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.

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.

UK car output falls 14% in March, may get worse with no-deal Brexit
Tue, Apr 30 2019LONDON — British car output fell for the 10th month in a row in March, hit by a slowdown in key foreign markets, and the sector stands to suffer a lot more if the country leaves the European Union without a deal, an industry body said on Tuesday. Output tumbled by an annual 14.4 percent to 126,195 cars in March, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said. Exports, which account for nearly four out of every five cars made in Britain, were down by 13.4 percent. The SMMT said analysis it had commissioned predicted output would fall this year to 1.36 million units from 1.52 million in 2018, assuming London can secure a transition deal with the EU. If Britain has to rely instead on World Trade Organization rules for its trade with the bloc, which include import tariffs, output is forecast to fall by around 30 percent to 1.07 million units in 2021, returning to mid-1980s levels, the SMMT said. The forecasts were produced for SMMT by AutoAnalysis, a consultancy. Prime Minister Theresa May has secured a delay to the Brexit deadline until Oct. 31, giving her more time to try to break an impasse in parliament over the terms of Britain's departure from the EU. Foreign minister Jeremy Hunt traveled to Japan earlier this month to try to persuade the Japanese government and Toyota, which has a big presence in Britain, that London was determined to avoid a no-deal Brexit. "Just a few years ago, industry was on track to produce 2 million cars by 2020 — a target now impossible with Britain's reputation as stable and attractive business environment undermined," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said. "All parties must find a compromise urgently so we can set about repairing the damage and diverting energy and investment to the technological challenges that will define the future of the global industry."
