About this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS

VIN: SALDV2240VA114153

Highly Collectible 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS Soft Top - Monza Red
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after
collector 4x4s: a genuine North American Specification (NAS) 1997 Land
Rover Defender 90 Soft Top.
As the final year of US-import production for the classic Defender, the 1997
model is highly regarded for its distinctive features and rarity, with only 1,499
Soft Tops produced that year. •

Key Selling Points:
• Rarity & Specification: Final year of the desirable NAS-spec Defender
90. This model features the updated 4.0L GEMS fuel-injected V8 engine
and the sought-after 4-speed ZF automatic transmission (standard
on 1997 models), making it a much more comfortable and user-friendly
driver than earlier manual versions. ×
• Iconic Color Combination: Finished in the eye-catching and rare
factory color, Monza Red. It is paired with the classic Grey Twill Viny!
interior and a full soft top.
• Low Mileage: Showing only less than 86,000 original miles, this Defender is
well below the average for a vehicle of this vintage and is ready for its
next chapter of adventure.
• Condition: Maintained in very good, original condition. The
critical chassis, frame, and bulkhead areas are clean, reflecting diligent
care and storage. Well maintained and taken care of.
• Essential Features: Equipped with the factory full Safari Cage (roll
cage), full-time 4WD with a hi-low transfer case, and the desirable
factory air conditioning (a common dealer-installed option on NAS
models.
The car runs and drives superbly, reflecting its low mileage.
This NAS Defender 90 is a true enthusiast vehicle that offers a unique blend of rugged capability and collector-grade status.
