This truck is powered by the 300 TDI, Land Rover's well-regarded turbocharged inline-four diesel paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, a combination that defines the utilitarian character the Defender was built around. At 158,000 actual miles, the 300 TDI is well within its stride for a properly maintained unit, as these engines are known for longevity when serviced consistently. The exterior presents in green over a tan leather interior -- an understated, classically British pairing that suits the platform well. Mechanically, the truck runs on 16-inch alloy wheels with General tires and retains stock disc brakes and suspension, keeping it honest to its original specification. The absence of air conditioning is worth noting for Florida ownership, though the heating system is confirmed functional. This is the right choice for a collector or enthusiast seeking an unmodified, diesel-powered Defender 90 to use, enjoy, and build from -- or simply preserve as-is.\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: 158,000\u003cbr\u003eMileage Verification: Actual Miles \u003cbr\u003eFuel Type: Diesel\u003cbr\u003eTransmission: Manual (3 Pedals)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Forward Gears: 5\u003cbr\u003eEngine: 300 TDI\u003cbr\u003eExterior Color: Green\u003cbr\u003eInterior Color: Tan\u003cbr\u003eState of Registration: Florida \u003cbr\u003eVehicle Location: Wilton Manors \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\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\u003cbr\u003eWheel Brand and Model: Std wheels alloy\u003cbr\u003eTire Brand, Model, and Size: general\u003cbr\u003eType of Brakes: stock disc\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExterior \u0026amp; Interior: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather\u003cbr\u003eInterior Material: Leather \u003cbr\u003eInterior Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eWorking Heat: Yes \u003cbr\u003eWorking Air Conditioning: No\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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":54244789682495,"sku":null,"price":24995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8095\/8783\/files\/1998-land-252520rover-defender-90_4.jpg?v=1785977516","url":"https:\/\/curatedovrlnd.com\/products\/1998-land-rover-defender-90","provider":"CURATED OVR LND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
