1997 Land Rover Defender Japanese Specs

1997 Land Rover Defender 90 – 4.0 V8 Automatic – Japanese Specification – Low Mileage

Asking Price: AED 269,000

A particularly attractive example of the classic 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, featuring the desirable 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine and automatic transmission.

Originally registered in Japan, this is one of the 500 limited-production V8 Defender 90s supplied to the Japanese market in 1997.

Only approximately 41,000 miles (66,000 km).

Finished in a beautiful, distinctive pearlescent ivory-white/cream paint, complemented by black wheel-arch extensions, substantial off-road tyres and protective exterior detailing. This Defender has an exceptionally appealing presence and must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Condition and equipment:

* Four brand-new all-terrain tyres

* Brand-new battery

* Fully reupholstered leather interior

* Internal and external roll protection bars

* Recently replaced air-conditioning compressor, with air conditioning working properly

* Pioneer touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity

* Electric windows

* Remote central locking

* Tinted windows throughout

* Front protection bar, side steps and rear-mounted spare wheel, as pictured

* 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine with automatic transmission and four-wheel drive

The vehicle has been carefully maintained and has recently received considerable mechanical attention to ensure it is fully roadworthy and ready to enjoy.

Both the exterior and interior present extremely well. There are a few small, readily serviceable cosmetic trim items remaining, typical of a vehicle of this age, which do not affect its roadworthiness or appeal.

A rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, beautifully presented classic V8 Defender 90 with an exceptional combination of character, presence and everyday usability.

Viewing highly recommended. Serious enquiries only, please. No time wasters.

Note the two pictures on sand are old, with prior tyres.

Located in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
