,
mud crawler, 4x4 off-roading or garage queen. Equipped with power
steering and disc brakes all round reminds you that go-anywhere
also means being easy to drive and more importantly enjoyable once
you get behind the wheel. It merely needs a new owner who is ready
to get behind the wheel to enjoy this Defender. This is a legendary
4x4 that has both style and substance. Overall, this is one stylish
and modern Defender 90 that has absolutely everything going for
it.
