For sale is a 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 Turbo Diesel. This is my personal truck and I imported this Defender myself from Italy. I am from Europe originally and I know how important it is to bring one of these trucks in from a dry area. This one has zero (and I mean ZERO) rust anywhere. It was and is a dream vehicle for me, they are used by lots of country’s military throughout the world and also by farmers and explorers too. Reason being they are absolutely unbeatable off road. They will literally go anywhere you point them at, be it a jungle, a desert or a street in leafy Pasadena.
I did a lot of maintenance on this truck when it came in, even to the point of installing a reconditioned engine and ancillaries. Recent maintenance includes a new diesel injection pump and other various parts. There is a huge folder of receipts that goes with the truck. It even has a Land Rover Heritage Certificate. Comes with a clean Montana Permanent Title and Registration. You can title and register these trucks in California but it’s not cheap I believe. I do have the info for some of the guys that do it.
Starts, runs and dives like a Defender should. Bulletproof but slow! You’ll look the best at cars and coffee, though. The truck is a conversation starter wherever you go.
Has a low 167k (kilometers) which is a little over 100k miles. Has an Alpine stereo with Bluetooth, 5 speed manual transmission, rear jump seats with seat belts (you can carry 4 people in the back and 3 in the front for a total of 7), fire extinguisher, rear step, and on and on.
I’ve seen junky rusty Defenders go for ridiculous amounts, but I’m asking a very reasonable $39k. You will not find a better Land Rover 90 Defender anywhere for that amount.
The VIN is SALLDVAB8EA320936 - eBay does not recognize the VIN as it is a European specification vehicle.
