When we hear the name Land Rover Defender, what comes to mind is a brute force that leaps its way over every obstacle that comes it's way. With its sturdy, boxy frame and dependable 4x4 capabilities, the Defender is a master of rough terrain. Its history is as rich and diverse as the landscapes it has conquered. From its origins as a military transport vehicle to its current status as a highly sought-after collector's item, the Defender has stood the test of time and proven itself to be a true icon of the automotive world. So for those seeking an SUV that embodies it all, look no further than this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 equipped with a 300 TDI engine, which was imported from Germany in December 2022. Because of this, it is left-hand-drive, and all customs paperwork and documentation regarding the import are reportedly available.
The current owner has given this classic 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 a whole new lease on life with a range of upgrades. Its spunky blue exterior had its front and rear lights replaced, a new bumper with daytime running lights installed, and a new grill and headlight surrounds fitted, perfectly balancing practicality with style. The new frame provides a sturdy foundation, while the new soft-top and front windshield, complete with a new rubber surround, add more cover. It sits on new wheels and tires, and the rear-mounted wheel carrier, replaced indicator stalk, and headlight switch confirms the owner's commitment to ensuring that this SUV is in tip-top shape. The inviting cabin of this Defender 90 flaunts a beautiful tan interior, which is claimed to be newly upholstered. The new gear knob and wooden steering wheel perfectly complement the vehicle's classic aesthetic. This Defender 90 now boasts extra seats and seat belts in the rear, thanks to its owners' upgrades.
Providing a robust and steady stream of power to this iconic 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 is a 300 TDI 4-cylinder engine. It is coupled with a manual transmission that truly allows the driver to engage with the vehicle. A new cross member on the back of the chassis, replacement of the exhaust, shock absorbers in the rear, and rubbers from the suspension put this Defender in excellent mechanical condition. Further, a new master brake pump offers increased stopping power, while an engine service ensures dependable performance for many miles to come.
