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.

Land Rover Series 2a Diesel TAX EXEMPT!!!
You are bidding on my 1966 TAX EXEMPT Land Rover Series 2a Diesel.
It is nearly fifty years so please check the pictures for its condition. - View Details - Photos

Land Rover Series 2 II 1958 88" Orig 2.0 Petrol Somerset Fire Tender Reg 830 BYC
Sellers Comments - This is exceeding rare on two accounts.
The 1st that is a very early Series 2 Chassis number 141801096.
The 2nd that it was supplied to Somerset Fire Brigade when new for use as a fire tender.
It has its original 2.0 engine number 141805482 which runs well.
Only approx 1700 Series 2's were fitted with this engine due to the new 2.25 engines being in short supply.
Up to date V5 document present and reg number is transferable but that would ruin the history of the vehicle!
Comes with lots of Fire brigade paperwork which is great. - Additional Photos - Details

1955 LAND ROVER SERIES 1 V8 Special
Sellers Comments
The story behind this particular Land Rover is detailed in a 5-page feature in the October 2012 issue of Classic Land Rover Owner magazine,
Starting out in life as a bog standard 1955 Series One 86", it was long ago converted into a stripped out trials machine and was spotted languishing in a farmer's field by the late Mark Rumsey, a well known figure in the Series Land Rover world. In something of a sorry state when acquired in 2011, it was soon back in Rumsey's Tring workshop where he set about a thorough rebuild with the aim of making it a competitive trials machine once more.
It had already been fitted with a 3.5-litre Rover V8 twin carb engine and a Range Rover gearbox with Series 2 or 3 axles and was soon got running again. As the original bulkhead was in a bad way, another was fabricated using 6mm thick steel. Deciding to make it road legal and get an MOT, the vehicle was completely rewired and headlights, wipers, horn and indicators restored to working condition.
Sadly, Mark Rumsey died unexpectedly just as the project was completed and his brother invited LRO magazine to come and put it through its paces in a muddy disused quarry to sample the quality of his late-brother's work. "I'm delighted to report that this custom-made and custom-rebuilt old trialler delivers all the fun and thrills that Mark intended," said the article. "This thing claws its way over everything, through everything and up everything. It's huge fun."
It comes with a V5C, an old MOT and a copy of the LRO magazine in which it is featured , it now needs a new owner to grab it by the scruff of its neck and show it a good time on some thrilling dirty weekends.

1963 109" Series IIA Land Rover
Sellers Comments - I'm moving house end January and very reluctantly have to sell my faithful 1963 LWB IIA. Fitted with a disco 200di (no turbo) used daily and has been very reliable. MOT till May 22nd 2016. Good tilt, new tyres. Have owned her for just over 5 years and during that time have fitted new front springs, starter motor and had the brakes overhauled. Previous owner (local to me) advised that a new chassis and new wiring had been fitted. This is NOT a restored poser, it is a working Landy with patina to match!! Probably could do with tidying up I guess or restored if you're that way inclined. Front prop shaft UJ needs to be replaced (I have a new one ready to fit and might find the time do it), and the speedo stopped working last week......either the cable or speedo drive I suspect. Chassis is good, bulkhead is not - corrosion - see pictures Inspection before buying recommended Situated in the Scottish Borders near Newcastleton Advertised elsewhere
