Vehicle History Report
1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS – Coniston Green – 4.0 L V8 / Automatic – Lockers, On-Board Air, ASFIR Suspension, Roof Rack, Dual Optimas, 35” Tires
This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS is a factory hard-top station wagon finished in Coniston Green and powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a ZF 4-speed automatic transmission and LT230 transfer case with manually locking center differential. It’s a three-owner North American Specification Defender originally purchased out of Oklahoma and later brought to Colorado, where it was used as a weekend adventure vehicle.
I purchased the truck in August 2018, after which it was transported to Pennsylvania, where it has always been garaged in a climate-controlled facility and has never seen winter roads. It currently shows approximately 112,745 miles and remains a strong-running, well-sorted NAS D90 built for reliability and capability.

About D90 Auto Sales

Every vehicle is personally selected by the owner, Greg, who has loved cars since childhood and prides himself on offering rare, interesting, and budget-friendly vehicles. We’re not a flashy showroom — we’re a small operation focused on transparency, fairness, and great customer experiences.
Vehicle Condition and Inspection
Most of the vehicles we sell are older and pre-owned. While we thoroughly review each one and fix or disclose any known issues, we cannot guarantee the full history or future reliability of any used vehicle. Many vehicles we acquire may have been owned by multiple parties, and repairs or damage may not be fully disclosed in public records.
All vehicles are sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with no warranty expressed or implied unless otherwise stated.
We strongly recommend that you:
Personally inspect any vehicle before purchase.
Hire a third-party mechanic or inspection service at your own expense.
Review the vehicle’s history using services like Carfax or AutoCheck (with the understanding these reports may be incomplete).
Mechanic & Maintenance Disclosure:
Note: While basic maintenance and mechanical work may be performed on vehicles by the owner prior to resale, D90 Auto Sales is not a licensed repair facility, and the owner is not a certified mechanic. All work is completed in good faith using best practices, but we encourage all buyers to seek independent, third-party inspections prior to purchase.
