1997 NAS D90 4.0 V8

We acquired this vehicle from the original owner in Phoenix.

After a month of recommissioning work it is nearly ready for market. Probably heading to Bring a Trailer in the next few weeks.

Get in touch if you want to save the gymnastics of an auction.

69k miles - single owner - exceptional condition

Just a little bit of what we’ve been up to.

1. Something very very special indeed - put 600 miles on this around England this week. Td5 with extra sauce and a next level custom project is nearly ready for delivery.

2. A straightforward sourcing job with a bit of a spruce up to be ready for a customer in Maine. Td5 with a suspension, brake and fuel system refresh.

3. Oh my lord. What a great truck. 300tdi Left Hand Drive Wolf build. Superb vehicle and available. Pic in the industrial north midlands yesterday. After a good long test run.

4. Nice and clean Italian D90 300tdi - a bit of a project with a few jobs for the new owner to deal with but priced accordingly. Bargain.

5. Can’t believe no one has snapped this up at the new price. Beautiful build and another great deal. See the website.

6. Just delivered to a family in Phoenix. Td5 left hand drive swapped, gorgeous build. Get in touch if you want something like this.

7. Just landed in Tucson from Devon. Superb build which was treated to a frame off restoration by previous owner. Great value truck.

8. Last but not least. 83k mile has ac, drives beautifully. Very fast for a Defender.

There are more but here is a small window into some of our latest work.

Have other vehicles on the website

Stay classy and contact us through the website if you’d like more information about any of these or would like to talk about a build.

Three trucks just sold and delivered or on their way to excited new owners.

The world feels pretty chaotic right now.

If you are unsure. The answer is:

‘Yes, absolutely I should buy a Defender from Sonoran Rovers’

More inventory arriving shortly and plenty more in stock in Tucson

And we love trades!

I’m really falling for this 2001 Td5 Disco 2

It’s been our go to driver as we shake it down this summer in Arizona.

Why?

•Auto box (my clutch foot takes a break)
•cold factory AC
•superb fuel economy - between 20 and 30mpg depending how and where you drive
•super smart clean paint
•spent life in Oman so the chassis is great
•interior is nice and clean
•great on the highway - have had up at 85 easy.

Best thing for our customers is the price.

21k firm / for a Defender with this spec and ability you would pay 3 x that.

These are hard to find and sought after in the European market.

A decent one like this would cost around 15k usd the you have to pay for inspections and sourcing fees and export and duty. Hard to get it home for less than 25k.

This one is here now and has already had 3000 in maintenance done by us. New Intercooler,new ac dryer and condenser and over 500 miles of USA shake down use so far.

Yes you can pick up a nice USA spec d2 for half this but not a Td5 ! These are rare here and have gone for over 30k from some specialty dealers.

Note - includes a $2k credit for new front and rear bumpers. Both are intact but cracked. Can’t decide what to do so will let the new owner decide.

This would make a really great base for an overland build. Or a very nice smart SUV just for running around in.

What a spectacular week up in Ouray at the Solihull Society national rally.

Drove this Defender Wolf up from Tucson and heading back today.

What other dealers show and test their inventory this way.

We test every truck we sell to the limit so our customers can feel secure buying from us.

New inventory all the time and we are super interested in trade deals.

Really fell in love with this one out in the mountains. The security of all the reinforced systems and crucial components is a huge peace of mind in tough conditions.

Reinforced chassis
24 volt starts on the button
Reinforced axels
Low mile 300tdi
Full internal roll cage

Get in touch, it’s very likely we have the perfect Defender for you.

Name that mountain in the comments

Something a little different here. Our Son Liam did this shoot on our 1998 300tdi D90

Aside from being in superb mechanical shape this truck also looks super cool and Liam captured it nicely.

Liam grew up riding around in these trucks since he was 5, all over the world. He’s got a great eye and is becoming a decent drone pilot too so you will start seeing some of that.

Scroll to the end to see the young fella himself.

47k USD for this truck

Super clean and low mile example

Scroll to the end for a pics of a few other vehicles we could have brought and also for sale.
