SOLD - Used 1997 Land Rover Defender

This iconic 1997 NAS Defender 90 Soft Top, finished in AA Yellow and carrying Badge 0914, has only 146,000 original miles and comes with a clean Carfax report. One of only 1,500 North American Specification Defenders imported that final year, it is powered by the legendary 4.0L V8 engine, paired with a smooth ZF 4-speed automatic transmission and Land Rover’s full-time four-wheel-drive system with a selectable low range. The vehicle sits on 16-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in fresh BF Goodrich 265/75R16 All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Factory air conditioning, rear lamp guards, and an Exmoor Trim cloth soft top complete the classic specifications. The interior is thoughtfully designed with a forward-facing rear bench seat, making it ideal for family adventures or extra gear, along with new rubber matting throughout the cabin. A modern Alpine stereo, paired with Polk Audio speakers, provides clear sound for an enjoyable open-air experience, while the overall presentation remains true to the Defender’s rugged, no-nonsense character. In 2022, this Defender underwent a comprehensive $50,000 refurbishment, transforming it into one of the finest examples available on the market. The work included a complete bare-metal repaint in its original AA Yellow, an engine-out reseal, all-new suspension components and bushings, stainless steel brake and fuel lines, refinished exterior metals and plastics, alloy hinges, stainless hardware throughout, all-new exterior lighting, a brand-new Exmoor Trim soft top, and a full mechanical service. The result is a turn-key, beautifully preserved NAS Defender 90 that combines the authentic character of ’97 with meticulous modern refurbishment.
