The Appeal
The Ninety and One Ten represent a sweet spot in the classic Land Rover lineage, combining a much-improved coil-sprung chassis with the charm of older Series models. This 1988 example features the robust 2.5L 19J diesel engine, known for its reliability and torque, perfect for tackling challenging terrain.
What makes this particular 90 worthy of consideration is the extensive mechanical and cosmetic work that has been carried out to ensure its longevity. The vehicle has undergone a comprehensive engine overhaul, chassis work, and various replacements, all while maintaining its original powerplant. Having covered less than 500 miles in the past three years, this Land Rover is ready for a new owner who will give it the regular use it deserves.
