Up for sale is my 1991 Land Rover Defender 90, finished in iconic Arles Blue, with the original 200Tdi turbo diesel engine and just 90,000 original miles. This Defender has been meticulously upgraded and maintained, with over $30,000 in engine, electrical, interior, and exterior enhancements. It's turn-key, rust-free, and ready for its next adventure.

💬 Seller’s Note:

This is a well-loved, well-sorted Defender with tasteful performance and usability upgrades. I’ve recently moved into the city and, with several other vehicles, no longer use it as often as I used to. It’s ready for a new owner who’ll enjoy it as much as I have — whether that’s for weekend over landing or as a standout in your classic 4x4 collection.

This 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 is a European-market example that spent time in Italy before being imported to the US in 2016 and later acquired by the seller in 2019. Finished in Arles Blue with a white roof, it is powered by a 2.5-liter 200Tdi turbodiesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission, dual-range transfer case, and locking center differential. Notable updates under current ownership include a revised AliSport turbocharger and intercooler, an overhauled climate control system, and replacements for the timing components, fuel pump, steering gearbox, door seals, and side windows. Additional features include a Yakima roof rack, LED lighting, checker-plate trim, inward-facing rear seats, and a Bluetooth-capable JVC touchscreen head unit with custom audio. The truck rides on black 16″ Sawtooth wheels with Goodyear Wrangler tires, Bilstein shocks, and upgraded four-wheel disc brakes.

The interior is trimmed in black vinyl with Dynamat sound-deadening, LED lighting, custom switches, and a removable center console. Work since 2020 also included repairing defroster wiring, replacing the passenger window regulator, and fitting a new speedometer cable. Replacement instruments show 9k miles, though the Carfax report notes a mileage inconsistency and true mileage is unknown. The truck benefits from corrosion protection on the underside, retrofitted rear disc brakes, and refreshed suspension and steering components. This Defender 90 is offered with invoices for recent work, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.
