The Land Rover Defender is an off-road vehicle produced under this name by the British manufacturer, Land Rover, since 1991. However, the vehicle is the direct heir of the first Land Rover that made its debut in 1948. The first prototype was built by the British automaker in 1947 and it was designed for the army.

1964 Land Rover Short Wheelbase Station Wagon, Road Tax Exempt
Sellers Comments This is a Series 2a short wheelbase Station Wagon with a lot of Series 3 parts. The bulkhead and 2.25 petrol engine are Series 3 for sure. It is road tax free It is also a seriously competent off-road vehicle with very good low mileage mud pattern tyres on grey modular wheels, the suspension has been raised and it has some under body protection and rock sliders. I have driven this truck where you cannot walk. It has a Defender rear door with wash-wipe and heated glass. It also has an electric Kenlowe fan and a NATO hitch. It starts and runs beautifully However - it has not been used for many years and needs a lot of work to get it back on the road. The interior is in a very poor state and it desperately needs a coat of paint. A large tin of International Harvesters red will be included. It needs a new door top (included). The original inward facing rear seats are included but not fitted. It really needs a lot of TLC. Mechanically the main issue is brakes, it has been standing for so long that they are binding and need freeing off. I recently replaced all the ignition components, starter motor and battery. It starts instantly and runs smoothly and quietly. This is a truck which would suit a true enthusiast looking for a project.
