The NAS is a 1995 North American Spec Land Rover Defender 90, #249, one of the factory V8 station wagons built for the US market. First registered in Southampton, New York, it spent 17 years in Calgary before we bought it in 2020. We saved and galvanized the original chassis, then rebuilt every system to better-than-new condition. It comes with a clean CARFAX and a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate confirming matching numbers.
