1984 D90 300TDI RHD, $41K

Time to let her go, for sale is my "1984" "D90". Quotations because there is little if anything left of the original vehicle since the rebuild. Closer spec would be a 95 300TDI except with everything replaced in the last several years

I purchased this defender in 2010 from the owner in Northern Ireland, imported it myself and drove it for a few years when I had transmission issues. I began weighing options and decided to have the truck re-built with a 300TDI engine and new chassis with fresh paint. I got to work replacing all the wiring and began adding components to make this a dependable Land Rover. Truck has always had all maintenance addressed and tracks well and low and high speeds, with the replacement clutch, throw-out bearing, Turner performance head and new exhaust, it should require little but routine maintenance for the next several years.

It's my baby but I have too many projects and I have certainly made my share of memories in this vehicle, the reg plates are correct and all other documentation is in my name.

Needs to be addressed:
Front cover oil leak (relatively new, seems to be behind timing cover, drips but no appreciable loss of oil)

Change remaining 2 lock cylinders to new key (have not had time)

Should be address:
Remaining Polybush bushings
Tie-rod Ends
Wheel’s balanced
Drivers window mechanism (would recommend converting both to Power Windows, kits relatively inexpensive)
Some small paint issues that should be repairable without a major overhaul

Sadly, I just do not have the time to give this vehicle any longer as I have purchased a boat and really need to focus my energy on that, the D90 has been great and reliable transportation for the past 10 years and I am sure it will provide the new owner with many more.

Asking $41000 with all spares included

Yep, this is a good one. I’ve worked on this truck and it’s been worked on in my driveway, NPT is being accurate when he says it’s all been replaced. The work was a lot more than the asking price for sure.

Cheers Jim, sadly it’s time for a full size pickup and my 130 dreams are just too far away! How’s the stable?
 
Update:
Full set of VDO Vision gauges, water temp, fuel, oil pressure, tach(I think) pyrometer, boost [$300]
MUD Stuff rear speaker pods [$100]
R380 External cooler kit Sychro Gearboxes [$300]
R380 extended sump [$200]
New set of Power Steering hoses and brackets [$300]
All new foam gaskets for the side panels [$200]

Probably more stuff, had a ton of plans to install this stuff but with the boat I just don't have time
 
Starting 12/1 I will begin selling off the bolt on bits:
Nakatenga roof rack
Safety devices ladder
Gearmate drawer system

plus everything on the not installed “included” list above:
R380 seat box/tunnel parts
Headliner
Td5 AC under dash kit
300TDI AC parts
New load space flooring
Ect. Ect. Ect

last chance to snatch up a full truck with tons of hardware
 
I can’t believe no one snatched it up yet.
A real beauty.
But also, most don’t have an extra 40k laying around.

It will do well on BAT, good luck!
