This 1997 NAS Defender 90 Soft Top in Beluga Black, carrying Badge #0946, is a Southern vehicle through and through as it has been owned in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama its entire life and kept with the same owner since 2010. With 108,000 miles on the odometer and a clean 3-owner Carfax report, it’s a well-maintained example with a well-documented history.

Under the hood is the 4.0L V8 paired with a ZF automatic transmission and Land Rover’s full-time four-wheel-drive with selectable low range. The factory specification is a strong one: a factory brush guard with HELLA fog lights up front, side running steps, and rear lamp guards, along with the full (7)-piece Land Rover diamond plating package for added rugged character and protection. It rides on 16-inch factory alloy wheels wrapped in 265/75/16 BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tires, ready for whatever the road or the trail throws at it.

Inside, a rear bench seat keeps the cabin comfortable and practical for passengers. Best of all, this Defender comes both ways: a removable fiberglass hardtop for closed-up, all-weather driving and a BESTOP vinyl soft top for open-air cruising when the weather turns. A genuinely versatile, turn-key ’97 NAS Defender 90 that looks as good as it drives and is ready for your next adventure.
