1997 Defender 90 - "Huey" - 300Tdi
This stunning Defender 90 in classic Grasmere Green with an Alaska White roof is a tribute to the original Series I “HUE 166.” Powered by the reliable 300Tdi turbo diesel engine and paired with a rugged R380 5-speed manual transmission, it delivers a responsive and engaging drive. The exterior features Heritage Edition-inspired details like a silver front bumper with black end caps, foldable side steps, clear LED lighting, and classic unpainted rivets.

All original controls and systems—heater, lights, wipers, and gauges—are fully functional, delivering an authentic right-hand drive British experience. With 119k miles, this Defender was recently driven over 600 miles to the 2025 Lowcountry Land Rover event in Charleston, SC, proving its reliability and comfort at highway speeds and on winding back roads.
