This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 is #2,360 of approximately 2,800 North American-Specification examples imported into the US for the model year. The truck is finished in Arles Blue over Slate Gray vinyl and is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 linked with a four-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel-drive system with a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes ARB front and rear air lockers, Southdown skid plates, Old Man Emu dampers, a Warn winch, a Voyager roof basket, air conditioning, rear jump seats, and a Clarion CD stereo. Previously listed on BaT in September 2022, it was acquired by the selling dealer in March 2023, and it has 104k miles. This D90 NAS is now offered at no reserve in California with an owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
The aluminum body is finished in Arles Blue with a white roof, black wheel arch flares, and checker-plate trim on the hood, front fenders, and rear corners. Along with a factory roll cage, additional equipment includes a Warn winch, a Voyager roof basket, a rear ladder, mud flaps, and LED auxiliary lighting up front and out back. Window tint was applied to the safari windows in August 2022.
Five-spoke 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with 235/85 Toyo Open Country M/T tires, and a BFGoodrich spare is mounted at the rear. An Old Man Emu steering damper and shock absorbers were installed in March 2022. The truck has four-wheel disc brakes, and aftermarket brake calipers are noted over cross-drilled rotors.
