1997 Land Rover Defender 90 diesel / auto!
For Sale:
1-of-A-Kind 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 TDI (turbo diesel)
This is the truck that has been featured in many articles and publications.
I am the original owner of this British Racing Green 1997 Land Rover Defender. It is a north American spec 90 that has been heavily modified for both on an off road performance.
This truck was delivered with the normal 4.0 liter V8. @ 46,000 mile (or there about), I did a well publicized V8 to diesel conversion. This was a long and very expensive process with all of the OEM engine, transmission and north american frame spec mods. We went with the Land ROver, BMW redesigned 2000/2001 300TDI. The truck is hot, bulletproof, runs great and has a incredible off and on road prowess. Instead of the 8 MPG i was getting with the V8 and large tires...I now get about 22MPG. (with stock sized tires, I would guess the MPG would jump up to 32MPGish. The body is in very good D90 condition. some small corrosion, small dings and minor paint/finish all typical of this vintage and automobile. The truck is my current daily driver and has been since I purchased it new from Land Rover Peabody. (MA) current millage is aprox. 130k.

300TDI
