1988 Land Rover Defender 90 by Overfinch
Overview
Remastered by Overfinch Heritage, this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 blends classic Defender character with contemporary performance, craftsmanship, and refinement. Showcasing renowned the Land Rover tuning house’s internal restoration and coachbuilding division, this Defender’s meticulously executed build has covered just 757 miles since completion. The transformation extends well beyond cosmetics, resulting in a bespoke Defender equally suited to off-road touring, completing a collection, or everyday enjoyment. Whole-car ceramic coating, recent annual service, and a clean Carfax report lend near-new presentation inside and out, while the cost to recreate this truck's build stands at a minimum of $350k.
The cabin has been comprehensively retrimmed in fine leather with Ebony Diamond quilting, featuring heated Recaro Sportster front seats, a Puma-style dashboard, premium knurled aluminum controls, teak rear decking, piano black trim, upgraded sound insulation, and a champagne drawer with integrated cigar humidor. CarPlay and Android Auto-capable touchscreen infotainment, Bluetooth, a reverse camera, heated windshield, air conditioning, power windows, and remote central locking define fully modern comforts. Additionally, billet aluminum exterior hardware in Black Chrome, SVX-style grille treatment, electric mirrors with integrated turn signals, side steps, and a NAS-style rear bumper step complete uncompromising attention to detail.
GM LT1 6.2-liter V8 power and 8-speed automatic shifting push output through upgraded differentials, heavy-duty prop shafts/half shafts, an upgraded transfer case, locking differential, and Overfinch fast-road suspension package. Stopping power is provided by 6-piston front/4-piston rear Overfinch performance brakes, while a dual-valve stainless steel exhaust completes mechanical upgrades. Cost-no-object equipment further includes a Santorini Black roll cage, 18” Apollo alloy wheels, upgraded LED lighting, and Overfinch front bumper w/integrated daytime running lights. Two key fobs, its Overfinch build sheet, service records from current ownership, and a signature champagne drawer with cigar humidor are included in the sale.
