That would be a Defender.

If it's an 89 I wouldn't count on too many parts being the same as the Defender as Santana had ended their relationship with Rover by then.

So then what would fit Tom?
I guess I didnt realize the Santana was a different company, I was under the impression it was just a different model.
Please set me straight.

Santana started out as a distributor of CKD kits for Land Rover, then started actually manufacturing under license, then went on their own. I think they also entered in to some sort of agreement with Suzuki also at some point.
The Santana "Land Rovers" still look much like Defenders, but I'm pretty sure a lot of parts are unique. I don't know which parts are common.

Hi. I have a 1980 Santana Ligero and have yet to find any Series III or early Defender parts that don't fit. Mine has the anemic 2.25L diesel and everything seems to swap from the regular LR 2.25. There may be some driveline parts that won't work but so far I haven't had any issues with the driveline. I do notice some things are different but adaptable. I have Defender seats, a Defender ****** bar, Series III ignition and wheels, etc.
