Land Rover Defender 1986 Land Rover Ninety 90 Ex-Military

A characterful and highly usable early Land Rover Ninety, first registered in July 1986, combining classic pre-Defender looks with the much more desirable and practical 300 Tdi diesel engine.
Originally built as a heavy-duty / military-specification vehicle, this Ninety retains the purposeful simplicity that makes these early Land Rovers so appealing. It has since been upgraded for serious recreational and off-road use while retaining its unmistakable period character.

The 300 Tdi is a later conversion and is not the original 1986 engine. For anyone intending to actually use the vehicle, however, it is one of the most attractive Land Rover diesel configurations thanks to its mechanical simplicity, strong parts availability and reputation for durability.
This is not a concours restoration. It is a genuine, functional classic Land Rover with visible signs of use consistent with its age and purpose. The combination of the early Ninety body, left-hand drive, soft top, 300 Tdi power and heavy-duty equipment makes it a particularly interesting vehicle for an enthusiast looking for something more distinctive than a standard Defender.
It presents extremely well as an adventure, expedition or recreational 4x4 and has the rugged, utilitarian character these early Land Rovers are known for.
The vehicle can be viewed by appointment.
