your LR90 brings back memories of my days in africa.

thats where i saw the LRs in flesh and fell in love with them.

as they say...The Best 4x4xFar.

shibu if you need help from dubai regarding parts of LR, do give me a call!

Mpower · 19th August 2010, 21:21

Not much of a 4x4 guy but this thing looks awesome. Great shape for an '87..plus the looks hasn't changed much. Aluminum body right?

Is that a spare tire mount on the bonnet?

How about some interior pics.
