Overview
This is a properly rebuilt yet exceptionally original 1984 Land Rover 90, offering the rare combination of long-term structural security and genuine factory authenticity.
With just 59,200 verified miles, this vehicle has not been worn out, modified, or over-restored. It retains its original body panels and original factory paint, giving it a level of originality that is now extremely difficult to find on early Ninety models.
Rebuild & Mechanical Condition
The vehicle has been rebuilt correctly with longevity in mind:
- Rebuilt on a Wye Valley Garage fitted Marseland galvanised chassis
- New wiring loom fitted during the rebuild
- Retains the original 2.25 petrol engine
- Manual gearbox
- Drives as it should, with the honest mechanical feel these early Land Rover 90s are known for
This was not a cosmetic refresh — the work has been carried out properly and transparently.
Provenance & Documentation
The entire rebuild has been fully documented on YouTube, providing clear evidence of the work carried out and the standard achieved.

In addition, the vehicle comes with a strong level of original documentation and equipment, including:
- Original factory body panels and paint
- Original equipment supplied with the vehicle
- Original Land Rover factory build sheet
- Supporting paperwork confirming mileage and history
This level of provenance is rarely seen and adds genuine long-term value.
Historic Status
The chassis number 7AA216929 places this vehicle firmly within the earliest production run of the Land Rover Ninety. Factory documentation (the build sheet) confirms 5th April 1984 build date, during the model’s first full year of production. Early petrol-engined cars were typically used as working vehicles and suffered high attrition, making survivors from this period uncommon. In the context of publicly documented early-Ninety chassis numbers discussed among enthusiasts, this example sits towards the earlier end of surviving vehicles and is particularly notable for retaining its original factory build sheet along with all its original panels and paint.
The vehicle is registered as a Historic Vehicle, meaning it benefits from zero road tax.
Although MOT exemption applies, it will be sold with a fresh MOT for peace of mind.
Why This One Is Different
Many restored Land Rovers lose their originality in the process. This example has been rebuilt where it matters most — chassis and electrics — while retaining its factory panels, paint, and character.
It is ideal for someone who wants a proper early Land Rover 90, not an over-restored showpiece or an unknown project.
Optional Final Detailing / Buyer Input
As the vehicle reaches the final detailing stage of its rebuild (as discussed in the supporting video), there is a limited opportunity for the incoming buyer to request minor final preferences before completion.
This could include items such as:
- Trim or finishing details
- Minor bolt-on components
- Presentation-related choices
This is entirely optional — the vehicle will be completed to a high standard regardless — but it offers an opportunity for the buyer to add a small personal touch at this stage.
Any requested changes would be discussed and agreed prior to completion.
Summary
A rare opportunity to purchase a low-mileage, highly original early Land Rover 90, rebuilt correctly and documented transparently, with none of the usual unknowns.
