Background Story of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90

Overview of 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 For Sale by Owner

A classic Land Rover Defender is the perfect way to enjoy a weekend of exploring. Derived from the tough and capable Land Rover Series, the original Defender name came around in the 1990s, and ran until 2016. It was available in multiple forms and wheelbases, but there’s nothing quite like a short-wheelbase or 90 variant. That’s what we have here with this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 from San Diego, California. Built by Dirigo Garage, it’s a fine machine that belies its over 102,000-mile odometer reading. It’s ready for action and could be yours if you wish – just get in touch with us.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a shiny black suit, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 stands tall on raised suspension and Toyo Open Country A/T Plus tires. These are wrapped around black alloy wheels that proudly display the vehicle’s all-round disc brakes. Then, we see that the lighting has been upgraded to LED units all round, including the headlamps. This is important because it enables you to cut through the darkness with confidence, especially when you’re out and about in the rough stuff. And with its shorter wheelbase and equally truncated overhangs, you’ll definitely be able to go places in this mean machine. The black interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has been largely retained in stock form, which gives it a very classic aura. Unlike some import Defenders, this one is a leftie so the steering wheel is on the correct side of the car for North American driving. There’s a wood-rimmed steering wheel for a touch of sportiness, but everything else has been kept as standard as possible.

Engine

This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 comes with the 300Tdi powertrain. That means a 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel-fed four-cylinder unit does duty under the hood. Rated at 111hp and 189lb-ft, it’s a stout and dependable thing. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. There’s also a two-speed transfer case, offering high and low range driving with a permanent four-wheel drive system in situ. You’ve also got a diff lock for assistance in sticky situations.

2000 Land Rover Defender 90

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$49,950
SOLD

The Land Rover Defender is one of the strangest cars in the automotive world, at least the older models are. They aren’t the most enjoyable to drive or the most comfortable carrier for passengers. Yet they are absolutely adored all around the world for their undeniable British character. The Defender is as British as warm beer, good tea, and bad teeth. Not to mention, they are mighty good off-roaders as well. What you’ll often find in the market or on roads is the Defender 110, rendering the short-wheelbase Defender 90 quite rare to come by. This 2000 Land Rover Defender 90 found its way to our inventory from St. Cloud, Florida. Having driven over 119000, this example remains well-maintained and boasts a re-upholstered interior.

1990 Land Rover Defender 90 300Tdi

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$44,999
SOLD

Land Rover’s Defender is one of those all-time greats in off-roading nameplates. Derived from 1948’s Land Rover Series I, the Defender name came around 1990, and by then, it had evolved massively from the Series, despite a very similar exterior outlook. Furthermore, while the 110 is the most common type to find these days, there’s a certain sort of charm about the short wheelbase, two-door 90. This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 definitely portrays that charm, with its extensive do-over that includes a repaint to factory spec and an aftermarket exhaust. The vehicle is currently up for sale in Florida having driven over 152,000 miles, but that’s nothing for a well-maintained Defender like this one. We’re told that the vehicle packs a replaced engine with just 3,500 miles on it, and that engine was refreshed before being swapped in. A recent alignment and tire balancing has also reportedly been carried out on this relatively modern classic four-by-four.

1997 Land Rover Defender 110

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$199,000

The definitive old-school off-roader for many folks, Land Rover’s Defender (the OG one, not the New Defender of 2019) remains the default choice. With a rich history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the Defender name came about in late 1990, after decades of incremental improvement and countless updates. That’s why we’re sure this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 won’t have any trouble finding a new home. Currently stabled in Roswell, Georgia, it’s got 96,000 miles on the clock, is a Heritage Trust Certified example that’s been fully restored, and even comes in numbers-matching status! Plus it’s got some modern upgrades here and there, we’re told. You’ll also be very glad to see that it’s left-hand drive, making it easier to handle on our roads than some of the direct British imports that come with the steering wheel on the right-hand side!

2021 Ram 1500 TRX Behemoth 426

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$144,999

The RAM 1500 is part of the RAM Pickup line of full-size and heavy duty pickup trucks. Originally a marque of Dodge, when it was known as the Dodge RAM, it became a separate brand in 2010. In 2019, the DT or fifth generation was introduced to the world, and with it came a super-truck variant called the RAM 1500 TRX. Its truly a madcap thing with a supercharged V8 that is factory rated at 702hp and 661lb-ft. But would you believe it, for some, even that isn’t enough. Enter this 2021 RAM 1500 TRX Crew Cab that’s up for sale in Boynton Beach, Florida having covered just 36,371 miles so far. Its original 6.2-liter V8 has been lifted out, and replaced with an HHP Racing 426ci (7.0L) BOHEMI long block stroker V8! Then, it’s been fitted with a Stage 2 Whipple Gen 5 supercharger that itself displaces 3.0-liters. That, the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group, the Customer Preferred Package 29Y and more goodies make this one heck of a way to cross diverse terrain types at speed, or create a spectacle at the drag strip.

2024 GMC Sierra 2500 AT4

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$89,990

The GMC Sierra is the sister model of the Chevrolet Silverado, and it has been this way for several years now. But, the Sierra isn’t simply a badge-swap exercise. No, it’s sits a little higher than its Chevy sibling, thanks to offering more luxury interior appointments and better refinement. But, it retains the same purposeful ability to carry loads, tow trailers and even venture off-road if needed. So, if that sounds appealing, check out this 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Crew Cab that’s for sale in Marina, California. This 12,536-mile truck has got a Duramax diesel under the hood, four-wheel drive and some tasteful modifications too.

2019 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$74,999

The Ford F-Series is one of the longest-running pickup truck series in North America, dating back to 1948 and currently in the fourteenth generation. But did you know that legendary tuner and racer Carroll Shelby turned his attention to it as well? Yes, the hallowed Shelby name didn’t only adorn Mustangs, but other models like the F-150 too. Case in point, this thirteenth generation 2019 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. With its powerful supercharged V8 under the hood, four-wheel drive system for sure-footed grip anywhere, and low 34,000 miles on the odometer, this is the ideal ticket for someone who wants a muscle truck that can carry the entire family, go anywhere, lug loads, and most importantly, show you a good time behind the wheel.
