This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 is #1,812 of approximately 2,800 North American-specification examples built for the 1997 model year and was acquired by the seller in 2012. The truck has been refinished in yellow over a black interior, and power is provided by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a locking center differential, a roll cage, a black soft top, a bull bar, fog lights, 16″ Boost wheels, bolstered front seats, and an aftermarket stereo. Approximately 20k of the 86k indicated miles were added during current ownership, and an oil change and tune-up were performed in 2020.
Originally finished in green, the truck was repainted in its current shade of yellow by Miami Chassis following rust repair approximately five years ago. Features include a black soft top, an internal/external roll cage, black wheel arch flares, side steps, tail light guards, a front bull bar, fog lamps, LED lighting, and diamond plate trim on the rocker panels, rear quarter panels, and front fenders. The Carfax report shows an accident that resulted in damage to the front end in February 2014, along with a sideswipe collision and damage to the right front of the vehicle in 2018.
A set of 16″ Boost alloy wheels are wrapped in 265/75 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires showing 2018 production codes. The truck is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes with cross-drilled and slotted rotors.
Replacement bolstered seats are trimmed in black leather with quilted inserts and are complemented by a matching dashboard and inward-facing cloth rear jump seats. Amenities include air conditioning and a Pioneer CD stereo linked with a CD changer in the center console and a MBQuart subwoofer mounted in the rear door.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer. The digital odometer indicates 86k miles.
The fuel-injected 4.0-liter V8 was factory rated at 182 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. The seller notes an oil change and tune-up were performed last year and the exhaust pipe, fuel filter, and drive belts were replaced in April 2017.
Power is delivered to all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case with a locking center differential.
