Based on our comparable sales data, a 1987 Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon generally trades in the $18,000–$31,000 range depending on configuration and condition.

For this specific vehicle at $34,880, here’s how it stacks up:

The Good:

  • It’s an “Original & Highly Original” example — this is desirable for collectors who value authenticity over restorations
  • Very reasonable mileage (~89K miles) for a nearly 40-year-old Defender
  • The Red/Beige-Tan color combination is classic and appealing

The Pricing Reality Check:

  • This is a Right Hand Drive (RHD) import, and our data shows RHD Defenders consistently trade lower than LHD (left-hand drive) examples in the US market
  • Recent comparable RHD sales have ranged from $25,500–$27,500 (2022–2024)
  • The $34,880 asking price sits $7,000+ above that RHD range
  • By comparison, LHD examples have sold for $17,750–$33,500, with the higher end going to very clean examples

The Verdict: At $34,880, this RHD example is priced at the high end of the overall market. You might be able to negotiate a bit closer to that $27,000–$28,000 sweet spot for RHD originals.
