1995 NAS Land Rover D90

1995 North American Specification (NAS) Land Rover Defender 90

This Black/Black NAS D90 is a rare find! It's one of only 1190 Soft Tops made in 1995 for the US market - '95 being the lowest production run of the three years (94,95, and 97) NAS D90s - and the Black Defenders seem to be the toughest color to find. It's got some nice options/upgrades such as the diamond plate wingtops and sills, safari rack with ladder, step bumper with class iii hitch, rear flip and fold forward facing bench seat, upgraded stereo and speakers, Land Rover fiberglass removable hardtop, Land Rover rubber mats, tinted windows, and more. So let's move to condition:

Outside: As you can see from the photos, this Defender has typical imperfections consistent with age/miles but overall it's really a great looking truck. I've included detailed photos of all panels so you can see the chips, nicks, dings, etc. More close-ups can be emailed if you need them. It appears 90% of the paint is original judging by the slight "checking" of the paint on tops of the panels. Only the left rear quarter doesn't have that trait, so we believe that was repainted at some point over the last 19 years. This is of particular interest because this Defender has salvage history (we've researched and understand it was a clerical error, but haven't been able to verify either way) but it's obvious to us it's never been hit. There have been chip touch-ups of course, and it looks like the bumpers were painted to keep them looking fresh, but over all a very original example. The upgrades like diamond plate wingtops/sills and safari rack really make this Defender look aggressive... definitely a head turner!

Inside: The inside of this D90 is in good condition. It has Land Rover rubber mats that are fairly new, and the floors underneath are clean and appear rust free. There are seat covers protecting the front seats and the rear flip forward bench seat. There's wear and a split on the original driver seat, but the outer covers are in great shape. The dash is in good shape, as are the door panels. Few flaws are the driver door pocket is missing, shift knob is a bit loose, trim around the glove box handle is cracked, and the right skylight is missing. The prior owner upgraded the factory sound system to a Pioneer radio and MTX speakers that sound good along with some LED floorboard lighting that helps you see things inside at night.

Mechanical: You read the mileage correctly - 151,000 miles and counting. A testament to how durable these Defenders are. It also helps show why they've become so collectible. If you're not familiar with Defenders you should know to be wary of "low miles" rigs as they've often had odometer tampering or replacement. There's many ways to tell... but you don't have to suspect that with this one (obviously)! This D-90 is fairly stock and hasn't been heavily modified. It runs and drives great. The 5 speed transmission shifts well up/down gears, the clutch feels tight, and the transfer case hi & low (plus center locking differential) all seem to work well - although I haven't tested it off road. The brakes are good with no pull, and this Landy tracks straight going down the road. It has a fairly new NRP stainless steel exhaust system, battery, and other misc services done. Tread is 50% and the tires are a bit dry rotted... but we will put NEW tires on if the Buy Now option is used. There's a slight oil leak that looks like it's at the filter, but over all it's a very tight Defender that you'll be able to drive and enjoy for many years to come.

In closing, I've tried to provide an honest forthright description of this Defender, but please remember it's nearly 20 years old and I am not an expert on these. I invite all interested buyers to inspect this Defender or I can drop it off at Land Rover for you to have a pre-purchase inspection done. If you have any questions or need additional photos, please email and I'll get back to you ASAP.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds Â– AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Â– The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced today a historic commitment by 20 automakers representing more than 99 percent of the U.S. auto market to make automatic emergency braking a standard feature on virtually all new cars no later than NHTSA's 2022 reporting year, which begins Sept 1, 2022. Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
