With the arrival of the latest generation Defender, so did a massive debate. Some appreciated the new Defender and its technology, but most fans were quick to say that the true essence of what made this vehicle legendary had died. As we all know, the defender, including this early edition 1991 model, is iconic for its ruggedness, but the Defender 90, being the two-door version with a shorter wheelbase, is specially designed to offer excellent off-road capabilities. If you want to own an iconic piece of British automobile history, this 1991 Defender 90 is for you.
The Defender 90's body was made of lightweight aluminum and featured a removable hardtop, making it ideal for outdoor adventures. This specific model comes with a removable soft top similar to the color of its olive-green exterior paint. It also features a pair of Fire and Ice side steps, Channel Defender doors, black intake vents, an LED light kit, a locking fuel cap, and a front bumper hosting a SMITTYBILT XRC performance winch. The vehicle sits on powder-coated white wheels wrapped in off-road tires. The 1991 Land Rover Defender 90's interior was designed with a utilitarian focus, reflecting its rugged nature and off-road capabilities. The Defender 90 had a simple and functional interior layout, but this example got some upgrades. With aluminum dash vents, an LT77 aluminum shift knob set, a VDO instrument cluster inclusive of add-ons, a black lock cubby for the center, and a touch screen Sony infotainment system that connects to alpine speakers, one would say that this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 is perfectly suited to modern-day requirements.
While the 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 came originally with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, the current owner decided that this example would do better with a little extra power and swapped the original motor with a 4.0L V6 engine with just around 1,800 miles on it.
The Land Rover Defender is an off-road champion with a fine legacy that dates back to 1948 and the Land Rover Series. It’s rare that you find a model that’s endured for decades without much change in terms of exterior appearance, albeit with hundreds of refinements under the skin, and within the interior. That’s what the Defender – the classic one, that is – is all about. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is a fine example of that statement, and you can get it from Sturbridge, Massachusetts if you wish. With just over 10,000 miles on the clock, this off-road beast packs the formidable 300Tdi powertrain, a manual transmission and a custom interior with air con and Bluetooth!
A short wheelbase classic four-by-four like this 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 is the perfect weekend toy for the adventurous ones who don’t have large families to carry along. The Land Rover Defender – the classic one, that is, draws upon decades of history and continuous improvement, dating way back to 1948. In fact, the design of the vehicle has largely remained throughout the decades, even when the Defender name came in the Nineties. Today’s 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 is a bit special because its got an Alliesport UK 300Tdi VGT uprated turbocharger, a reupholstered leather interior and many more nice goodies to enjoy.
This Land Rover Defender 90 is powered by the legendary 300Tdi 2.5L turbo diesel inline-four, a globally respected engine known for its durability, simplicity, and long service life. Showing over 102,000 miles, this example has benefited from extensive mechanical and structural investment that significantly enhances both longevity and drivability. Highlights include a fully replaced chassis, rebuilt front and rear axles, and a rebuilt mechanical injection pump. Finished in black over a black interior and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and LT230 permanent 4WD transfer case with a locking center differential, this Defender represents a well-sorted example that blends originality, capability, and meaningful restoration work.
