The title for automotive icons is usually reserved for vehicles that can break performance and speed records. Still, the moment you take matters off the smooth tarmac and into the beaten path, very few cars match up to the iconic status of the Land Rover Defender. Built to power through anything, the Defender comes from a family of off-road loyalty, with every generation worthy of being called an automotive icon, much like this tasteful 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Restomod we have today.
Exterior and Interior
The Defender styling is one that stood the test of time and is still loved by enthusiasts worldwide. This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Restomod sports a short wheelbase and looks better off-roading than the long wheelbase "110". The exterior of this off-road legend is finished in dark purple, a unique color compared to the usual green or lighter shades of colors seen typically. The dark purple exterior also sees black accents in the shape of fender flares and Land Rover wheels wrapped with Michelin off-road tires; you also get the spare wheel mounted at the rear of the vehicle for a more off-road aesthetic. While the exterior sees darker shades of color being used, the interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Restomod is finished in white. The white leather seats offer comfort at the front and practicality at the rear, with the bench seats freeing up space for more passengers. This being a restomod means you get a custom center console with cup holders, a custom dashboard that houses a cross-stitched steering wheel, and a gearbox boot cover to match.
Engine
The smoothness of a petrol powertrain is excellent, but when you are out and about, you need the torque and power a diesel powertrain has to offer. Pop open the hood of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Restomod, and you will find a Land Rover turbocharged diesel powertrain adapted to brave the rough and tough conditions the great outdoors brings. Power is sent to all four wheels of the vehicle through a manual transmission.
