1994 DEFENDER 90 - "Raptor" - 300Tdi

This is one brute of an adventure ready Defender 90 with a 300tdi diesel engine and R380 5-speed gearbox. It’s a right-hand drive, true to from British example. A perfect cruiser with all the character and charm you need for the ultimate driving experience. Nicely finished in Land Rover Caledonian Blue with a full external roll cage, modular steel wheels and a bulletproof diesel power plant under the hood. This beast is ready to be enjoyed regardless of whether you take it on the streets or get it dirty on the trails. Distinct, intimidating, and genuinely rugged, this Land Rover Defender 90 is the ideal 4x4 to take you on adventure, but it’s also such a looker, that we know you'll enjoy it around town too. The chassis (frame), bulkhead and door bottom are in good condition. It was fully rebuilt on a Marshland galvanized chassis, which was completed 

approximately 9 years ago, the chassis was then primed and painted chassis black and then internally wax oiled. It was previously owned for the last 10yrs by a true Land Rover enthusiast, who made sure it’s had no expense spared, keeping up with regularly maintenance and service. It's an adventure ready Defender! Ready for anything, daily driver, mud crawler, 4x4 off-roading or garage queen. Get it into the rough and tough stuff off road and this Defender really comes into its own. The purpose built 2" lifted suspension is well controlled and comfortable but when combined with the meaty BFG A/T tires it gives astonishing capability in all terrain. With the Defender's AWD system, rock/tree sliders, bull bar, snorkel and with the additional ground clearance, it will get you over or through anything you can't drive around or submerge into! It's a serious, no nonsense and purpose built D90. Mechanically sound and set up for adventure, all the important (and expensive) upgrades and accessories have already been heavily invested into this machine. It merely needs a new owner who is ready to get behind the wheel to enjoy this Defender.


Another great reason to have a Land Rover built for a foreign country is under the hood. As the US was never blessed with the diesel-powered Land Rovers and we all know diesel provides the best torque to get you through or over anything. It's equipped with the sought after and legendary 300TDi engine with a five-speed manual transmission. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine in this Defender has just 124k miles and runs superbly well. Regarded by many in the Land Rover world as their best ever engine produced, and it has earned a tough-as-nails reputation. For reliability in the harshest conditions, there's simply nothing that can beat the 300Tdi engine. Paired with the R380 5-speed manual transmission it moves through the gears well and it has no problem running through traffic or cruising at highway speeds. Shift action is light, the clutch take-up is clean and with power steering and disc brakes, it feels quite competent on or off the road. No other 4x4 vehicle has the pedigree and track record like a Land Rover, a Rover of the Land. Not only was it one of the first, but it also remains the world's benchmark off-road vehicle, exhilarating to drive, highly reliable, and simplicity to maintain. It provides high performance on-road with the capability to tackle the worst off-road conditions, in nearly every driving environment the world can offer. 


Inside it’s as simple as you'd expect with very tidy Exmoor Trim modular Techno cloth twin seats up front and two rear individual jump seats in the rear. The control levers manage the 5-speed manual transmission and 2-speed transfer case/hi-low range and there's a center cubby box between the seats with cup holders. The cargo bay offers enough room for storage with a checker plate lock box for extra equipment and room for passengers. All lights, heater, wipers and gauges work, as they should. It sits on Land Rover modular steel wheels wrapped with BFG A/T tires which offer an aggressive style and heavy-duty capability. Equiped with power steering and disc brakes all round reminds you that go-anywhere also means being easy to drive and more importantly enjoyable. It’s safari and adventure ready with a full external roll cage, tubular front bumper, front mounted LED light bar for function and extra night vision. This is a legendary 4x4 that has both style and substance. So, if you want to go everywhere and look great doing it, this is the Defender to have.
