Overview of 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 For Sale by Owner

If you want a tough, go-anywhere, three-door, short-wheelbase off-roader, a Defender 90 is a great way to go about it. The Land Rover Defender has a heritage that dates back to 1948 and has gained a reputation as one of the best off-roaders in the world. While it was also offered in five-door 110 form and even as a pickup truck, the 90 is the weapon of choice for many. If you’ve been on the hunt for a Defender 90, you’ll know that finding a great one is not easy. So, let us make it a cinch for you by offering this one-owner 1997 Land Rover Defender to you. It’s a special edition called the County with some nice enhancements. Plus, we’ve got all the paperwork and history pertaining to the vehicle for you to inspect.

Exterior and Interior

This dark green 1997 Land Rover Defender comes to you with some useful upgrades on the exterior. For starters, there are LED headlamps, which are a great upgrade over the relatively weak stock units that Defenders came with when they were new. Augmenting these new headlamps is a bar fitted with Maxtel lights. Then, you’ll find an LED light bar as well. Meanwhile, the vehicle comes with black diamond plates all around, plus headlamp and rear window protectors. It rolls on a set of 16-inch steel wheels, wearing 265/70R16 ATR tires. You’ve also got a spare wheel carrier. The reportedly new interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender features leather seats and a Mud Ltd center console. These little comfort upgrades go a long way in making lengthy trips more pleasant. Apart from these, the interior is largely stock Defender, save for an aftermarket head unit from Pure, with a CD player, AUX input, and USB port. You might also notice that the vehicle is right-hand drive, but you’ll quickly get used to it.

Engine

This 1997 Land Rover Defender comes with the well-known 300Tdi engine, which is a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder diesel unit. It also includes an EGR system, and a CAT for enhanced efficiency and lower emissions. Power is sent to the wheels via a 5-speed R380 manual gearbox and a two-speed transfer case.
