Description
This stunning ** Land Rover Defender 90 SV** is one of the rarest limited-edition Defenders ever produced — with only ** 90 examples built** and an estimated ** 37 remaining in the UK** , it’s a true collector’s item with a huge file which includes the original sales invoice and special vehicle operations authentication plate as the cherry on top for this fantastic piece of Land Rover history.
This particular example stands above the rest, having undergone an extensive ** nut-and-bolt restoration** by the renowned specialists at ** Bespoke Defender**. Every component was meticulously stripped down, inspected, and rebuilt with no expense spared including a new chassis. Where replacement parts were required, even the smallest of parts were sourced carefully to ensure complete originality. The ** original 200Tdi engine** received a full rebuild with all necessary parts renewed, while the body was removed from the chassis and resprayed to perfection in ** Caprice Teal** , beautifully prepared this Defender 90 SV’s distinctive original finish.
The ** Defender 90 SV** holds a unique place in Land Rover history as the ** first model developed by Land Rover’s own Special Vehicle Operations** division (hence the name “SV” for Special Vehicle). This small, specialist department was tasked with creating unique and higher-performance variants of Land Rover’s standard models.
Produced between ** 1993 and 1994** , the 90 SV was launched at a pivotal time when Land Rover sought to move beyond its agricultural and working roots and appeal to the emerging **“fun and lifestyle” market**. The result was an iconic, stylish, and capable short-wheelbase Defender that marked the beginning of a new era for the brand.
Powered by the legendary ** 200Tdi engine** , renowned for its strength and reliability, and benefitting from Bespoke’s extensive restoration work completed only **~80 miles ago** , this exceptional Defender 90 SV is ready to embark on its next adventure — or take pride of place in any serious Land Rover collection.
