1999 | Land Rover Defender 90

Land Rover remains royalty in the vintage 4x4 segment. The Rover Company's storied aluminum-bodied workhorse—built from the late 40s on, underwent many iterations. Three "Series" Land Rovers cemented the classic truck's shape in popular memory, and by the 1980s incorporated four-corner coil spring suspension as the "90" and "110".

.

Named for the length of its wheelbase, the Defender 90 proved an especially versatile companion. Light on its feet in short wheelbase configuration, the truck’s go-anywhere credentials built an enduring legacy. Desirable factory equipment included a five-speed manual transmission, locking center differential, and available turbodiesel motivation. Copied, restored, and reimagined by many, the Defender 90 remains a benchmark in rugged durability.

This 1999 Land Rover Defender 90 presents fully restored and handcrafted for ultimate capability. Re-finished in Clay Gray with a Black canvas top, a fully rebuilt Td5 powertrain complements this truck’s Solihull heritage. Inside, air conditioning, Sony audio w/CarPlay, and diamond-stitched leather seating fill out modernized comforts over any distance. This Rover’s yachting style gauges shows an odometer reading of just 400mi driven since restoration. Lifted OME suspension sits over Black 16" Spectre wheels plus a matching full-size spare wrapped in 35” Maxxis Trepador tires. Exterior modifications further extend to widened bodywork, front/rear LED lighting, custom side steps, bumpers, swing-out spare tire carrier, and more.
