Td5 Turbo DieselCustom 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
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. It is finished
in Coniston Green with a contrasting white roof, 5-spoke factory
alloy wheels, and silver chequer plate?a classic Defender 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 included 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 exterior is finished in factory Coniston
Green with a contrasting white roof, both still wearing original
paint. The 235/85R16 BFG tires give the Defender the perfect stance
on 16' 5-spoke alloy wheels. 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
