1988 LHD D90 2.5TD soft top mechanically rebuilt with warranty

Hello Guys,

This is our 3rd LHD build. Its a 1988 LHD D90 2.5td soft top. We redid the engine to 0 miles spec. List of all engine works below. We installed a new Ashcroft gearbox and 1.4 transfercase. The engine, gearbox, and transfer case all come with a 1 year parts warrenty.

Chassis and bulk head are in excellent condition with only slight surface rust. We redid the door bottoms as they needed a little love. They are the split window type. We have also gone through and replaced all the shocks, brakes, and cleaned up some of the wiring.

We make these LHD build's turn key Rovers. We wont let them leave the shop with any defects.


Paint is great condition and also sports the checker platting on the hood and wings. Soft top is also in excellent condition. Interior is new black exmoor seats and tuff box. Its a very sharp looking Rover.

Just leaving France now will be ready for delivery mid August.

Price is $19,500 and includes all shipping from France to the US, Customs charges, tax and a VT title.

We can take a small deposit to hold the Defender with balance being due once it arrives in the states and is ready for delivery.
