Overview of 1989 Land Rover Defender 90 90 Cabriolet For Sale by Owner

For many inhabitants of planet Earth, the humble Land Rover is one of the first forms of motorized transport they witnessed. The Series Land Rovers of old were well known for their go-anywhere abilities and were used extensively to explore lesser-traveled terrains. The Defender is a direct decendent from these original creations, and shares the rugged abilities that those cars were known for. Even today, the Land Rover Defender is employed by those who need a no-nonsense off-roader. While the United States only received a handful of Land Rover Defenders, now that the model has passed the 25-year age limited, they’re becoming a popular choice for those looking for something a little different, yet with a proven track record. Our featured 1989 Land Rover Defender 90 Cabriolet has been imported from Italy and has undergone an extensive restoration to ensure it’s ready for the rigors of regular service. Featuring many new parts, this drop-top off-roader could be yours.

Exterior and Interior

The Land Rover Defender came in multiple body configurations, with the 90 series offering the shortest wheelbase. Couple that with this car's black removable soft top, and you have a fun British alternative to the two-door Jeep Wrangler. Our featured car is reported to have been restored by Defender Motorsport and features a new paint job in Bonatti Grey. It also sports a new front bumper, a custom SVX fitted grille, and the hood from a later model “Puma.” Extra protection and style are injected thanks to the diamond plates, including one for the rear bumper, while ingress and egress are assisted by the addition of a step side bar. Meanwhile, a Mantec snorkel improves the looks and adds to this Defender’s wading abilities. Finally, new LED lights are yet another functional upgrade. Inside, you’ll find black leather upholstery, custom front sports seats, and new rear seats. A new stereo system with new speakers and amplifier has been installed, as well as a 13-inch steering wheel.

Engine

The owner reports that a new 2.5-liter TD5 turbocharged diesel engine and a new R380 five-speed manual transmission have been installed under the hood. The Defender features permanent four-wheel drive, a low-range gearbox, and a center differential lock. Our featured 1989 Land Rover Defender 90 Cabriolet has recently undergone maintenance of consumables, including new filters, brake pads, bushings, and a clutch kit.
