Description:
*1995 Land Rover Defender 90*In 1983 Land Rover debuted their new Defender, based on the earlier Series Land Rovers, it was their updated answer to the Willys Jeep based trucks they had been building since the 1940s but with more of an eye to creature comforts. This was no small task as it also needed to maintain the serious off road credentials that Land Rover had become so well known for. With the introduction of items such as coil springs, an updated interior, progressively more powerful engines and in 1984, roll up windows, the Defender became the automatic choice for outdoor adventurers and English farmers alike.As with many cult classics of this era, a tremendous amount of aftermarket support has sprung up around them to help owners build their vehicles out to their individual specification. This 1995 Land Rover Defender is a perfect example of all of the things you can do to outfit one of these trucks for greater comfort while maintaining all of the coveted utility. This Defender 90 originates from Italy and upon arriving in the US in 2021, it was sent to Outland Defender in Kentucky, where the consignor found and purchased the truck. When this truck was new in 1995, it was specified as a short wheel base 90 with the well known 300TDi turbo diesel inline 4. This engine became notorious in period for its stout build quality and stump pulling power and was one of the first diesels from Land Rover that is easily able to cruise with modern traffic. This example has been enhanced to perform even better with the addition of an EGR delete, straight pipe exhaust, enhanced Alisport double wall intercooler and oil breather along with a new Alisport expansion tank. These modifications don\'t add a tremendous amount of power but make this Land Rover a much more reliable vehicle that will provide power in all weather and you won\'t have to worry about notorious ERG issues. The transmission has been upgraded with a Red Booster servo clutch kit which eases clutch effort and will make the car much easier to drive in traffic. Never a car known for their handling, this Defender was upgraded with an Anti-Roll kit which includes sway bars as well as the related bolts and bushings which help matters in that department significantly. A set of XTR1 18 Black wheels with matching spare have been fitted along with a knobby set of BFGoodrich K02 Tires which make it fantastic off road.Since the Defender was originally built as a farming truck, the interior was notoriously sparse- a few vinyl or cloth covered seats with rubber floors so you could hose out the dirt and mud. Although the functionality of that is great, it isn\'t a particularly pleasant place to spend your time- thankfully when this Defender went in for upgrades, the interior was addressed as well. The job began with the installation of Kilmat sound deadening which makes the echoey cabin nice and quiet, over that an Exmoor premium carpet kit was put in to give the truck a more luxurious feel inside. Beautiful Black leather sport seats with red diamond stitched accents and seat heaters were installed up front as was a 300 watt sound system with a touchscreen infotainment center. A 3-piece leather dash was installed with stitching to match the seats and a Momo 3-spoke steering wheel looks great and is a massive improvement over the stock 2-spoke unit. The interior throughout the car has a beautiful, upscale look and makes this Defender an especially pleasant place to be. Overall, the car has been well modified to be a much more enjoyable car both on and off road and maintains the classic, rugged look that these trucks have become known for!*Key Features* * 300TDi Diesel Engine * EGR Delete * Straight Pipe * AliSport Double Wall Intercooler * AliSport Oil Breather * 5-Speed Manual Transmission * Red Booster Servo Clutch Kit * Slick Shift Transmission Shift Reducer * Kilmat Sound Proofing * Exmoor Premium Carpet Kit * Full Rear Bulkhead Delete * Sound System With Double-Din Infotainment * 300-Watt Amp * MUD UK Plastic Corner Inserts and Reverse Camera * Heated Front Seats * RXI Low base Leather Front Seats * Sliding Rear Side Windows * Dark Tint * Lucari Center Cubby Box * Leather Wrapped Grab Handles * MOMO 14 Steering Wheel * Puma Dashboard With Leather Cover * AC LHD Puma 6-Switch Dashboard * Modified Gear Shift * Heat/AC Combo Under Bonnet Unit * Terrafirma Center Steering Damper * Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier * Door/Hood Hinge Kit * LED Light Conversion * Smoked Tails * Anti-Roll Kit * Anti-Roll Bars * Bushings * XTR1 18 Gloss Black Wheels * BFG K02 Tires * Undercarriage Treated With Raptor LinerWatch a Walkaround Video Here...For more information on this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 or any of our 150+ High-Performance, Exotic, Luxury, and Special Interest Cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or feel free to drop by our 40,000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue, WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
