1997 Land
Rover Defender 90 NAS (North American Spec), number 1632 of approximately 2,000
imported for the North American market. An all-original example showing only 27K
documented miles. Finished in Rare Monza Red over black interior upholstery.
Powered by its V8, mated to a factory automatic transmission. Equipped with
factory A/C, blowing icy cold. Included is a bikini top, original soft top and
new black soft top. A true time capsule as clean underneath as it is up top,
properly maintained, and clean history.
Considered
the last real Land Rovers by many, the Defender 90 remains in fierce demand
with its iconic looks, aluminum body, short wheelbase, solid-axle drivetrain,
and amazing go-anywhere capability. Fewer than 7,000 were imported into the US,
and the final 1997 models are considered the best with their upgraded 4.0-liter
V-8 and electronic ZF four-speed automatic transmission.
This was the Utah Land Rover dealers iconic show
car for years, acquired 11 years ago by my friend. It’s not seen a dirt road nor rain in 11
years and is a collector’s dream! NO
RUST! Having owned 5 of these over the
years, that’s nearly impossible to find, hence why I bought it from him. I’ve run out of garage space (again), so this
Defender needs to find a new home.
