1997 Land Rover 90 / Defender 90 (Euro Spec)

This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 is a left-hand-drive wagon that was reportedly registered with one owner in Italy before the selling dealer’s 2022 acquisition, and it shows 79k kilometers (~49k miles). Finished in green with a white roof over gray vinyl upholstery, the truck is powered by a 2.5-liter 300Tdi turbodiesel inline-four that drives all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional equipment includes 16″ Rostyle wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, front bucket seats, and air conditioning. This Defender is offered by the selling dealer in Piacenza, Italy, with Italian registration documents that list the vehicle as a 1996 model. The truck is finished in green with a white roof and gray wheel-arch extensions. Additional exterior details include alpine windows, Defender side graphics, retractable steps, mud flaps, a rear wiper, and a single exhaust outlet. A fender dent behind the left headlight, condensation in the left-rear turn signal, and paint imperfections can be seen up close in the gallery below in addition to paint meter readings. Painted 16″ Rostyle wheels are mounted with 205/80 Michelin Latitude Cross DT tires with 2022 date codes, and a spare is mounted to the rear cargo door. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at all four corners. The cabin features front bucket seats trimmed in gray vinyl upholstery that are separated by a locking storage console. The cargo area is partitioned from the front of the truck with a tubular metal divider, and there are no rear seats. Appointments include air conditioning, a heater and defroster, wind-up windows, and Land Rover-branded floor mats. The plastic cover is missing from the driver’s seatbelt receiver, and a tear in the upholstery is noted on the center console. A two-spoke steering wheel frames a 150-km/h speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 79k kilometers (~49k miles). The 2.5-liter 300Tdi turbodiesel inline-four was rated at 111 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional underside photos are included in the gallery below.
