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.
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.
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.
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.
