The Appeal

Some vehicles are built for getting there. The Land Rover Defender 110 was built for everything after that, the long-wheelbase workhorse that became a favourite for farms, expeditions and weekends spent a long way from the nearest tarmac. It has the space, the simplicity and the go-anywhere reputation that have kept the Defender name in demand.

Registered on 1 December 1994, this one is finished in Red with a colour-matched roof and sits on black modular steel wheels with Runway Enduro A/T tyres. Power comes from the 2.5-litre 300Tdi engine through a 5-speed R380 manual gearbox, and it shows an indicated 144,566 miles on the clock. A sunroof and Moorland cloth seats complete a cabin that’s built for use.

It also comes ready for adventure. A full-length roof rack, River Canyon roof tent and awning are all included in the sale, and the seller describes the Defender as “exactly what a Defender should be”, adding that “she is ready to go anywhere whenever you ask her.”

Roof tent up, awning out and nothing on the calendar but the next green lane. For anyone who wants a Defender that’s already set up for the weekend, the hard part of the kit list has been done.
