Offered from the care of an enthusiast owner, this Land Rover Defender 90 Station Wagon has been subtly upgraded with carefully considered performance and aesthetic modifications, and is presented in beautifully maintained condition. A new Land Rover 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel four-cylinder was installed barely a month ago and the car has covered just 1,200 km since. This drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer currently displays 160,848 km. This Defender has had just two keepers from new, and is accompanied by a detailed maintenance history. This Defender 90 is finished in white, with a contrasting gloss black front bumper, grille, headlight surrounds, wheel arches and chequer-plate panels. Inside, the seats are trimmed in black cloth, the central cubby box is covered in black leather with white contrast stitching, and a black leather-trimmed Startech steering wheel has been fitted. It rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels shod in BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM3 tyres. A new engine was fitted approximately 1,500 kilometres ago, and was treated to a stage one remap. At the same time, a new turbocharger, clutch and new clutch pipework were installed. The engine, clutch, and turbocharger components are covered by a full 12-month warranty. The vehicle has also been fitted with aftermarket Terrafirma suspension, new rock sliders, a custom-made bull bar, a bash plate and a winch, along with LED driver’s lights and aftermarket spotlights. Inside, the car features a full aftermarket sound proofing installation as well as a Kenwood head unit with Apple CarPlay and front and rear dash cams. It will be sold with a fully stamped and dated service history with work carried out by Land Rover approved mechanics, receipts and the warranty for the recent engine work.

The white paintwork is believed to be mostly original as is in excellent overall condition, with only a few minor imperfections and surface marks. The owner recently repainted the roof edging after removing a roof rack. Inside, the car is very smart, and the upholstery and trim show little evidence of its 160,000 kilometres of service, though the vendor notes some light scuffing on the rear seats from being stored in the folded position. All of the internal carpets have been replaced with marine carpet, and a new steering wheel and gear lever have been installed. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults, nor issues with the controls, switches or instruments. The most recent roadworthiness test was completed in April 2021, and the car passed without issue. This Defender recently underwent a major mechanical refresh, which was completed in January 2022 at 158,525 kilometres by Peninsula Rangie Automotive. This work included the aforementioned engine replacement, as well as the fitment of a new turbo charger and injectors, water pump, clutch, and slave cylinder. Prior to this, Peninsula Rangie Automotive serviced the car in May 2021 at 148,039 kilometres, performing a lubrication service and all points suspension inspection. Work included changing engine oil, oil and air filters and several door seals. They carried out the same service on the 1st of February, 2021 at 139,851 kilometres. The Defender has been serviced every 10,000 kilometres, and this work is documented in its maintenance history.
