1989 LAND ROVER 90 – Refurbished European-Market SUV with Upgraded V8

This 1989 Land Rover 90 is presented in Java Black with a distinctive black and orange interior. Originally a European-market SUV, it is currently titled and located in Florida. The vehicle was refurbished by Land Rover specialists Arkonik for the artist Luis Fonsi, known for “Despacito.” Notably, the factory 3.5-liter V8 engine has been replaced with a 4.6-liter V8, complemented by several performance and aesthetic upgrades. The Carfax report, starting from 2018, shows no accidents or mileage inconsistencies. The Land Rover 90, introduced in 1984 as a successor to the Series III, features a permanent four-wheel-drive system and coil spring suspension, with power delivered through a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
