A true British icon, a legendary 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 equipped with the coveted 200 TDI power plant and five speed manual transmission.In honest, veryoriginaland generally unmolested condition.I just love the character and charm of it being right hand drive. All drivingcomponents are the same as a US vehicle configuration, gas pedal; clutch, brakes and gear stick are the sameexcept you are just in a right hand side drivingposition. Takes ten minutes to get use to, and then it's a joy to drive and creates waves and attention wherever it goes. A true original andiconicDefender!As with any older vehicle, please expect flaws and imperfections that come with age and mileage. It still has a current MOT (British road safety test); every vehicle in the UK must pass a MOT each year (not required for the USA but completed regardless). Which ultimately shows you have a roadworthy, safe and competent vehicle that is road legal to drive.

Mechanically, this Land Rover is in excellent running and driving condition. The Defender starts easily and runs smoothly with every turn of the key.Her road manners are good and what you would expect from a Defender.The suspension feels tight and well sorted.Steering and braking feel good, too.The engine keeps perfect temperature and excellent oil pressure at all times. The engine makes great power and feels strong throughout the power band.Low-end torque is impressive. Gear changes through the manual transmission are precise. Overall thisoriginalLand Rover is in great mechanical condition and operates exactly as it should, and is ready for its next adventure!
