Highlights
- This Land Rover features a 5-speed manual transmission.
- This 90 is a left-hand drive, European-spec SUV that is titled and located in Florida.
- A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the seller includes a Land Rover 4.0-liter V8 engine swap, an R380 Land Rover-sourced 5-speed manual transmission, a locking center differential, a Tornado Systems engine control unit, a custom exhaust system with Borla muffler, 16-inch wheels, a Terrafirma suspension lift kit, a Mantec spare tire carrier, leather upholstery, a Rovers North air conditioning system, Lucari front seats with rear jump seats, a touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay, and VDO gauges.
- Land Rover introduced the 4-door 110 and the 2-door 90 in 1983 and 1984, respectively, to replace the long-running Series III. While both models looked a lot like their predecessors, they offered users a more up-to-date interior, a permanent 4-wheel-drive system, and coil springs. The 110 and the 90 morphed into the original Defender in 1990, and production carried on with minor updates until 2016.
- Power comes from a 4.0-liter V8. Output is sent to all 4 wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
