This 1988 Land Rover 90 is a left-hand drive example that was refurbished by Coolnvintage of Lisbon, Portugal, where it was fitted with a 2.5-liter 300Tdi turbodiesel inline-four. Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and a replacement dual-range transfer case, and the truck is finished in green over brown leather upholstery. Equipment includes body-colored 16″ steel wheels, front disc brakes, a galvanized front bumper, and a tan soft top with clear vinyl windows as well as two front bucket seats, two inward-facing rear bench seats, air conditioning, and an aftermarket stereo system. This Land Rover 90 is now offered on dealer consignment in California with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
The truck features aluminum body panels that have been refinished in green as well as a silver-finished grille and a galvanized front bumper and trim. Additional exterior details include a tan soft top with clear vinyl windows in addition to two half-doors, a swing-out tailgate, cowl vents, aftermarket headlights, LED indicator lights, and dual side mirrors with color-keyed caps.
Body-color 16″ steel wheels are mounted with 235/85 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires. A matching spare is mounted to a swing-out carrier at the rear. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
The two front bucket seats have been reupholstered in brown leather that extends to the center console, dashboard, and door panels. The cabin is further appointed with color-coordinated carpeted floor mats, air conditioning, metal shift knobs, and a sound system comprised of a vintage-look head unit, a Marshall-branded center speaker, and two additional speakers mounted to the lower dashboard.
The leather-wrapped two-spoke steering wheel features a debossed Coolnvintage logo and fronts a 120-mph speedometer, gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, and an array of indicator lights. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 1,800 miles. True mileage is unknown.
The rear of the truck has been outfitted with carpeting and two inward-facing bench seats upholstered in matching brown leather.
The 2.5-liter 300Tdi turbodiesel inline-four was installed as part of the build.
Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and an R380 dual-range transfer case.
