Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 is a rare 50th Anniversary Edition, one of only 50 built in South Africa. It features a BMW 2.8i engine and is reported to be in original condition with service history, making it a potentially desirable classic.
Condition
7
The vendor states that the vehicle remains in original condition with original embossed seats, carpets, paintwork and decals. As well as that the only work carried out has been the addition of a swing-away spare wheel carrier and a tracker. There is also an excellent service history and photographs available from South Africa. This leads me to believe that the car is in Very Good condition with only minor reconditioning required.

Year: 1998 Make: Land Rover Model: Defender 90 2.8i 50th Anniversary Edition Registration: N50 DFR Chassis No: SALLDVB97WF828650 Odometer: 317,500 km The Land Rover was launched in 1948 and after an enormous production run of 67 years production finally concluded in January 2016.
In that time, Land Rover continuously updated its talisman, with the Series II, then III, and finally with the Defender.
By 1998, 50 years had passed, but the Defender remained in production, leading Land Rover to launch a special edition to celebrate the anniversary.
This very rare 50th Anniversary Edition was factory built in South Africa in 1998; a letter from Land Rover SA in the history file confirms this.
A mere 50 of these limited edition 50th Anniversary models were made for South Africa, 32 of which were the 90 model, and we understand that very few can be found in the UK.
It is fitted with a BMW 2.8i M52 six-cylinder engine mated to a manual gearbox, which is superb according to our vendor.
