RESERVE-REMOVED 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS

Description

This is a 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS (North American Specification) that was actually first sold new in Japan. It was imported to Canada by a dealership located in Montreal before being acquired by the current seller in 2020. Adorned in a white exterior with gray cloth and vinyl seating, it boasts a robust 4.0-liter V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.

Notable features include 16-inch five-spoke wheels, LED headlights, power front windows, rear jump seats, a pop-up sunroof, air conditioning, an aftermarket steering wheel, a Scan Gauge vehicle monitor, and a locking storage box. Its history is documented with a clean Carfax report and Quebec registration under the seller's name, showing no accidents or damage, with initial records dating back to February 2020.
 

Inside, the front bucket seats feature patterned gray cloth upholstery with vinyl sides and backing, accompanied by amenities such as air conditioning, power windows, Scosche speakers, a locking center console, Airguide compass, mobile-device mount, and LED ambient lighting under the dashboard. The leather-wrapped steering wheel, mounted on a quick-release hub, frames a 200-km/h speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. However, the seller acknowledges some malfunctions with the odometer, fuel level, and coolant temperature gauges, with a digital ScanGauge vehicle monitor affixed to the center dashboard.

The odometer reads 65k kilometers (~40k miles), with approximately 2,500 kilometers added under current ownership, though the true mileage remains unknown. At the rear, the cabin features two inward-facing jump seats, a locking storage box, gray carpeting, and a fire extinguisher mounted to the roll bar, albeit with a tear in the trim on the rear door panel.
