This truck really is a fantastic drive, it can cruise a speeds not normal for a Defender and is so quiet and comfortable doing so, you can easily cover long distances in a day without issue.
Although this is a fantastically spec'd and extremely well maintained and cared for truck, it was built for purpose and certainly in the last 3 years has been used for 4 Overland trips around Europe.
There probably is the occasional light scratch from overhanging bushes that the detailer won't be able to remove and there is a small crack and scratch on the RHR wheel arch (been quoted £150 to repair) but for it's age it really is lovely truck, very presentable and is prepared for many many trips to come. In fact i'd happily drive it down Africa tomorrow given the opportunity.
Didn’t think it would ever happen but immigrating is forcing it's sale.
