Dealer Comments

This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, finished in Monza Red with Black Leather Interior, is 1 of Only 1,300 US-spec D90s that were imported in 1997, which was also the only year for the larger 4.0L V8 engine and the rugged ZF automatic transmission combination. This desirable D90 features Factory A/C, Black Removable Hardtop with Safari Windows, Black Removable Soft Top, Leather Upholstery and Console, Rear Front-Facing Bench Seat with Seatbelts, Front-End Brush Bar, Hella Fog Lamps, Front Fender-Mounted Rocker Panel Black Diamond Plating, Upgraded Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth® phone connection. Sold new in California, this fabulous D90 spent a pampered life in sunny CA until 2013, when it came to the Seattle area. Recent new head gaskets, front cover & oil pan gaskets, plugs & wires, fluids. A very nice Defender, it has been extremely well-cared for and never abused, and has just undergone servicing here at the Park Place LTD Service Center. These Defender 90's are extremely desirable for both longevity and rarity.
One of the ultimate off-road machines, the Land Rover D-90 gets high marks for both rugged capability and desirability. The 4.0L V8 is mated to a heavy-duty 4-speed ZF transmission with a near bullet-proof locking differential and 4WD - perfect for those steep grades. This D90 also features a brush bar in the front for when it gets a bit thick, as well as Hella fog lamps, and a full-size spare tire.
This D90 underwent minor cosmetic freshening in 2013 that included a repaint in correct Monza Red and the original hardtop was refinished. Inside, the seats were reupholstered with custom leather covers and an updated Alpine / Focal premium audio system has replaced the dated original units.
