The Appeal

Effectively a bit of a prelaunch before the Defender name became word of law, the Ninety was proof-positive that the age-old Land Rover formula was alive, well, and very capable - with the short wheelbase making for a particularly sharp, nimble iteration of the off-roader. Needless to say, the simple mechanics and rugged personality also made an excellent base for modification.

This particular one was built as a standard pick-up, and has been extensively rebuilt into a rugged, modified station wagon that's complete with a professional paint job and a whole host of new mechanical components. We're told it's proven a very capable, reassuringly solid 4x4 throughout the owner's five-year tenure, and we're expecting it'll similarly charm the lucky new owner, no matter the environment it's delving through.
