This 1986 Land Rover 90 is a left-hand-drive, ex-military example that is said to have spent time in Cyprus before it was imported to the United States circa 2014. The truck was repainted in metallic gray under previous ownership, and it is powered by a 2.5-liter diesel inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes 16″ alloy wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, LED Turn Signals, roof cross bars, a removable hardtop, front bucket seats, a center console, and a heater. Work in preparation for the sale included replacing the timing belt, fuel injection pump, and right engine mount. This Land Rover 90 is now offered on consignment in Delaware by the selling dealer, with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Maryland title.

The Corris Gray color was selected to finish the aluminum body panels under previous ownership. Exterior details include a hardtop with a black roof as well as black wheel arch extensions, sliding side windows, mud flaps, checker-plate fender and rocker panel trim, roof cross bars, dual side mirrors, and LED turn signals and taillights. The high-beam wiring was repaired, and a replacement hood release cable mount was installed in August 2026. Exterior flaws include corrosion bubbles around the rear windows and around the body, cracking paint on the bottom of the left door, and aging weather seals. Additional photos of the paint and trim condition are viewable in the gallery below.

The 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with older 235/85 Adventuro Radial M/T tires, and a spare is mounted on the swing-out rear door. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. Work in 2020 included replacing the right rear hub seal and broken hub bolts. Additional service in 2022 consisted of servicing the emergency brake assembly and replacing the brake master cylinder, booster, rear shoes, and rear brake hardware. The tires are dry-rotted, and the shock bushings, rear trailing arm bushings, and radius arm bushings are deteriorating.

The front bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and interior appointments include a center console with storage and cupholders as well as a heater, alloy shift knobs, and black carpeting. There is a split on the right side of the dashboard, and the seller notes that portions of the floor are rusted.

The rear cargo area features inward-facing jump seats, along with lap belts.

A four-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 88,687 miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.5-liter diesel inline-four was factory rated at 68 horsepower and 117 lb-ft of torque. Work in August 2026 consisted of replacing the timing belt, fuel injection pump, and assorted fuel lines, along with an oil change, and installing a used replacement engine mount on the right side. An oil leak is noted from the oil pan area.

Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The rear exhaust components were replaced in 2022. The rear frame crossmember is rusted through, and additional photos of rust on the underside and frame are viewable in the gallery.
