1995 Land Rover Defender $79,950

*1995 Land Rover Defender 90*Although these days, Land Rover is known for building luxurious, off road capable vehicles, that hasnt always been the case. The off road aspect has always been a key feature of the brand, but for the first decades, luxury took a back seat to practicality and dependability. The Defender which debuted in 1984, was really a refined version of the Series trucks that the brand had built its name on since 1948. With some additional luxuries, the Defender was just as at home navigating a dirt track on the farm, as it was taking the family out to dinner in town.This 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 wagon is an original left hand drive European market example with a hard top. Finished in Graphite Blue with a white roof, this car underwent a thorough sorting by marque experts Brooklyn Coachworks in Brooklyn New York in the Summer of 2021, where it was acquired by the owner. Where most Defender upfitters add a suspension lift and enormous tires, Brooklyn Coachworks focuses instead on refining a standard Defender making it more dependable and enjoyable, while still offering some level of customization. The process includes hot-dip galvanizing the chassis, using zinc coatings on the undercarriage, swapping the doors for stronger Land Rover Puma TD4 units and replacing all of the seals around the vehicle. The color of the body, roof and wheels are all customer selected and this car sits on a set of color-matched 15-inch Wolf steel wheels, which are wrapped in BFGoodrich T/A KM3 tires with a matching spare on the rear door.The interior has been upgraded with black leather wrapped seats with both the front two bucket seats, and both rear inward facing benches finished in black leather with quilted stitching. The dashboard remains standard, just leather wrapped and the original steering wheel is still in place, framing the simple white-on-black gauge cluster. A Kenwood head unit has been fitted with Bluetooth connectivity as well as dual auxiliary USB connections to keep your devices charged.Powering this Land Rover is one of the most sought after engines to come in the Defender from the factory - the 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. Power is then sent through a 5-speed manual gearbox to all four wheels with a locking center differential. To ensure the car is easy to drive in town, power disc brakes and power steering are fitted. Recently, the car was sent to Defenders NW in Gig Harbor who completed a thorough servicing that included a new fuel injection pump, new belts and a new timing cover gasket to guarantee this truck runs at its best for years to come.With the ever increasing popularity of classic off-road vehicles, the Defender sits atop the rest as one of the most capable and iconic vehicles ever built in the segment. This example retains that classic ethos, but with a host of modern upgrades, is much more pleasant to own and drive around town. If you wanted to order a similar Defender of your own from Brooklyn Coachworks, the cost exceeded $125,000 and will take months to complete - skip the line and buy this excellent example at a nice discount.*Key Features* * Built by Brooklyn Coachworks * Galvanized and Powder Coated Frame * Galvanized Body * Zinc Hardware * Reinforced Doors * 15-Inch Wolf Wheels * 300Tdi Inline-4 Turbodiesel * 122 horsepower/210 lb-ft of torque * 5-Speed Manual Transmission * Leather Wrapped Interior * Quilted Stitching * Kenwood Audio w/Bluetooth * Air Conditioning * Power Disc Brakes * Power Steering*Additional Information* * Reproduction Owners ManualFor 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 fe
