Overview of 1989 Land Rover Defender 130 Test For Sale by Owner

In today's world of uncertainty, "Doomsday" style vehicles are steadily on the rise. The Land Rover Defender takes the lead as one the most desired off-road capable vehicles around the globe. No 4x4 vehicle is complete in the United States without some firepower. However, this 1989 Land Rover Defender D130 skyrockets past the rest with it's eccentric appearance. The .50 Caliber M2HB Rifle mounted to the roof (Yes, it is fully operational) is just one of the many modifications that make this SUV the the best on the market. For legal reasons the seller will sell the .50 cal rifle separately.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of the vehicle is thoughtfully colored in a mix of neutral "Mil Spec" paint blends that lets the vehicle camouflage itself with it's outside surroundings. The custom designed roll cage, along with the half doors on the vehicle allow for users to have full visibility of the surrounding areas as they drive. Being that this is a fully street legal vehicle, it can be enjoyed in the desert during the morning and a downtown city street at night. The upgraded LED lights allow great visibility at all times of the night, and are accompanied by a massive WARN winch to pull you out of any sticky situations. The elephant in the room when looking at this vehicle is the Browning .50 cal M2HB semi-automatic rifle mounted to the roof. If you want to have fun in the wilderness, this goliath is matted to a 55 gallon auxiliary feeder tank, to assure that the festivities last as long as you desire. The interior also allows for much more storage if you decide to use the specially design seat covers that allow users to attach multiple objects to them.

Engine

The motor powering this truck is the famous 300tdi 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine. A powerful and very reliable power plant that has proven itself many times throughout the years gives plenty of torque to get through whatever obstacles you may contact. There are many modifications assisting in the performance of this truck including an Allisport XL radiator and intercooler to maintain cool temperatures in even the worst climates. No road, or surface will be an issue with the upgraded Long travel suspension with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks. The most thoughtful upgrade on the entire vehicle is the 75 gallon fuel tank, allowing maximum use of the trucks capabilities .

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 SE Trophy Edition

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

When Land Rover axed their epic Defender in 2016, there was plenty of anger from the automotive community. After all, the original Defender was one of the few proper off-roaders that stayed true to relatively simplistic, tough, and pre-digital roots. It was a vehicle that one could buy and instantly feel the heritage and decades of engineering that went into it. Land Rover knew this, so they introduced the New Defender, or L663 era just four years later. Building on the original Defender’s capabilities and go-anywhere ethos, Land Rover thoroughly modernized it and gave it performance that the original could only dream of. Also, they continued to offer it in 90,110 and 130 forms. Today’s 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 SE comes from Boca Raton, Florida, and comes with only 11,771 miles to its name. So, it’s a fantastic four-by-four for an outdoorsy family with plenty of gear to carry around.
