Now up for auction is this exceptional 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS finished in Beluga Black. Marking one of only 1,190 North American Specification (NAS) soft top examples produced for the 1995 model year, this highly collectible Defender 90 underwent a full restoration in 2016 which included a full repaint, rebuilt and resealed axles, all-new braking and suspension components, and a refurbished interior. With its sought-after NAS configuration and recent major restoration, this Defender 90 is now being offered by its seller in Florida with a rebuilt title, restoration records, and the original heated seats and steering wheel.
During the restoration, this Defender was completely refinished in Beluga Black using PPG paint and clear coat as well as a Ceramic Pro protective coating. The fender flares, headlights bezels, and grilles were also painted to match. Noteworthy details include side steps, a tubular rear bumper, a front rubber push bar, a full-size swing-out spare wheel, and an Exmoor trim soft top with roll-up side windows. HID headlights have also been installed along with LED turn signals, 3M Crystalline window tint, and Terrafirma beadlock wheels that feature billet wheel spacers and BF Goodrich A/T tires bearing approximately 500 miles of use.
The cabin has been redone with new floor insulation, carpeting, and Corbeau Moab front seats. Other additions include a Nardi leather steering wheel, a Sony radio with upgraded speakers, and a Viper Security alarm system with remote key fobs. The NAS Defender is also factory equipped with air conditioning, power door locks, a safari roll cage, rear bench seats, and power windows. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional, and the original steering wheel will be included in the sale along with freshly reupholstered factory heated seats.
