Arguably one of the most iconic and well-regarded British vehicles ever produced, the Land Rover has earned a strong reputation for its rugged capability and practicality. With the sheer age of these 4x4s, original examples are seldom seen these days, with a great number having required restoration over the years. 
 
 This example, however, shows off an original exterior finish, as well as a custom re-upholstered interior with plenty of new goodies to enjoy. In addition to boasting its interior and exterior finish in their own respective rights, this Land Rover performs brilliantly, thanks to the desirable turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder hiding within. 

This Land Rover has been enjoyed by 8 former keepers throughout its life, which is still a somewhat low number given the age and desirability of this now 38-year-old vehicle. Rather remarkably, the vehicle also shows off an original exterior finish, yet has received tremendous amounts of care and considerable expense in both the mechanics and interior departments over the years. 
 
 The vehicle now presents itself as a brilliant blank canvas for the lucky new buyer, who can either retain the original finish or use this well-cared-for example as the base for their next project. 

In contrast to the original finish found on the outside of the vehicle, a peek inside this Land Rover will reveal a gorgeous hand-made interior. The cabin shows off part leather seats, leather dashboard trim, modern speakers, a 3-spoke wheel, and a very swish rear seating area. 

As the original blue paintwork has also been retained within the cabin, there are of course well aged areas to note, but the new part-leather components show hardly any wear at all. Tasteful additions such as new flooring in the rear, and a black headliner complete this superb balance of both original components, and comfortable, new upholstery. 

This 90 shows off its original finish, which has aged rather tastefully over the years, now sporting a charming amount of patina and wear. Being the original finish, there are of course defects with the paint, such as minor chips, fading, and small areas of bubbling/patina. That being said, it’s a genuinely characterful finish, that contrasts fantastically with the stunning re-upholstered interior. 

Having no doubt been resprayed in white rather recently, all 5 wheels look brilliant, and sport a matching set of BF Goodrich A/T tyres, with plenty of tread left to enjoy. Moving around the vehicle, all lights appear to be free from damage, whilst the rest of the exterior sports original badging and trim pieces. 

 Buyers will be pleased to know that this Land Rover fires up and performs without a single known fault. The turbo-charged diesel lump hiding under the bonnet is still rather capable even by today’s standards, delivering more than enough power to keep up with modern traffic. All other components such as the 4x4 system, brakes, and suspension also perform exactly as intended, no doubt the result of an excellent maintenance record. 

As this Land Rover packs the more desirable factory engine from its lineup, it offers a wide range of applications. The vehicle would no doubt make a great off-roader, capable workhorse, or even a dependable commuter out on the modern roads. 

This Land Rover presents a fantastic opportunity to own one of the most capable, and iconic vehicles ever produced. This example shows off a characterful original exterior, stunning re-upholstered interior, and excellent mechanical health. Whether you’re looking for the next addition to your collection, overlanding project, or even a trusty workhorse, this is a superb choice.
