As much as I loved it, my 1994 Defender 90 was a series of mechanical and design paper cuts that got me to sell it.

The engine was great, basically a Buick V8.

- The Cats went at 34K.
- Leaked like a colander and sensitive electronics would get wet and fry like bacon. I ended up moving them with the help of a friend of mine.
- Rust was a constant struggle.
- The soft top was a nightmare to take down - 30 minute job.
- A/C went twice in the four years I owned it.
- Aluminum hardtop (rare item) was like putting together a bicycle on Christmas morning without instructions. Once on, the roll bar had to be modified. I had one made.
- Wind tunnel noisy.
- Ate brakes like I eat Tapas.
- So much more.

FWIW, I'd probably still have it except for the fact the kids really couldn't both ride in it. The rear fold downs were a joke and I considered them unsafe.
