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. This iconic car was improved over the years and it has been known for generations as a national treasure.

Landrover Defender

Land Rover Defender 90 td5 Total one off. Turns heads wherever he goes
Sellers Comments -I bought 'Gav' in 2019 and have loved every second of owning him. Original engine died and it was professionally replaced with a tuned td5 engine and runs and sounds amazing. He even has a boost button which was a gift from the garage. I would drive this landy anywhere, over anything. He's got great acceleration and will sit comfortably on the motorway at 65-75mph.
He pulls really well, the ride is comfortable, no rattles or noise other the amazing sound of the engine and exhaust. Upgraded suspension and shocks have made a huge difference. Solid underneath and treated with rust prevention.
Ragtop in great condition, all landys leak but this one is actually quite water tight, especially on the main area. Doors let in rain at the usual places nothing to worry about. Sold with waterproof cover that is easy to pop on if you keep it outside.
I am currently only using him to go to the beach and back so not using it enough, so rather would see it go to a good home. Having said that, I'm in no hurry. I have piled around £17,000 into him so whoever owns him next is the lucky one, everything has been done.
More photos and video available on request, feel free to call or text.
Ex military, from Cyprus.
tool boxes in back, can be removed and side seats added.
very fast, loud and everything a defender should be!
Number plate valued at £900-1500
If I was to keep him, Id do the following:
Dif lock needs connecting (but you really don't need it, unless you're planning to do serious off roading which I haven't done)
Back seats
make the exhaust slightly quieter, it was advised in latest mot, he sounds great but he is loud!
sold with 12 months MOT, work carried out at Devon 4x4, if you know of them, you'll know how professional they are. One of the mechanics was wanting to buy it himself but his wife said no! (he already has 3!)
Give me a call to discuss, no silly offers, no funny business. Would consider swapping for something interesting.
I can honestly say that it has never been in better shape since I owned it. This is a one off and will be worth a lot more in the future.
