The Appeal

The TD4-gen Defender, introduced in 2007 with its Ford-derived 2.4-litre turbo diesel and six-speed gearbox, brought welcome improvements in refinement whilst retaining the rugged ladder-chassis construction and permanent four-wheel-drive system that defined the model for decades. It's a fitting testament to the Landie rep; a car that was built for versatility and rugged off-roading. It's little wonder so many of them saw official and departmental use.

Delivered new by an authorised Land Rover dealer in Wrocław, Poland, this Defender served with the Provincial Headquarters of the Polish State Fire Service before passing into enthusiast ownership. Its accompanying history file includes the original dealer wallet, stamped service portfolio, owner's handbook, Certificate of Conformity, workshop job cards and an unbroken run of annual Polish technical inspections from 2014 to 2025, each showing a consistent and logical increase in mileage.

Finished in Keswick Green with a Heritage-inspired appearance and Denim Twill Vinyl interior, the Defender has been sympathetically enhanced during its current ownership. Mechanical attention has been equally considered, with a service completed by MC Cars in May 2025 and significant preventative work carried out across the chassis, axles and steering. The vendor states that the most recent Polish technical inspection, completed in September 2025, was passed without advisory items.

Is the Keswick Green original colour from the Factory or was re-painted and will you provide VIN please ?

Hi Jack, yes Keswick Green is the original Factory colour. The vehicle has never been fully repainted. Majority of PAINT is original as per the paint measurements. Areas we know have been refinished include the rear door along with the wheel archers which have been recently colour matched to the body. VIN number is: SALLDHMS87A744990
