The Defender 90 diesel was never officially sold new in the United States, making any example here a genuine grey-market import -- and a diesel-manual variant is among the most sought-after configurations. This one carries the 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel paired with a five-speed manual, finished in Epsom Green over a grey cloth interior. At 90,370 actual miles, it sits at a reasonable point in its service life for a platform known for longevity when properly maintained. The non-stock Freestyle 16-inch wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich 235\/85R16 tires are a sensible and capable upgrade over the original equipment, offering improved all-terrain performance without straying from the Defender's utilitarian character. A recently installed radiator provides some near-term mechanical peace of mind. Air conditioning is non-functional, which is worth factoring in for Texas summers, though it's a known and addressable item on these trucks. This Defender suits a collector or enthusiast who wants a right-hand-drive diesel example to use, enjoy, and maintain -- not a trailer queen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out the pictures in the gallery \u0026amp; use the contact form to get in touch with us and the seller to ask questions and\/or make an offer for this vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYear: 1998\u003cbr\u003eMake: Land Rover \u003cbr\u003eModel: Defender 90\u003cbr\u003eDrive: 4X4\u003cbr\u003eMiles: 90,370\u003cbr\u003eMileage Verification: Actual Miles \u003cbr\u003eFuel Type: Diesel\u003cbr\u003eTransmission: Manual (3 Pedals)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Forward Gears: 5\u003cbr\u003eEngine: 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder\u003cbr\u003eExterior Color: Epsom Green\u003cbr\u003eInterior Color: Grey\u003cbr\u003eState of Registration: Texas \u003cbr\u003eVehicle Location: Plano, TX \u003cbr\u003eVIN: Available Upon Request \u003cbr\u003eTitle: Clean \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Transmission:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEngine Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eTransmission Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain, Suspension, Tires \u0026amp; Brakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrivetrain Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eSuspension Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eWheel Size and Offset: 16 inch\u003cbr\u003eWheel Brand and Model: Freestyle\u003cbr\u003eTire Brand, Model, and Size: BFGoodrich 235\/85R16\u003cbr\u003eType of Brakes: Stock\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExterior \u0026amp; Interior: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterior Material: Cloth \u003cbr\u003eInterior Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eWorking Heat: Yes \u003cbr\u003eWorking Air Conditioning: No\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecent Maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecently installed a new radiator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel History:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Defender 90 arrived in 1990 as part of Land Rover's transition from the Series III nomenclature, inheriting the 90-designation from its short wheelbase predecessor. Built on the company's proven front-engine, four-wheel-drive architecture, the 1990–2016 generation maintained the utilitarian squared-body aesthetic with flat aluminum panels, side-hinged rear door, and minimal overhangs optimized for off-road capability. Engine options evolved throughout the production run, beginning with Series III carry-overs and progressively introducing modern diesel powerplants including the 300Tdi and later Td5 engines. By 1998, when the 300Tdi was entering its final production year, the Defender 90 remained largely unchanged in its fundamental design—a spartan, hard-working platform with live axles front and rear, solid engineering prioritized over creature comforts, and proven durability across military, commercial, and private operations globally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Land Rover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54786373714239,"sku":null,"price":39950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8095\/8783\/files\/Rightside.jpg?v=1785458116","url":"https:\/\/curatedovrlnd.com\/products\/1998-land-rover-defender-90-4-x-4","provider":"CURATED OVR LND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
