This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 spent time in Spain prior to importation to the US in August 2021. Work performed prior to importation included refinishing the exterior in white, reupholstering the seats with black vinyl, and replacement of the timing belt tensioner, vacuum pump, crankshaft pulley, and various suspension components. It is powered by a 2.5-liter 300Tdi inline-four mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and features consist of a locking center differential, a roof rack, a brush bar, 16″ alloy wheels, and rear jump seats.
The exterior consists of aluminum body panels that were disassembled and refinished in white in February 2020 according to the seller. A full-length steel roof rack was also fitted at the time, and additional features include a brush bar, alpine windows, sliding lower side windows, mud flaps at each corner, and a trailer hitch.
Five-spoke 16″ Defender-branded alloy wheels are mounted with 205/80 Maxxis Trepador tires installed in February 2020, and a steel wheel mounted with a Michelin tire is affixed to the swing-out rear tailgate. The suspension system was overhauled during the refurbishment with replacement of various components, including the shock absorbers, springs, ball joints, and steering stabilizer.
The interior features seats reupholstered in black vinyl, and they are equipped with adjustable headrests and mounted to rebuilt frames and brackets. Matching carpeting and a gray dashboard and door panels further accent the interior, and additional equipment consists of three-point seat belts, inward-facing rear seats, and flip-up dashboard vents.
