1995 Land Rover Defender for sale in San Luis Obispo CA

1995 Land Rover Defender 90 – Turbo Diesel, RHD, California Registered

British Sports Cars in downtown San Luis Obispo is pleased to present this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90, a rare and desirable example of the iconic off-roader. Imported in limited numbers, true Defender 90s are seldom seen on U.S. roads—especially in four-cylinder turbo-diesel, right-hand-drive, manual-transmission configuration.

This Defender is California registered, and as a diesel, requires no smog certification, making it exceptionally uncommon and highly sought after among collectors and enthusiasts.

Condition & Mechanical Highlights

This vehicle has been very well serviced, with extensive recent work performed to ensure reliability and drivability. Both the engine and suspension have been thoroughly gone through, providing confidence for on-road cruising as well as off-road adventures. It runs and drives fantastic—exactly what you’d expect from a properly maintained Defender.

Exterior & Body

The paint and body show some wear and patina typical of an off-road–capable vehicle of this age. While not perfect cosmetically, the imperfections are consistent with how these trucks are used and valued: honest, rugged, and ready for enjoyment. Overall, it presents well and retains its authentic Defender character.
