About This Land Rover 90

This is a 1987 model with the venerable 2.5 Diesel Turbo and 5 speed LT77 transmission and LT230 Transfer box. The engine underwent a rebuild prior to its importation to USA. It fires right up every time, and can easily maintain highway speeds. The high/low range and diff locks work flawlessly. Heavy duty springs providing a 2" lift have been installed. The suspension also features newer struts and bushings all around. The truck has been fitted with OEM 'Tornado' Alloy wheels wrapped in 265/75/16 Off road tires. A full roof rack is included for overhead storage. Auxiliary exterior lighting provides exceptional night time visibility.

The interior of the 90 is in clean overall condition with all electrical components in working order, and all gauges working as they should.

This Land Rover 90 also has over 20 years of documented service & MOT history during its life in the UK. It's been well taken care of throughout it's life. The chassis has been well taken care of and is very solid, and has been professionally welded and repaired. The only known corrosion is on the bulk head, but is still structurally sound and poses no immediate concern. Overall this land rover is in great mechanical and structural condition, and is ready for any off roading adventure put in front of it.

The Land Rover 90 gets compliments everywhere it goes, and is genuine a head turner. It will be sold with a clean Florida title.
