Land Rover Defender 90 RHD
1985 Land Rover Defender Description
Defender 90 RHD. Galvanized Chassis!! Truck drives incredibly well. Power steering is smooth and tight. Has some common rust spots on body and underneath but nothing that has bothered me enough to fix. Original engine has been swapped at some point in her life for the 3.5 V8 commonly found in these vehicles. Transmission is easy to shift. No smoke or engine ticks. Original Zu wheels have just been sand-blasted and refinished in a gorgeous matte black. The right hand drive is easy to get used to and a lot of fun. Selling because of a lack of car seat installation option. Need a bigger vehicle for a growing family.
Front seats have just been replaced with genuine LR XS style seats. Black and grey. New cubby to match. New JVC stereo with bluetooth and speakers up in headliner which is unique for this vehicle but incredible convenient. Diamond plate in the rear making for a great utility space. There is a double jump seat on one side of the rear.
Other new features include:
- Front lamp covers
- Front bumper
- Lots of tread left on tires.
- Mud flaps on rear

Included with sale but not installed on vehicle:
- LED light kit from RoversNorth
- Chequer plate bonnet guard to match the wheel well plates that are installed
- New rubber door seals. (I have not installed them because they are not needed at this point but they came with the vehicle when I purchased it.)
- Full vehicle cover for outdoor storage. (I have never used it because the vehicle has been garage kept ever since I purchased it.)
This Defender is in a great stage because it is ready to drive and enjoy but there are plenty of upgrades that it could take to increase the value and enjoyability of it. All around really sharp, well running Defender. VIN # SALLDVAC7AA233752
