1986 Land Rover Defender

Vehicle Overview VIN:SALLDVAB8AA273739
I am selling my own personal Land Rover Defender 90. This is a truly unique 90, built to my own exact standards, with the goal of making it look as though it should have come from the factory.
It drives beautifully thanks to a tasteful re-fresh engine.
