Defender 90 Assessment

Finished in a Land Rover Epson Green with an Alpine White roof, which can only be described as simply a beautiful and classic combination. All the engine and running gears work, as they should. I just love the character and charm of it being right hand drive. All drivingcomponents are the same as a US vehicle configuration, gas pedal; clutch, brakes and gear stick are the sameexcept you are just in a right hand side drivingposition. Takes ten minutes to get use to, and then it's a joy to drive and creates waves and attention wherever it goes.A true original Defender!As with any older vehicle, please expect flaws and imperfections that come with age and mileage. It still has a current MOT (British road safety test); every vehicle in the UK must pass a MOT each year (not required for the USA but completed regardless). Which ultimately shows you have a roadworthy, safe and competent vehicle that is road legal to drive.

This Land Rover is in a good running and driving condition. The Defender starts easily and runs smoothly with every turn of the key. It has a 5-speed manual transmission, which transmits the power through a two-speed (hi and low) transfer box with a locking center differential with permanent 4-wheel drive. It does have modern conveniences such as disc brakes and power steering. The vehicle's road manners are what you would expect from an old Land Rover. The suspension feels tight and well sorted, steering and braking perform to satisfaction, as they should. The engine keeps perfect temperature and excellent oil pressure at all times. The heater, blower fan, horn, turn signals, windshield washer, lights, high beams, and gauges.....everything works as it should. Overall this Land Rover is in great mechanical condition and operates exactly as it should and is ready for its next adventure!

The interior of this Defender is in great original condition for its age and mileage. The cloth seats are clean and show well throughout the interior. Comes complete with two original front seats with a middle cubby box and four individual rear seats, making it a six-seater vehicle. Has the added luxury of a working radio/CD/Aux player. Comes complete with original tool bag and high-lift jack secured behind the front seats.

This Land Rover Defender may not get you anywhere fast, but it will sure get you there in style!

EngineThis Defender is factory fitted with a matching VIN 2.5lt Turbo Diesel that starts up every time. It feels firm and sounds solid. Low end torque is impressive. This 2.5 Turbo Diesel engine has covered 105k original miles - which is very low considering its age. Time has shown these Defenders are unbreakable if they are maintained and driven properly over the years.
Service & Maintenance HistoryThis Defender is in a good ready to use, ready to drive condition. It has undergone a complete detail of the exterior and interior, as well as a deep clean of the undercarriage.Just serviced andchecked and topped off all fluids. Prior regular documented services and maintenance history including new clutch and differential oil pan replaced around 9k miles ago. Complete with a folder of service history and original invoices, receipts, registration, and paperwork.
Body & ExteriorThe Defender is much loved for its rugged construction and all around basic simplicity. The body of this Defender is in good condition considering its age. It is finished in Land Rover Epson Green with color-coded wheel arches. Overall the bodywork is in good condition for a 25+ old Land Rover; it does show some paint bubble on some edges (see photos). Comes with a rear tow hitch and the electrical connector. Underneath has been previously waxoyled for protection, could benefit from another coat as it is flaking of. This Defender has a great stance sitting nicely on factory 16" Land Rover Alloy wheels with a full size spare wheel mounted on the rear door. A removal hardtop that can be arranged as an open top/truck bed or to fit to whatever configuration you prefer.
InteriorThe interior is gray cloth that is in a very tidy and clean condition with no rips or tears. It features two original cloth seats up front with a middle storage box, with four foldable individual seats in the rear, making it a six-seat vehicle. The interior of this vehicle is very standard and basic, but clean and well looked after. Simplistic dash with original dials and the speedometer is in MPH. Complete with radio/CD/Aux player.
Brakes & Running GearAll the brakes and running gear work properly, the disc brakes and parking brake hold the vehicle as it is meant to. Equipped with powered-assisted steering, which really makes it fun and a pleasure to drive for an old Land Rover. Clutch operates correctly and the original gearbox shifts, as it should. All-wheel drive with high and low ranges all work correctly. A true, go anywhere, all terrainvehicle!
