Upgraded with a sports steering wheel, heated seats, tinted windows a media centre and reversing camera
Accompanied by a substantial history file
The Appeal
For those seeking a vehicle that's fun and practical in equal measure, a Land Rover Defender makes a lot of sense.
This 2004 is particuallry appealing, s it incorporates several thoughtful additions to enhance comfort and convenience. The sports steering wheel and heated seats bring a touch of comfort to the rugged interior, while further upgrades like the aftermarket media centre and reversing camera add modern functionality to this classic model.
The Defender's reputation for handling harsh weather conditions is well-known, and this particular vehicle has demonstrated its capabilities in deep snow, which the vendor says it tackled with impunity. The tinted windows provide privacy, ideal for those transporting valuable items or pets, and the rubber-lined back area is a practical feature that simplifies cleaning and enhances the vehicle's practicality.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

£100.00

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
