Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon 50th Anniversary Edition ROW - Classic (1998 to 1998)

Built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Land Rover, the Defender 90 50th Anniversary was introduced in 1998 as a limited-production special edition based largely on the North American Specification (NAS) Defender 90. A total of 1,071 units were produced worldwide, with 385 allocated to the United Kingdom and the remainder distributed across Japan, Europe and the Middle East. Powered exclusively by a 4.0-liter Rover V8 producing approximately 190 hp, it was paired with a 4-speed ZF automatic transmission, making it the first Defender sold outside North America to feature an automatic gearbox. Standard equipment included air conditioning, a Safety Devices front roll cage, Freestyle alloy wheels and a numbered commemorative plaque. UK and European vehicles were finished exclusively in Atlantis Blue, a color unique to the model.Today, the 50th Anniversary is regarded as one of the most collectible factory-built Defender specials, combining NAS-inspired luxury, V8 performance and limited production in a single commemorative model.
