Only one former registered keeper on record

The Appeal

Fighting fires is serious business, so the Fire Service needs vehicles they can rely on. Enter the Land Rover Defender, a car you can trust when it matters most. This 2003 110 dual-cab ute was reportedly ordered from Land Rover Special Vehicles. The vendor describes it as one of very few such vehicles still around.

With just two former registered keepers and 72,687 miles on the clock, this Defender appears to have led a well looked-after life. The vendor says it presents in very good nick, having never been used off-road. It has been fitted with Raptor 4x4 front seats, a Raptor winch bumper, a Tyrex steering wheel and four new tyres, while retaining the original radio.

For those after a storied Defender in very good overall nick, this versatile 110 has got everything going for it.
