Shown here is a Defender 90 Hard Top Station Wagon shown in the factory original color of Arles Blue (paint code LRC424) which is one of our favorites. The Defender was sourced out Pistoia, Italy from a Signore Bisconti. One can easily tell upon inspection Defender lived its life in the dry Tuscany region of Italy. Originally sold new on February 19, 1990, in Italy. This Defender has stayed well preserved over the years and a very unmolested original example. There are only a few aftermarket modifications found on this Defender which keeps this vehicle true to it’s utilitarian heritage. It is also an excellent blank canvas for a build or enjoy it as Land Rover designers intended.
This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 is shown in a two-tone factory original color of LRC 424 Arles Blue body with a contrasting roof in LRC603 Chawton White. The interior upholstery is grey with no interior carpeting, only rubber floormats for protection. This makes cleanup after a hard day of hunting or at the beach a snap. A brand-new set of five 235/85R16 BFG All Terrain K02 tires mounted on factory Land Rover 5-spoke Alloy wheels (model ANR1689). The rear tire is mounted on an aftermarket tire carrier which is an excellent upgrade to lighten the load on the rear door. Otherwise, this Defender is almost in it’s factory delivered condition. New floormats were installed all around to keep the dirt and debris off the floor pans. We went through this Defender mechanically and made sure it is ready for any adventure.
No other 4x4 vehicle has the pedigree and a track record like Land Rover. Not only was it one of the first, it remains the world’s pre-eminent on and off-road vehicle, exhilarating to drive, highly reliable, and easy to maintain. The Defender 90 features the high performance 2.5L Turbo Diesel mated to the bulletproof 5 Speed Manual LT77 Transmission. Direct injection technology coupled with a turbocharger gives improved diesel economy with even greater power, torque, longevity, and reliability. It provides high performance on-road with the capability to tackle the worst off-road conditions, in nearly every driving environment in the world.
