  Lot 96
 

1989 Land Rover Defender 90

Registration - G868 FNY

Chassis No. - SALLDVAB7FA397508

M.O.T. - June 2022

Odometer - 144,180

Here we have a serious off-road weapon. First registered in October 1989 it is finished in black over red and trimmed in black vinyl. The off-roading mods are largely self-apparent and include: external roll cage; raised, side-exit exhaust; sump guard; 285/70x16 multi-terrain tyres; and a snorkel. The vendor presently rates the diesel engine and 4x4 transmission as ‘good’, the bodywork as ‘average’ and the paintwork and interior trim as ‘below average’, and volunteers that the engine ‘starts first time every time’. He is now selling the truck complete with an MOT valid until June 7 next year. The total indicated mileage currently stands at 144,180.

The biggest development in the original Land Rover’s history was the cessation of the Series line and its replacement with the Land Rover 90 and 110 models, later re-badged as Defender. This change was necessitated by the launch of the Land Rover Discovery, meaning the father of the range could no longer be called just a Land Rover – it too needed its own model name. The Discovery also brought a new engine to the party, the 200Tdi which, as fitted to the Defender, resulted in higher cruising speeds and more load-lugging torque. Gone now was the long-standing leaf spring suspension to be replaced by coils all round. Engine changes became a regular occurrence with the 200Tdi being followed by the 300Tdi, Td5 and then the Ford DuraTorq that appeared in 2.4-litre form in 2007, and then 2.2-litre guise in 2012. Throughout the ‘90s, the model commenced the climb upmarket while remaining true to its roots.

In summary:

  • Modified for serious off-road action
  • Uprates inclusive of an external roll cage
  • Comes complete with almost 12 months’ MOT

Location of Vehicle - Souldern, Oxfordshire
