1997 Land Rover NAS Defender 90

This is my North American Specification Defender 90 in Arles Blue, adge #2496 (of 2500, ot including the LE's I believe). Arguably one of the most sought after years, nd colors. I have owned it just over 15 months and driven it probably less than 3k miles. I have three Land Rovers and not enough space, o unfortunately I feel this one should be sold on so someone else can enjoy it.
Carfax shows this to have spent its life in the Southeastern and Southwestern US, o corrosion is minimal and I have tried my best to show the issues in the attached photos. The rear door has corrosion, nd I had some welding done to strengthen it, long with installing a Mantec rear swing away tire carrier, ut it is still very serviceable. Carfax does list light damage (cosmetic) to the passenger rear panel in 2000. The only thing I see that might indicate that is the clear coat is failing in this area. It does have an exhaust leak and the tailpipe is a bit short. The headliner is not perfect and it does leak fluids as is normal for these. As they say, if they aren't leaking, hey are empty". Rear window washer doesn't work and front windscreen has weird crack (additional pics) but should pass inspection - it did in March for me.
The 90 is largely stock but there are a couple things I have had done to it that are worth mentioning.It came with improved oil lines (a must!) and I re-trimmed, oam included, he front seats with Ex-Moor kits. I also had the radio rebuilt and at the same time added an iPod auxiliary connection. The Hella auxiliary lights on the bumper are included and while the wires are there, he lights are not hooked up. The previous owner installed a battery cut off switch. It has Rockware rear trailing arms. I also installed the previously mentioned Mantec rear swing away tire carrier. The tires are BFG 265/75/R16's and have plenty of life left. It has new Interstate battery as of early 2016. It has been worked on by a local Land Rover independent shop where I had the following done in 2015: new brake master reservoir and brake system bled, ew pitman arm, urge valve, ads, otors and bearings repacked. Most recently (2016) the differential fluid in both diffs has been renewed.
I have more photos, ust ask. I also have two sets of keys for it. I can be reached at 8 01.8 15. 9959 and am happy to answer any and all questions...except for the one where people want to know the reserve. I don't know why, just won't answer that one.
I accept wire transfer from a known NA bank or cash in person. Paypal deposit of $500 due upon winning the auction. I have it listed elsewhere and so can end this auction at any time. U.S. sale only please as I am not interested in dealing internationally.
I have made every effort to describe this 90 to the best of my ability. That being said I might have forgotten something, o ask many, any questions. Run a Carfax and I highly recommend viewing in person, r ask me to take it to a garage to have it inspected if you cannot view in person (this is all at your cost, s is shipping). The 90 will not be released until I am paid in full. Happy to arrange pickup with your shipper of choice. It is sold where-is, s-is with no warranty expressed or implied. It has been a fun D90, nd there is nothing in the world like driving one, ts just time for me to move on. Enjoy!
