1987 Land Rover 90

Description

Interesting 90 that's seen some useful works and improvements inc. big tyres; sump gaurd, checker plate; sunroof; snorkel, replacement 300TDI engine, 300TDI transmission and Salisbury axles

Dating from March 1987 this Land Rover 90 4C is finished in Red and sits atop a yellow chassis and has been the subject of what looks to have been significant overhaul works including fitment of a donor 300TDI engine and transmission as well as some interior trim from a 1998 Defender 300TDI.

Photos on file show the body and chassis being worked on and restored during which time the chassis and engine bay were painted yellow.

We are also told the axles fitted are Salisbury variants offering better road manners than the conventional items giving the 300tdi unit more scope on modern roads.

Looking rather beefy on it big tyres and utilitarian steel wheels with checker plating, sump guard and snorkel, this truck looks like it could be rather a lot of fun on a green lane or two.

The history file includes the v5C of the truck showing 10 former keepers to our vendor who’s owned it some 10 years plus the V5C of the donor Defender, information on the Exmoor trim load area acoustic matting fitted, photos of the restorative works, some 21 old MOTs and the current, valid until May 2024 recording no advisories.

Charge the battery (its flat) and she looks ready to rock and roll.
