Used Car of the Day: 1991 Land Rover Defender 90

Today we have a lovely right-hand drive 1991 Land Rover Defender 90.


Imported from the U.K. and registered in Vermont, this one is now located in New York state and has a 2.5-liter diesel and five-speed manual transmission.

I don't see a mileage in the ad -- but I do see the ask of $16,500.

If this sort of thing interests you, as it does me, click here to check it out.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Time was I was moving to southern Africa, and I would have killed to have a shot to buy this.

    Tim...excellent pick. Guarantee that if it hasn't been scooped up yet, it will soon. Pure safari vehicle right here. Not sure how easy parts would be to get shipped over (given what an Australian friend has to go through each time he has to order a special part form Germany for his rare Benz, it verges on a time consuming, customs headache nightmare), but this would be worth it.

      This vehicle as a non-essential toy would be fun to own. Even tinkering and wrenching would be fun.


  • ToolGuy If these guys opened a hotel outside Cincinnati I would go there to sleep, and to dream.
  • ToolGuy Michelin's price increases mean that my relationship with them as a customer is not sustainable. 🙁
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I wonder if Fiat would pull off old world Italian charm full of well intentioned stereotypes.
  • Chelsea I actually used to work for this guy
  • SaulTigh Saw my first Cybertruck last weekend. Looked like a kit car...not an even panel to be seen.
