1996 Land Rover Defender 90

KEY FACTS A highly capable and reportedly extensively refurbished modern classic Land Rover Defender 90, upgraded with a professionally installed automatic transmission conversion. It is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged diesel inline-four, driving all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. First registered in December 1996, this example was only recently acquired by the seller. The seller states that it benefited from a significant refurbishment carried out during 2019/20 by renowned Land Rover specialist Simmonites of Bradford, including an engine rebuild, a galvanised bulkhead, an automatic transmission conversion, a full repaint, an interior refurbishment, and suspension work. The odometer indicates 2,501 miles since completion of the refurbishment in 2019/20. Before the restoration work, the vehicle had reportedly covered an indicated 50,496 miles, which the seller believes to be the genuine total. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Defender has been professionally converted from its original manual gearbox to a three-speed automatic transmission. This example is finished in an appealing shade of green, over a black part leather and grey cloth-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 16-inch ‘Sawtooth’ alloy wheels fitted with Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tyres. Equipment includes a heated rear screen, a high and low range gearbox, electric front windows, heated front seats, and fold-down inward-facing rear seats. This example has been fitted with Heritage-style front and rear Land Rover badges, side steps, a NAS-style rear step, KBX Hi-Force front wing vents, and a Sony CD stereo. The sale will include the original part-stamped service booklet, some handwritten maintenance invoices, the V5C, and two ignition keys.
