46K-Mile 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS

The exterior finish is Arles Blue with an Alpine White roof and black exterior accents, trim, bumpers, and body panels. The Alpine White roof includes alpine windows and the tilting sunroof. Dealer-installed accessories include an A-frame nudge bar, a safari roof basket with rear access ladder, and side steps. The Carfax reports the vehicle was inspected following an accident or other incident on February 4, 2003; further detail on the nature or extent of that incident is not available in the report. Under current ownership, the original eyebrow wheel arches and side steps were replaced with Pro Line factory-specification parts sourced from Rovers North. Light fading is noted on the hood and upper wings. Wheels are 16x7 5-spoke NAS units finished in silver, wrapped in 265/75R16 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires.

Two front bucket seats and four rear folding seats are finished in Ash Gray Twill vinyl, paired with gray dash, door trim, and carpeting, with black all-weather Defender-branded floor mats. Under current ownership, the original stereo was replaced with an Alpine CDE-143BT receiver with Bluetooth and a single CD player, Kenwood speakers, and a Clarion six-disc CD changer, enabling hands-free Bluetooth calling. A factory-installed tilting sunroof and air conditioning are fitted. A driver's seat bottom upholstery repair is noted.

The seller reports this example retains its original powertrain, the only configuration offered on 1997 NAS Defender 90s: the Rover 4.0L electronically fuel-injected V8, paired with the ZF 4-speed automatic transmission, Rover LT230 full-time four-wheel-drive dual-range transfer case with center-locking differential, a Rover 2-pin solid front axle, and a Rover 24-spline solid rear axle. Suspension is coil spring with hydraulic shocks, with power steering and a steering stabilizer, and four-wheel power disc brakes. The truck has covered 46,243 miles, averaging roughly 1,595 miles per year over 29 years. The seller reports the truck has been stored indoors under current ownership, with maintenance including annual oil and filter changes, mechanical inspections, a battery replacement, and recommended fluid, filter, and wearable-item service.
