WheelsShown here is a Defender 90 Soft Top with a recent repaint,
custom leather interior, and a new Exmoor Trim Soft top. The
Defender was sourced out Sarrians France from a Monsieur Olivier.
This Defender came from the dry French southeastern climate of
Provence-Alpes-C�te d'Azur region which is evident upon inspection.
Originally sold new on December 12, 1997 in France. This Defender
has stayed well preserved over the years due to the dry southern
French climate in the same area regionally as Spain and Italy. This
1997 Land Rover Defender 90 300TDI is shown with a Coniston Olive
Green exterior featuring a Black Exmoor Trim Canvas top. The
interior seating surfaces are finished in a Chocolate Fluted high
grade leather with black rubber floormats found throughout. We kept
the color combinations to green, black, and chocolate as to not
have too many competing colors or patterns. The center console
features an integrated Marshall Bluetooth speaker. The aftermarket
Clarion CD player is not functional and can be replaced at the
buyer's request. We find the Bluetooth speakers to be a much better
option and removable once you reach your destination. ok. A set of
235/85R16 Cooper Discoverer S/T Max tires wrap around a Mach 5
Black 5-Spoke 16' Wheels. The 300TDI diesel engine runs properly
and 5-Speed manual transmission shifts correctly through the gears.
We completed a complete review of the Defender and performed
maintenance as needed when it arrived in our shop. Here at Car
Cave, we regularly drive our inventory and clock an average several
hundred test miles on each Defender. Please contact us to review
the history file including the French technical inspection.
