Leather Interior$14K in Recent Service and UpgradesCar Cave sourced
this Defender from the dry climate of Sicily. The Defender was sold
new in Italy on July 9, 1999, where it remained throughout its
life. We were impressed with the original paint, straight body, and
low mileage (driven only approximately 3,500 miles per year!). A
complete mechanical review was completed once it arrived at our
shop in Aiken, SC. The Td5 engine runs smoothly and has the perfect
balance of power and low-end torque. The D90 tracks well on the
road, the turbo spools as it should, and the transmission shifts
properly. This Defender is finished in Coniston Green with a
contrasting white roof, 5-spoke factory alloy wheels, and silver
chequer plate?a classic color combination with an iconic contrast
roof.What is the Td5, you ask? The Td5 was released by Land Rover
in 1998 to meet stricter emissions standards. It was a ground-up
redevelopment of Land Rover's diesel engine, code-named Project
Storm. The freshly redesigned 2.5L (2498 cc) inline 5-cylinder
Garrett turbocharged cast-iron diesel featured electronic
injection. Still not enough power? Car Cave offers a full range of
performance upgrades to make your Defender scream down the
road.This Defender arrived in great condition, and the original
paint still presents well. Since acquiring it, Car Cave
reupholstered all the seats and cubby box in custom perforated
brown saddle leather, installed black carpets with sound deadening,
and recovered the headliner. We also completed a full inspection
and maintenance?because, as we like to say, 'fresh off the boat'
Defenders always need a bit of mechanical love and reconditioning.
This D90 received extensive maintenance in addition to the upgraded
interior. There is a $600 tire allowance with the purchase of this
Defender, as the currently installed tires should be replaced. Work
performed includes a new battery, flasher switch, HD steering rods,
drop arm, greasing the front swivels, bleeding the clutch, cleaning
the blower control unit contacts, coolant expansion tank, steering
damper, alignment, and new front grille and headlamp finishers.
Contact us to review the complete work invoice.The 235/85R16 BFG
tires give the Defender the perfect stance on 16' 5-spoke alloy
wheels, and with the $600 tire allowance, we encourage you to
customize. Silver chequer plate is fitted on the wing tops and
rockers for protection and improved aesthetics. The front end has
been refreshed with a new grille, headlamp finishers, and halo LED
headlamps?an excellent upgrade for improved lighting over factory
units.The interior was completely stripped down, thoroughly
cleaned, and reupholstered. The front bucket seats, rear bench
seats, and center cubby box are now finished in saddle brown
leather with custom stitching and perforation. The headliner was
removed and recovered in gray, and the floors were fitted with
black bound-edge carpet for a refined look and better sound
insulation.Upgrades and Features:2.5L Td5 Turbo Diesel 5-Cylinder
