1997 Land Rover NAS Defender 90 Soft Top #1444 – White with ~57842 Miles.
Clearly, I am a Land Rover enthusiast. I currently have 4 Land Rovers. I have been moving all of the off-road gear over to my 100” Hybrid. My 90 has spent most of its life sitting in my Garage. Rovers like to be driven.
This is a very clean, low-mile 90 Soft Top.
I am the 2nd owner, purchased in 2003 with 46K on the odometer. I have both sets of full keys (doors, ignition, cubby and gas) I have a Clean Title in hand. About two weeks ago, the Speedometer screen was intermittent (known issue, which I will fix prior to sale) now it is not working.
Body: Truck has been garaged indoors and is 100% free of rust. Chassis, bulkheads, hinges, floors, door sills, etc., all are in great shape.
Tops: I have the original soft top and a surrey top.
The interior is in great shape. Seats are clean and un-torn. Dash is straight, not bleached or cracked.
Drivetrain 4.0L V8 with automatic transmission.
My goal is to sell the 90 as close to stock as the new owner wants it. I have been diligently working on my hybrid, so I can wheel the crap out of it. It doesn’t make sense to wheel a low mile NAS 90 anymore.
I don’t have to sell it, but it makes sense.
