This Country Station Wagon model takes the practicality one step further, offering additional passenger capacity, and plenty of tasteful modifications.

The History and Paperwork

  • Just one former keeper
  • First registered 1 September 2008
  • Maintained & cared for by a Land Rover enthusiast
  • Chassis recently stripped back and treated
  • MOT until 3 March 2023
This Defender 110 is a rather standout example, with just the one former keeper noted on the V5C document. Although no former service history is present, the enthusiastic previous keeper is believed to have serviced the vehicle regularly, ensuring maintenance was carried out as required. More recently, the vehicle’s chassis was stripped back and treated to a new coat of Waxoyl, ready for the upcoming winter. 

The Interior

  • Cloth & part leather interior
  • Rear seating capacity
  • Double DIN head unit, with Apple Car Play
  • In Phase USW 300 subwoofer
  • Rear reverse camera
  • Central cubby box
  • Great condition
The interior of this Land Rover Defender presents itself in great condition, now showing just minor signs of use, in keeping with the age and mileage shown. The part cloth and leather seats show only minimal wear, with the driver’s seat of course accounting for the slight majority of which. 

Carpeting throughout the cabin also offers a rather tidy finish, having been protected with fitted rubber floor mats in both the front and rear. The headlining and door cards follow suit, with only incredibly minor blemishes to the door card materials. 
In addition to its factory-specified equipment, this Defender also hosts a few tasteful interior upgrades. Perhaps most notable of which is the audio setup, which consists of a double DIN head unit with Apple Car Play, and the In Phase USW 300 mounted to the rear of the central cubby box. There’s also a rear reversing camera, for added ease when maneuvering or parking the vehicle. 
Overall, the interior leaves relatively little to be further desired, presenting itself in a minimally worn condition very much in line with the vehicle’s respectable age & mileage. 

The Exterior

  • Stornoway Grey paintwork
  • 18” Sawtooth alloy wheels
  • Nas rear step
  • Side steps
  • LED lights
  • Flat Dog roof rack
  • KBX front grille & headlight surrounds
  • Excellent condition
Finished in Stornoway Grey, this Defender 110 presents itself in excellent condition for its age, with the paintwork now showing only incredibly minor blemishes. Perhaps the most obvious of which, is a slight mark on the front passenger’s door, although this could likely be amended without much hassle. 
Complementing the grey paintwork, are a host of tasteful and practical upgrades, including the Flat Dog roof rack, which is less than a year old. The vehicle also sports side steps, a Nas rear step, and a sleek KBX front grille and headlight surrounds. Despite being in a high-impact area, the grille shows an impressively low number of marks. 
This Defender sits on a set of 18” Sawtooth alloy wheels, which finished in black, look fantastic against the body. The wheels show only minor blemishes and come wrapped in a near-new set of BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres.
Overall, this Defender 110 shows off a very respectable finish, further enhanced by the aforementioned modifications. There are a few minor blemishes noticeable upon close inspection, but nothing out of the ordinary for the vehicle’s age. 

The Mechanics

In addition to this, the vehicle’s chassis was recently stripped back, and finished with a fresh coat of Waxoyl, ensuring future corrosion prevention. The current keeper informs us that video evidence and photo documentation of the process is available upon request.

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.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

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.
