The Appeal

Well, here it is, the sort of Defender you hope to find but never imagine you will. The list of buyer tick-boxes is a long one: final version, premium XS specification, rare colour scheme, very low mileage, desirable options, single keeper and serviced annually at the same main dealer. It even comes with a long MOT, valid to August 2027 and with no advisories, just like every previous test.

There really is little more to say, because this is one of the best-presented Defenders we’ve seen in a long while. The current keeper is a farmer and tells us that it has been used, clearly carefully, as a working vehicle. That means features like the tow bar electrics, diff lock, and low-range box all work correctly.

The last service was in August 2025 at 20,000 miles, since when it has covered only few miles. With its impressive provenance, rare Havana Grey and black colour scheme, uprated part-leather interior and impressive condition, this is one for the enthusiasts.

The vendor says:

“It’s a late model Land Rover classic. Looks great. Drives perfectly. Utterly practical. Well used, as it should have been, but with very low genuine mileage for its age. Perfectly maintained.”
