Hi and thanks for

looking at our listing for this Landrover

Defender 90. Unlike many sellers this

Landrover is to be collected by the new

buyer in USA and comes with all relevant

EPA and DOT clearance all ready for the

new owner to title. The Landrover is

originally from the United Kingdom and it

still has 10 months of the UK MOT

remaining. For those unfamiliar with the

MOT it is a 12 monthly requirement in the

UK for all vehicles where they check

things such as brakes. lights. steering.

chassis. and all round general safety. I

have this certificate to hand and will be

given to the new keeper which guaranteed

you a safe. roadworthy Landrover.

The Vehicle

The Landrover

itself is a rare 88" factory County

Station Wagon. This Landrover has been

fully restored approximately 12-18 months

ago. A lot of money was spent on it. The

Frame was taken off and the whole rear

third of the frame was renewed for a

brand new section. New outriggers were

also installed and the whole frame was

gone over and sealed to provide years of

protection. The whole bulkhead has been

renewed around 24 months ago along with

new A pillars and floor pans. In

addition. new front doors were fitted

around the same time. The front seats are

brand new and have not been sat in. The

motor was removed from the Landrover and

has been fully rebuilt with new Pistons.

valves. head skimming work and a general

complete overhaul. The motor has also

been freshened up and colour coded to

match the exterior. The gearbox was

removed. rebuilt and added was a Fairey

overdrive system which gives an extra

gear for Freeway driving. The fluids in

the front and rear diff were drained and

diffs were resealed again for extra

longevity. A new set of genuine and

expensive Landrover wheels were added.

The paintwork has been done around 18

months ago and a new galvanised bumper

has been fitted. The cost of this work

was well above $10. 00 and probably

closer to $15. 00.

The Body

The exterior is

finished in a marine blue contrasted with

a cream safari roof. These Landrovers as

you will know have aluminum panels and as

such they generally have a few light

impressions as this one does but nothing

major. There is also a slight crack to

the paint on the rear quarter but nothing

major at all. The metal trim around the

windows and lights etc has all been

painted along with the whole body and

engine bay being painted. The exterior

looks very good indeed as you would

expect but please remember it has been

used for the last 12 months as a daily

driver so there a few light marks that

are just "typical Landrover".

The frame is superbly solid. the bulkhead

is great and the whole thing is just nice

and solid and all the expensive jobs have

been taken care of.

The Interior

The inside of the

vehicle is clean. tidy and original. The

3 front seats are brand new and have

hardly been sat in. Being the Safari

station wagon. it has the genuine and

factory fitted 4 x fold down rear seats

in the back. They are in decent shape but

do have so signs of use and a small

amount of wear on a couple of them. We

have chequer plated the rear out and it

has even been painted on the inside to

match the outisde. The 2 x front doors

were new arounf 18 months ago so no

corrosion issues on the ddor frames etc.

The rear door is also very good and

solid. The rear door card has a few marks

but nothing major at all. Again very good

indeed. Floor in the front has all been

painted as well.

Mechanicals

The 2. 25 Diesel

engine has been removed and gone through

and basically fully rebuilt. It wanted

for nothing and the rebuild was done by a

Landrover shop so done properly. The

motor is great and runs without fault.

The gearbox was removed. stripped and

rebuilt with the addition of the Fairey

Overdrive system which is a $1000 job on

its own. The 4 WD system was gone through

and new uj's were added and the prop was

all greased to factory spec. The brakes

have been overhauled. The steering box

has been replaced and adjusted

accordingly. A new radiator was added

also. All fluids were drained and renewed

and engine fully serviced. As you can

imagine it runs like new and the

Landrover shop commented on how quiet it

ran for a diesel one of this age. This is

ready to be driven and enjoyed on a daily

basis!
