Rugged. Classic. Iconic
This is a 1997 Defender 90 in the fun sized pickup truck configuration. It’s in the timeless and classic color of Land Rover Arles blue with an Ivory white roof and matching white steel wheels, which can only be described as simply a beautiful combination for an old classic Land Rover. It’s equipped with diesel power, right-hand drive and is a true to from British example. A perfect cruiser with all the character and charm you need for the ultimate driving experience. It’s a perfect little “Tonka” pick-up truck, a baby rhino of a Defender. The 300Tdi 2.5-liter 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine in this Defender has 112k miles and runs and drives superbly well. For reliability in the harshest conditions, there's simply nothing that can beat the 300Tdi engine, with its turbocharged direct injection (Tdi) technology paired with the robust R380 5-speed manual gearbox, it provides improved economy with even greater power, torque, longevity, and reliability.
Inside the cab it features three individual seats across in grey vinyl, retro gear knobs, a sturdy headliner and an elegant Mountney wood rim 3-spoke steering wheel for some vintage style. The rear I-for Williams Canopies are strong, tough, built to last and are a great edition to a D90 pickup vehicle to offer additional flexibility, they can also be removed with ease. All lights, heater, wipers, and radio work, as they should. The chassis, bulkhead and doorframes show in very good condition. The engine runs strong and very well, with all new brake pads and rotors, gives you the confidence to drive even better on the road or trails. Equipped with power steering and disc brakes all round reminds you that go-anywhere also means being easy to drive and more importantly enjoyable when you're behind the wheel. It has all the right upgrades to get you out there on an adventure, to enjoy on the trails, mountain roads, sandy beaches or just around town. This Defender 90 will be hard to disappoint, especially for a buyer looking for a “Life’s too Short to Drive a Boring Car".
