1989 Land Rover Defender 90 3.9 EFI Automatic, finished in elegant Epsom Green Metallic

For sale is a well-preserved and mechanically upgraded 1989 Land Rover Defender 90 3.9 EFI Automatic, finished in elegant Epsom Green Metallic. This example has had just one owner since 2003, and comes with a fully documented maintenance history covering more than two decades of careful stewardship. It represents a rare blend of originality, usability, and thoughtful enhancements—perfect for anyone looking for a true Defender experience with the added comfort of modern upgrades.

The car is powered by a strong 3.9L EFI V8 engine, which has been completely overhauled, with all necessary parts replaced in both the block and cylinder heads. Paired with an automatic transmission, this Defender delivers smooth, confident performance both on and off the road. Mechanically, it’s in excellent condition and has been maintained to a high standard throughout its life.

This Defender also features a number of tasteful and functional upgrades designed to enhance its rugged capabilities and everyday practicality. It rides on an Equipe 4x4 suspension kit, with matching Equipe 4x4 front bumper, rear corner bumpers, and front legs, all of which add to its confident stance and off-road readiness. A rear disc brake conversion improves stopping power, while a complete stainless steel headers and exhaust system delivers both durability and a classic V8 growl. Additional features include a WARN Hi/Lo headlight system, Westfalia towbar, and a reinforced secondary fuel tank for extended range on longer journeys.

The exterior is fitted with Land Rover folding steps for the driver, passenger, and rear access. Inside, the vehicle retains its original hardtop and interior lining, while offering improved comfort thanks to air conditioning, a heated windshield, Land Rover rubber floor mats with insulation, and soundproofing panels for both the driver and passenger.

With 186,000 kilometers on the odometer, this Defender 90 has proven its reliability while continuing to turn heads wherever it goes. She is ready for its next chapter with an enthusiast who values honest mechanical integrity, classic styling, and a true driving experience.
