The Appeal
The Land Rover Defender ranks among very few car designs that are genuine icons, not just described thus for the sake of lazy hyperbole. Having been in continuous production (over innumerable iterations) from 1948 to 2016, it is one of the most recognisable shapes on the road. Tough as old boots and used by everyone from the Army to the Queen, it is intrinsically woven into Britain’s automotive fabric.
Because the foundations are so basic, it also makes a fine platform for customising to suit a variety of tastes and purposes, from fire engines to dolled-up city poseurmobiles. Strictly speaking, the Defender name wasn’t officially applied until the 1990 model year, but the preceding Ninety and One-Ten (named after their wheelbases in inches) of 1984-89 are effectively the same vehicle.

The version you see here is of military bent, customised with a full-length convertible roof but just as rugged as when it genuinely ferried soldiers around in a previous life. Want to inject your life with a sense of adventure? This well-travelled but thoroughly maintained 110 convertible will take you anywhere you want, and back again, with the option of letting the natural air all the way in.
The History and Paperwork
- V5 present, MOT until June 2023
- Believed to be an ex-army car
- MOT certificates dating back to 2005
- Known to have been restored and modified extensively over past 10 years
The Interior
- Cabin believed original
- Boot protected with diamond plate throughout
- Spare wheel included
- Metric dials with MPH inside KM/H on speedo
Inside, things are just as purposeful and straightforward as they are on the outside. The two front seats are in excellent condition, as are the plastics on the doors and the no-nonsense dashboard largely devoid of distractions from driving. The rear section is completely protected by a diamond-plate alloy cover, with a rubber mat to stop your boots slipping on it, while the new fabric roof fits neatly over a brand new folding cage, ensuring this Landie is ever ready to protect you from British weather.
The Exterior
- New LED front and rear lights
- Body panels all straight and true
- New convertible hood
- Colour-matched wheels and off-road tyres in good condition
The dark grey paint shows very few imperfections along the Defender’s simple surfaces. The front-right corner shows one stone dent on the body and a small surface rash on the bumper (both below the neighbouring headlight), while the left-rear corner has one dent on the bodyside swage line, near the brake light. Beyond these minor signs of use, though, the exterior presents in very good condition overall and certainly looks the part if the buyer fancies doing some mud plugging or countryside camping.
The Mechanics
- Matching-numbers 2.5 diesel engine in fine working order
- Bulkhead known to have been welded
- All seals have been replaced
- Rarely driven in recent years
The seller informs us that the car has received extensive work over the past 10 years, although paperwork is reported to be thin on the ground. The engine and running gear have received all necessary attention and the seller reports the 110 to go, stop, steer and change gear just fine – the only exception is a little bit of smoke on a cold start-up.
Summary
Convertible off-roaders are not especially common, yet the ability to put the roof away and take in the surrounding environment all the more during an all-terrain excursion will only multiply the sense of adventure. To do so using perhaps the most famous off-road vehicle of them all will feel only right and proper – especially as this one is in such great condition and ready to be used however you choose.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
