This fabulous 1991 Defender 90 short wheel base 200 TDI was delivered as an Italian market vehicle. The vehicle first resided near San Marino on the Adriatic where it remained for the majority of its life, under its first owner. After its time here, it later moved to Prata Camportaccio, Northern Italy, near Lake Como. It is believed that the truck has been owned by a total of two keepers over its 29-year lifespan.
One for the traditionalist. It presents in near factory original specification, except for some tasteful NAS spec inspired modifications, these include freestyle alloy wheels, and a period A frame bulbar. Being finished in Portofino Red with an off-white roof, the vehicle has a real EURO – NAS fusion about it. At this time of year, it’s hard to put your finger on but it just looks right. It’s hard to believe this car spent 29 years on the Italian coast when its clearly been screaming out to give Santa a helping hand over this festive period.

The Land Rover Series range was launched in 1948 and the model, now known as the Defender, was launched in 1983 and the continuous run finished in January 2016, after 67 years. Land Rovers were inspired by the US-built Willys Jeep immediately after the war and by 1992 they claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had ever built were still in use. The Defender and Series ranges have had unique international presence throughout the production run, having been exported, manufactured and produced under licence by a number of other manufacturers in a variety of markets, to include Australia, Southern and North Africa, Turkey, Brazil, Pakistan and Malaysia, to name just a few. In 1993 Land Rover decided to take the plunge into the US market after their successful launch of the Range Rover brand in 1987 in order to offer an upmarket alternative to the Jeep Wrangler targeted at adventurous buyers. Land Rover finally had to retract their offering from the North American and Canadian markets in 1997 due to economic viability. The Defenders offered in the US during the 90’s had to be significantly modified in comparison to Land Rover’s other export markets. Subsequent federal safety regulation amendments finally withdrew the Defender from the US market entirely in 1997, with Land Rover throwing their attention towards upmarket Discovery and Range Rover models that were being built from the ground up.
