1997 Land Rover Defender This is one of the cleanest and best Defenders around, when I bought it, the previous owner had installed a new 4.6 liter motor from Land Rover and it is much faster than stock 4.0's. I have driven others and it really makes a difference, with the new 4.6 liter motor it really moves, not sluggish like most D90's. The 4.6 ltr is a direct replacement - It was a brand new motor ordered from Land Rover - Cost was about 10k for the new motor. The top half of the motor still has appearance of a 4.0 but the bottom half of motor is brand new - This is a fairly common upgrade. I have owned it for the last 4 years and this car has been very well cared for and any issues fixed immediately by the best Land Rover shops around. There is no rust at all on this defender its been owned by guys that have lots of money and has been well taken care of- Car was owned by Robert Erwin - He is the guy that created Medal of Honor and Rock Band Video Games. The frame and body is absolutley flawless, I have been told by several Defender people that rust is an issue with these cars, but the ones kept in dry climates are fine, which must explain the lack of any rust on this one. This Rover is a blast to drive and really turns a lot of heads. I have a lot of vintage cars, but I get more thumbs up when I drive this around than the old cars, and it really has a sense of prestige, at least here in Los Angeles, the valets always leave it parked up front with the ferrarris and lamborginis, which always makes me laugh. -Auto -Tow Package installed -A/C Works great and blows cold -Heater / Defroster works great and blows hot -White hardtop with Grey interior -2 front seats / 4 back seats - 6 person capacity 130K miles - But it has a new 4.6 liter motor 10K installed at 107K by the Rover Shop in Houston w/ warranty and receipt -120K full service done -Alpine HD Radio w. dual Ipod hookups - 7 speaker system w/ subwoofer (5k custom stereo) -New brake booster installed for better braking -New fuel pump -New wiring harness and ecu -Grill guard and light guards installed w/ diamond plate protectors -Land Rover side steps
