1997 Land Rover NAS Defender 90. If you are looking for a last year NAS Defender that can be used
for what it was made for then this is your truck. This is not a garage queen that has only made trips to the mall
and Starbucks. The truck has 126k miles and mechanically runs very good, idles nice and no smoke on startup, has
nice power and shifts through all the gears nicely. Since this is the last year 1997 D90 it is an automatic with
factory air conditioner.
As you can see in the pictures there has been several modifications done to the D90 over the years. Below is a
list of all those items. The body and frame are in overall nice shape for a 20 year old defender that has been
used, it does have some rust body rust in several spots (mainly on the rear lower door/gate area). This would be a
pretty easy fix as it is rust bubbling in a few spots currently. The frame has no rust and I have taken several
underside pictures to show potential buyers. Heat blows hot and AC blows cold with good pressure. I just had a
new battery put in about a month ago as well.
I have listed the items below that need to be done on the truck to take it to the next level, I just drove as is
and decided not to mess with them. This is not a Lexus everyday turn key vehicle, it is a 20 year old truck that will always
need maintenance and little things to keep it running. Also if you are looking for a perfect garage queen please
keep looking, this one is defiantly not that, it's just a solid D90 that again has been used, light off road etc.
Modifications

285/75R16 Fierce Attitude M/T tires with excellent tread life

Con's of D90
-Missing rear tail gate inside cover
-headliner was removed at some point so will need to be done or left only
-was rhino lined at some point on the interior but doesn't look great in the front driver passenger area.
-passenger role up window handle pops on and off
-I would change back the suspension to OEM or do a slee off road OME conversion, the suspension on it now is old
and pretty worn out.
-Brakes need to be gone through, it stops fine but there is a scraping noise front the rotors I assume, just didn't
get around to addressing.
- Odometer is digital and goes in and out, this was a common problem with NAS D90's
- E-brake light on dash goes off and on, no other lights on dash on.
- bubble rust areas on rear gate, right rear of D90.

Lots of Land Rovers, Jaguars and Minis actually survived that near-capsized ship
Thu, Jan 29 2015Despite a severe list to starboard, many of the 1,400 cars and SUVs aboard the 51,000-ton Hoegh Osaka are currently being recovered in salvageable condition, with video showing some of the vehicles from British brands Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini, being driven ashore under their own power. The car-carrying vessel developed a severe list on January 3 and was intentionally run aground on a sandbar between England and the Isle of Wight. It has since limped its way back to port in Southampton, where damage assessments are being conducted on both the ship and its $53-million in cargo. According to the company that owns the car carrier, the ship itself only suffered minor damage in the incident, while Car and Driver is reporting that many of the damaged vehicles will almost certainly be scrapped. Still, the fact that there are vehicles, some of which appear undamaged (look at that Defender at 0:50!), being removed from the Hoegh Osaka needs to count as a net win.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
