In terms of collectible SUVs, classic Land Rovers rank right up there as some of the most sought-after trucks on the market today. Today, we present to you this exceptionally capable and impressively restored 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS, with only 55,921 actual miles on its odometer. Fully repainted in this unique Grasmere Green, complemented by its removable brown soft top, this Defender is ready to take on whatever kind of terrain you can throw at it.
Inside, we find a utilitarian yet comfortable and visually striking Caramel leather interior featuring a pair of plush bucket seats separated by a center console that offers an armrest and storage. A compact, power-assisted steering wheel sits just ahead of a large 110-mph speedometer and smaller tachometer, fuel, and temperature gauges, with a litany of warning lights filling the rest of the dashboard. In back, a matching bench seat is bookended by a pair of speakers powered by the AM/FM/AUX/USB/Satellite/Bluetooth Kenwood touchscreen head unit that also offers a backup camera, while aftermarket air conditioning makes even the hottest days tolerable.
Under the hood, we find a 4.0-liter V-8 engine. From the factory, this motor made approximately 182 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. That naturally aspirated power is routed through a four-speed automatic transmission before being sent to either the rear or all four corners, where 16-inch body-color steel wheels await, shod in BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires measuring 265/75R-16.
