Authoring some of the most sought-after SUVs ever made, there is a long line of enthusiasts eager to get their hands on a classic Land Rover. Today, we bring you this right-hand-drive 1991 Land Rover Defender 90. Decked out in proud Arles Blue and complemented by a white top, this Defender is equipped with sidesteps, a sunroof, and the confidence to tackle an African safari.
Inside, we find a utilitarian grey cloth interior featuring a pair of bucket seats separated by a center locking console. A simple, four-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel sits just ahead of a large 110 mph speedometer and smaller fuel and temperature gauges, with a litany of warning lights ready to fill up the rest of the dashboard. An upgraded Kenwood AM/FM/AUX head unit offers up satellite and Bluetooth connectivity. In back, the optional side-mounted bench seating allows for a group outing, and a wealth of cargo space that is easily accessed by the massive rear door.
Under the hood, we are treated to a 2.5-liter 200 Tdi Turbo Diesel inline-four-cylinder engine. From the factory, this motor made approximately 107 horsepower at 3,900 rpm and 188 pound-feet of torque at a low 1,800 rpm. That turbocharged power is routed through a tried-and-true five-speed manual transmission before being sent out to either the rear or all four corners, where 16-inch steel wheels wait, shod in BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires measuring 235/85R-16.
