Expensive 1.5 times the price of a new car, the 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 is introduced.

This is a surprisingly high price for a 26-year-old model, even more than one and a half times the listed price of a 2023 Defender 90 ($47,700 – equivalent to 1.15 billion VND).

This special Defender was bought by a car collector in Spain last year before being exported to the United States at the beginning of 2023. The SUV has a fairly new appearance as it has been refurbished. The original green color on this off-road SUV has also been repainted in the trendy Brooklyn metallic gray color.

Although it may not compare to the new generation Defender 90, this 26-year-old SUV possesses unique characteristics that few other models have. Specifically, the vehicle has a distinctive structure with a soft black top and the upper part of the doors can be removed, the windshield can be folded down. This makes the British-branded SUV a great choice for beach trips. In addition, the car is equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels combined with 235/85 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro off-road tires.

The interior of this 1996 Defender 90 is upholstered in brown leather with suede accents. The car also has a wooden floor, Nardi Torino wooden-rimmed steering wheel, digital rearview mirror, Marshall speakers integrated into the central control panel, Pioneer head unit with Bluetooth, and two cup holders.

In terms of performance, this SUV is equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, producing 111 horsepower and maximum torque of 264 Nm. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a rear differential lock.
