Have a good luck round it.  My uncle had a D reg 90 and it was well looked after but if you lifted the bonnet the bulkhead was shot, all powdery around the door hinges aswell.  I wouldn't buy it, too old.

if any one cares to look through the mags you will find that 90's are holding there prices,

there are some cheap ones about but not specced like that,

i got a B plate 90 on a replacement chassis which i fitted a TDI into & get offers to sell it regularly,id have a proper look round it but wouldnt ignore it cos of the age

I agree with Mikee, 90's hold their value.

If its got a 200tdi and the chassis and bulkhead are all in good nick with all that gear on I dont think you'd get much better

It is down to condition of the vital bits though.  Look at the truck, forget the bits  :wink:

Nothing would suprise me.... I've looked at Land Rovers whose owners have spent loads on paint jobs, or engines... but never noticed the chassis is made of filler.....

Looking at the picture....

Safety Devices Roll Cage:  Might be, but doesn't look like standard mounting to me... unless the cage is a modified (110") Tomb Raider Cage.
Would be interesting to see if it was actually mounted to the chassis!!!

Doors are of a post '86 90" or 110".... which may have bad oxidation judging by the acres of chequer plate attached to them...

Passenger wing, if air intake hole isn't bodged is also post '86. (not that this really matters)

8 Previous owners (again not that this matters).


IMHO the price is a little bit steep... if it had been rebuilt on a galvanised chassis or similar then it would be better.

In all honesty, that sort of money would get you a 'standard' 200Tdi... with extra's.

Off road kit, whilst nice, wouldn't justify the increase in price over a standard C reg 90".

The 200Tdi conversion... whilst nice... has it been done properly, has the engine got numbers, any history???


Not saying it's a bad motor.... but at the same time don't go jumping with both feet.

It's "worth" whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Landy's are a bit like houses in that respect, often bought with the heart, not the head.
They are also a bit house shaped, now I come to think about it.  :wink:

Just to throw another view into the mix -

I had a C reg 110 which I wound up cutting up & selling as spares.  I could not shift it at £1000 - but got over 3k for the spares!

When we cut it up, although there was a bit of rot in the rear x-member, the rest of the chassis was like new and so was the bulkhead.

Another D reg land rover with a similar history but treated with more love(both ex electricity board) I've seen is rotten all over - the bulkhead has almost vanished!.  A few people have said that something changed, probably the grade / manufacturer of the steel between C & D.

If you look around, you can see more A,B & C's with sound bulkheads than D or E's

This one was over-priced IMHO - but If I were buying another 90, I would seriously consider a C reg or older.  I now have a G and an L reg.  Despite gallons of wax-oil injected into the bulkhead, neither is in as good nick as the 110's bulkhead.
