Overview of 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 For Sale by Owner

Land Rover’s classic Defender is widely recognized as one of the most capable and comprehensive off-road machines of modern times. But it’s a model with innovation and continuous improvement that stretches well into classic vehicle times. The first of the series was called, well, the Land Rover Series 1 and it was introduced in 1948. Series II and Series III followed over the decades, and the Defender name came in late 1990, in response to Land Rover switching to names after the Discovery. Today, we have a short wheelbase 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 from Maple Valley, Washington for sale. With a healthy 176,000 miles done so far, it’s got plenty more to give. Let’s discover more about why this vehicle deserves a spot in your life, especially if you love adventuring around the country in places where roads don’t exist.

Exterior and Interior

Showcasing its squarish dimensions and high-riding stance, this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 features a simple white paint job, punctuated by some interesting light blue accents. The vehicle rides tall on its 16-inch white-finished steel wheels and features a full-size spare wheel mounted at the rear. There are side steps to aid access and exit from the vehicle, while a roof rack adds more cargo capacity which is important if you’re planning on taking the vehicle into camping territory. A front brush guard with auxiliary lights is also present. The inside of this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 features three-abreast seating and a cargo divider. There’s a cabin heater for use on chilly days, but little else to distract or add complexity to what is a very utilitarian and simplistic off-roader that’s supposed to be easy to mend if it goes wrong when hundreds of miles from civilization.

Engine

The 2.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine that powers this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 is a stout unit, capable of delivering healthy torque all day. Aided by a five-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer case, this vehicle’s four-wheel drive system with center locking differential can take you wherever you wish to drive. In fact, its weakest link will typically be the driver. Front disc brakes are present as well, for enhanced stopping power.
