The Appeal
Considering the workhorse nature of any classic Defender, it’s a surprise to find a vehicle like this. It is an original, unmolested, factory-standard 110 that has covered just 35,000 miles in the hands of its single keeper.
The vendor acquired it in Australia in 2010, before bringing it to the UK in 2016. It is a smart example in Tamar Blue with grey fabric two seat interior and a silver roof. The history file supports the low mileage, although it is not verified, and shows regular maintenance and servicing. The MOT continues the theme - it runs to April 2026 with no advisories.
Here is a chance to acquire a desirable LWB version of the classic Defender with the later, robust 2.4L TDI engine and 6spd box. The low mileage and single-keeper provenance indicate it has many more miles left in it. It looks ready to work.
The vendor says:
“Vehicle is a pleasure to drive reluctantly selling.”
