Description Smart truck cab with recent galvanised rear crossmember; 300 TDi; 148K; low owners; lots to like This 1996 90 Defender has had just three owners from new, the vendor purchasing it in 2018.
The Landy had always been a local car and he has spent time making it into the smart example you see before you.
The rear cross-member was replaced with a galvanised unit and he has carefully undersealed the rest of the chassis.
The engine is a 300Tdi so will go no forever and it has the R380 gearbox.
The tilt looks recent and in good order and it comes fitted with Boost Alloys and a robust bull-bar.
It is MOT'd until December this year with just three minor advisories and has covered 148,000 miles to date.
The bodywork is very straight bar a few dings as photographed and is ready for work.
