I’m sure the Land Rover 90 needs little introduction.
It was an evolution of the original Series 1 Land Rover, launched some 35 years earlier in 1948.
Up until this point, all Land Rovers were only available with leaf spring suspension, but in 1983 that all changed when the Land Rover One Ten was launched, now utilising the Range Rover independent coil spring set up.
The following year saw the short wheel-based model, now called the 90 based on its wheelbase length of 92.9 inches, launched following the lead of the 110 in having coil springs all round.
Popular with farmers & the military alike for its work horse abilities, but just as popular as an urban fashion statement.
The History
Built and then subsequently issued to the military in 1991/2, the 90 has spent time with JSCS Ashchurch, before moving on to to 3 Para and 2 Para until 1998, before moving onto 2 (City of Dundee) Sig Sqn. In the gallery you will find an image showing its military history.
There is a plate on the box below the drivers seat which gives its military registration number, so it’s service history may be traceable through the right channels.
Bought by a friend of the vendors once de-mobbed in 2012, it continued to live a relaxed life in Cornwall, doing little miles up until February of 2021 when sold to its current keeper.
Intended to be a fun vehicle for local journeys, now with a change of plan, it’s been decided that a car just for pleasure will have to wait just a little longer whilst a move to the vendors dream home takes place.
Paperwork
Just a V5c in the owner’s name & a current Mot certificate, there may also be a few bills for servicing & parts etc.
Interior
There are 2 fitted front seats & bench seats on either side in the rear, which are in great condition and probably a fairly recent fitment.
The dash is typical military issue, no bells and whistles but Land Rover functional.
Very tidy though would describe it well, good paint throughout & it would appear everything works as it should.
Behind the front seats is fitted a roll hoop as spec'd in the military soft top 90’s.
Overall, in great very tidy condition, the dash is the same as a civilian version, just with the addition of a map reading light & further control switch for convoy lights maybe.
Exterior
Well, this Land Rover must have lived a closeted life as there aren’t any bangs and scraped normally associated with work horses of this age.
It’s recently had a full coat of paint which shows the body off well but doesn’t seem to be hiding anything untoward.
It has a full new canvas tilt on the back & sits on “Wolf “heavy duty wheels.
The chassis looks to be sound as do all four outriggers, the rear cross member and the all-important bulkhead.
Brought back up to full military spec, the vendor has gone to great lengths to find the appropriate tools which are now fitted to the tailgate.
Mechanics
Recently serviced, all appears tidy under the bonnet, and it certainly started very well and changed through the gears when moved around for the photo shoot.
These Land Rover diesels are pretty bullet proof and more than capable of extremely high mileages under extreme circumstances.
The suspension coped admirably with the undulations of the field where the photos were taken, with no adverse knock of bangs from the suspension.
Appeal
The iconic Land Rover in all its forms, looks just as appealing today as it did when first launched in 1948.
It’s changed very little but just gently evolved up to when production ceased in 2016.
This early 90 is a very usable & timeless classic Land Rover which whether being used to tow the boat down to the coast, taking the kids to school or the dog for a walk, nipping to the tip with some rubbish or trotting off to a classic or military vehicle show , it’ll do the lot ….and more ……
