Incorporates numerous upgrades, resembling a later Defender model
The Appeal
The great thing about old Land Rovers is that they can be anything you want them to be. These cars are almost endlessly customisable. A raft of specialists offering uprated parts lets you build something truly unique.
This 1989 example is a late-model Ninety, produced shortly before the advent of the 'Defender' moniker. With a 3.5-litre Rover V8 fitted, the vendor describes it as great fun to drive, with incredible noise courtesy of the straight-through exhausts.
The vendor notes the car comes with a comprehensive history file containing lots of supporting paperwork. As the photographs show, the Landy has undergone several upgrades and now resembles a highly specified Defender from the 2000s. The added benefit of being an older model than it appears is that this car will soon qualify for road tax and MOT exemption under the government's forty-year rolling exemption scheme for 'Historic Vehicles'.
With a valid MOT until January 2027, this V8 Ninety is ready to be enjoyed.image.png5.76 MB
