Used Car of the Day: 1990 Land Rover Defender 110 County Estate
This one is a weird one. It's a right-hand-drive, U.K.-spec 1990 Land Rover Defender 110 County Estate -- and the seller wants $90K.
You can get a nice, modern Defender for less.
Then again, this is a rare bird. It's got a diesel engine, a five-speed manual transmission, and 144,000 kilometers on the clock.
The engine has been rebuilt and much of the other mechanicals have been replaced/kept up to date. So, too, have many convenience features. There is a premium audio system and a CB radio.
The list of replacements/upgrades is long and you can click here to check it out.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

90K is smoking crack, and right hand drive is no fun at all.
$90k for a 33-year-old vehicle, and the seller posts a measly 7 photos, including zero of the underside, or closeups of any kind?
Hubris.
