1984 300TDI Defender 90 D90 w/galvanized frame & extras PRICE update $35K

[Npt90]

Time to let her go, for sale is my "1984" "D90". Quotations because there is little if anything left of the original vehicle since the rebuild. Closer spec would be a 95 300TDI except with everything replaced in the last several years

I purchased this defender in 2010 from the owner in Northern Ireland, imported it myself and drove it for a few years when I had transmission issues. I began weighing options and decided to have the truck re-built with a 300TDI engine and new chassis with fresh paint. I got to work replacing all the wiring and began adding components to make this a dependable Land Rover. Truck has always had all maintenance addressed and tracks well and low and high speeds, with the replacement clutch, throw-out bearing, Turner performance head and new exhaust, it should require little but routine maintenance for the next several years.

It's my baby but I have too many projects and I have certainly made my share of memories in this vehicle, the reg plates are correct and all other documentation is in my name.

Should be address:
Remaining Polybush bushings
Tie-rod Ends

Some small paint issues that should be repairable without a major overhaul

Sadly, I just do not have the time to give this vehicle any longer as I have purchased a boat and really need to focus my energy on that, the D90 has been great and reliable transportation for the past 10 years and I am sure it will provide the new owner with many more.

Asking $41000 with all spares included

Truck is also listed on NAS-ROW and defender source where I’m a much more active member. Given the setup of the truck I thought this community may also be interested in this rig

The standard “It hasn’t sold at reduced pricing for 3 months so now it’s worth more” scenario. Hope it plays out!

PS- you might want to delete your previous comments in this post showing you would part with the vehicle for $29k just a few weeks ago.
