I’ve had my Defender 90 since mid ’10 – same as the one in the pic but in black. To date it’s mostly only seen city driving but loading stuff in and out for work is great.

Agree with one of the previous comments with a downside being the factory stereo but that was an easy change along with the speakers.

Few issues with cold starts on cold morning, but to be honest, it seems to be part of the fun of owning it!

Wouldn’t trade it for anything else on the market at the moment, including a Wrangler (owned one of them from new for nearly 5 yrs and it was falling to bits by the end of it)

Hey keith, where you getting your defender from for that price. I’m interested and on the lookout for a good dealer that won’t jerk me around. Cheers Mick.

a few test drives and I pick mine up on Saturday, no use for the old TD5 110, so 280K Km of a working life, so time for a smaller off road tourer!
more later!!

My first car was a 1949 80″ S1, absolutely brilliant car, miss it to this day. It took all my p-plater abuse and neglect in its stride and it was already 40+ years old and looked as if it had a hard life. All the ‘just so stories’ from the Toyozealots make me laugh, if only they actually driven one.

Am tempted by the Defender 90.Yet to drive one.I expect it is a like a light truck to drive but with power steering & air conditioning,I would feel under no hardship.
No over the top electronics I don’t need or want.
Aluminium body & a 2.4 turbo Diesel can’t be all bad.
Would like to know of Keith’s real life experiences with it.Price seems to be right to me.
