Vehicle Description
1987 Land Rover Santana 2500 DC / Defender 90This is a 1987 Land
Rover Defender Santana DC 2500 edition that was imported from
Valencia, Spain in 2019. It has a fully rebuilt 2.5 liter
4-Cylinder 12J Diesel engine and 5-speed manual gearbox. There has
been a lot of money invested in this truck! It even comes with a
$22,000 receipt for recent servicing included! Its next owner will
be one extremely lucky individual! Rust free and refinished inside
and out in a wonderful color combination, it's a beautiful truck
with fantastic curb appeal. The classic Defender 90 body style has
been stripped and refinished in "RAF Blue," the Land Rover color
supplied to the British Royal Air Force, with the (completely
removable) roof set off in Indigo, and color matched wheels with
oversized tires. Inside, the front seats have been recovered using
new foams and a combination of back sides with tan/white/blue
multi-stripe cloth seating surfaces. Four individually-folding rear
jump seats have been reupholstered to match, and they can be used
for normal seating, folding up out of the way, or removed entirely
in minutes, allowing exceptional flexibility of the rear
compartment. Comfortable and stylish, the color scheme couples
classic British Military styling and modern touches. An updated
Defender grille and modern LED lighting front and rear subtly
modernizes the look, combined with short rear bumpers and other
details. Underneath, the chassis is rust free and straight. With a
recently rebuilt drivetrain, it runs and drives excellent with no
mechanical needs. The fresh and legendary "12J" Defender diesel
engine has been recently overhauled from the block up and fires up
quickly. Clutch takeup is correct and the truck changes gears up or
down crisply. The factory power steering is precise and direct,
with a light feel at parking speeds and pleasant weight on the
highway. With the well-damped suspension, the Santana feels planted
and sure in all conditions. Everything works as it should. With the
brawny, muscled-up good looks of a late Defender, fully sorted and
ready to go, this truck is ready for its next loving caretaker. A
superb value and exciting opportunity!
