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.


  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Over 2 years with $7.5B Joe managed to build 8 EV charging stations. At this rate we'll have fusion powered cars before they're finished.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Define best?
  • Dartman Tesla had many first mover advantages that the fool Musk and his hand picked BOD have squandered. Like Trump he began to believe his own hype about being a “super genius “ and above the rules. Remember the take private for $420 funding in place scam? He now is trying to increase his control to 25% or he will take his AI project elsewhere. Can you imagine any other CEO attempting this type of corporate extortion/conflict of interest? Quit harping about the Q1 profits; serious investors don’t care about the past, only the future. The company is in a downward spiral.
  • 28-Cars-Later Yes because "Mustangs" are EVOs in Clown World.They're really desperate to find a use case for their faux pas. I guess track use is out? :D
  • KOKing BYD doesn't sell _consumer_ vehicles in the US. They've been selling transit buses for several years, and are building a school bus factory.
