This 90 came to us from a discerning Land Rover enthusiast’s collection as more of a time required labor of love than a full restoration. However, while not a flawless example you might find in a new Puma / illegal VIN rebadged, it is unlikely you will ever see another example like this. The truck started its life as a 1984 D90 with final fittings to order by the Special Vehicles Division in Solihull but the exact original build and preparations not disclosed re its history. It is evident, however, the truck was not used in any harsh environment. The 300tdi based drivetrain is coveted as the best power plant for these trucks and partnered with the preferred r380 Gearbox it feels simply unstoppable. With only a touch of the ignition this D90 starts and runs flawlessly and runs out smoothly at highway speeds at 80-90mph in a stride. From the first engagement you are confident that if you could maintain traction and stability it could climb a wall. Fitted with a New Optima Yellow Top Spiral Cell and Land Rover Genuine battery switch, as optioned in 110NAS trucks, the need for battery maintenance is negated if stored long term (ref drain from normal alarm/radio system drain)
Conditions and inspections. Unlike some of the NAS offerings we table, this is not one of the “brand new” builds. It is instead it was a long term ownership build regularly maintained to exacting standards using only LR Genuine parts and specified fluids. While certainly fitted for the harshest environments it has not seen much more than occasional dry street usage. The truck shows as photographed and put simply stops traffic. As we house NAS 110’s pending market or completion in-house, it draws for more interest than its NAS counterparts even though they are far more valuable and coveted. As our primary business is exotics, with retail offerings have to meet or exceed stringent requirements, our expectations in assessment is of course more than likely unrealistic. This being said, we score the paint finish currently about 7/10 re minor inclusions and the older (<5 years) shines well but could be polished / buffed more if so desired. However, one must consider our positioning is typically more for concours or high-end exotics’ not something more fitted for application in the Zombie Apocalypse. Also, as with all Land Rovers, particularly Diesels when not used regularly, long term storage we understand and expect the typical fluid drops experienced as weeks of sitting. If you are not a seasoned Land Rover enthusiast you may not be aware of such common issues. However, these would be our only notation merited by this otherwise incredible example.
In 2016 the truck was fitted with brand new OEM Land rover Genuine Boost Alloy Wheels and ultra rare (in US) Land Rover Specification MT/R Tires directly sourced from a Genuine Land Rover Supplier in the UK. Recent additions also include the professional installation of the Warn Spydura winch system tastefully seated within a Mantec to OEM specification bumper as designed for and used on the Defenders in the movie Spectre. No expense was spared in the custom installation using only the highest quality #02 Copper Wiring and Lugs to properly mount the solenoid and housing where easily accessed in the rust free “as new” storage/battery beneath the passenger seat. With options and OEM upgrades/renewals too numerous to detail here, the more notable interior appointments include complete removal of the existing interior, which while it was in remarkable condition, changed to brand new OEM Land Rover Genuine 2015 Puma XS seating and cubby storage. The truck includes a matched XS center seat easily swapped for the console if so required for added seating. Further, the new OEM Genuine Mats, Rubber Matting and Flooring system finish a near perfect rust free footwell secured with A2 Stainless fittings . In recent years the availability of stainless steel hinges became a reality to permanently resolve the well known issue where inclement weather resulted in severe degradation. Stainless hinges were secured finished the piano black priming / finish and then custom finished/baked custom matched for installation with stainless steel fittings. During this installation the doors were cleaned, inspected and re-sealed with new vapor barrier exceeding OEM specs. All lighting, Headlamps, signals etc all work perfectly as does the Heating Ventilations system. Aside from these note highlights the images provided clearly reflect the incredible conditions of the stripped, zinc treated and sealed frame/chassis as well completed to insure durability in the harshest usage / environment if the end user so chose. Since it has been stored in a climate controlled environment.

The Defender needs no formal introduction. At limited availability in the US it is one of the most coveted / rare SUVs in history. The retirement of the Defender in 2015 has already resulted in these cars being sought by investment groups as prices continue to climb. The truck includes a Land Rover Original Owners Manual, Two complete sets of OEM keys, Jack, Tool Kit, optional genuine XS center seat option as well as a 5th match 2015 OEM Wheel / Tire.

In addition to finishing touches / cosmetics the G.E.A.R.S® team has insured the car is mechanically sorted prior to sale inclusive of all fluids being flushed/changed during inspection/service.

The car is on display on the dealerships showroom floor. She of course gets far more attention than any of the exotics on display . . . regardless of make or price point.

This is a rare find and there are no issues with this highly sought Defender. In addition to remarketing services our founder and staff, in addition to the obvious passion for exotics, are Land Rover Owners and Enthusiasts. Many modern restorations take on the feel of a “kit car” as the entirety of the car is replaced with modern materials and/or the under panels, chassis etc are deteriorated hidden beneath paint or undercoating. What left is all new “to the eye”, usually very cheap or poorly made materials adorning a vintage shell and usually encompassing modern amenities simply out of place in a true Land Rover. Our Team maintains the position that it is the originality combined with the look and feel of older and or OEM original parts that preserve a vintage car. This being said, we strive to maintain the purity of any car, vintage or otherwise, we intend to offer on our retail arm. This unit, as with any pre-owned SUV, restored or not, will certainly have imperfections and should be thus expected to not be a “new” car.
