Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1986 Land Rover 90 has been extensively rebuilt with a galvanised chassis, a 300 TDi engine upgrade, and an automatic transmission conversion, making it a capable and customized classic.
Despite the significant upgrades, it has cosmetic flaws such as unpolishable bonnet scratches, door dings, and minor oil leaks, placing its condition as "Above Average" rather than "Good" or higher.

Condition 

5

The vehicle has undergone an extensive rebuild with a galvanised chassis and uprated engine, which is a significant positive. However, the description notes specific cosmetic imperfections including scratches and marks on the bonnet and wing tops that will not polish out, two small dings on the driver's door, and repaired dashboard vinyl. Additionally, there are minor mechanical notes like slight oil leaks from the engine and differential seals, and the FM radio not currently picking up stations. These issues prevent it from being rated higher than 'Above Average' (5), as 'Good' (6) would imply only moderate wear with a few small dents or light scratches, and this vehicle has specific, unfixable cosmetic marks and minor functional issues.
