Land Rover: Defender 90
for sale

Price: US 9.00

Description:

It is not very often that you come across totally genuine early Land Rover Defenders. By this age they have normally been updated and turned into clones of the more modern vehicles with 300tdi and later engines, new doors and by this age a new chassis. This one is none of those. It is a totally original. It has come from the Dutch military some years ago and has the original chassis stamp with the British Leyland logo at each end of the chassis number. Something you cannot get a copy stamp of!
This vehicle has had only two owners from 1986 to 2014.
So… it’s a D reg 1986/7 build date car with a UK registration certificate showing date of first registration in the UK as 10-6-1999 and so however you skin it its over 25 years old. The Land Rover Heritage Certificate shows it as a 1986/7 car and the build date reflects this. The chassis number also confirms this date.
It’s basically a project! The chassis is good but not good enough to galvanise in our professional opinion. It has had a rear crossmember in the last few years. If you wanted to save some money and liked welding it could easily be saved as most of it is good. With the cost of shipping chassis around the country/globe it may be worth it. The bulkhead also needs work but it is certainly good enough to have some repairs and then to go for galvanising. That’s what we would do to it. It has split top doors… not my favourite so I would fit one piece doors. The engine is a NA and is not the most powerful, however it is the best NA we have ever driven! We could happily fit something later but that’s up to you and the risk of damaging its originality. The rear door could be replaced with a swing away rear door not a drop down. Up to you what you want to do about originality.
The vehicle has just been through our workshop for a tidy up... we have fitted a new rear exhaust, rebuilt the steering box, serviced the engine and changed all gearbox and transfer box oils. We have fitted Defender front seating in denim twill and a centre cubby tray, removed the roof rack (although this can of course be refitted!), fitted new grills, lights and ignition barrel.
We think it would make the cutest soft top! This is an inexpensive conversion so do email us if this would interest you...
Best thing about this car is that it has a valid UK MOT and is left hand drive so it can be used on the road now. Buy it as a project for the spring or get us, as professionals, to make it into what you want it to be. We are happy either way. You won’t get better value for money workmanship and advice is free if you want to do it yourselves. Happy to make it into a kit for you and ship all the parts you need.
Have a good look at the photos and let us know if we can help with anything further you need to know about the vehicle. Updated photos to follow this coming week...
Feel free to ask us any questions and best method of contact is through the 'contact seller' option on eBay.
