The Appeal

The Land Rover Defender has earned its place in motoring history and summons the respect and nostalgia it deserves from all corners of the planet.
Rugged and capable of going across virtually any terrain, they have now truly become a timeless motoring icon that are well sought after in their many guises and forms.
This 110 was supplied new to Essex Police and comes in good all-round condition with a documented Police service history. 
 


The History and Paperwork

  • Supplied new to Essex Police in 2011
  • Documented service history
  • V5c present
  • Current MOT till 02/03/2023 with no advisories
  • 2 sets of keys
  • Handbooks and manuals 
  • Spare wheel and jack
A good and solid example bought earlier this year with a view to doing some light restoration and long-term ownership, a change in circumstances now brings this car to auction and would be the perfect Defender for someone keen to own and drive one of these iconic and sought after 4x4’s.
 


The Interior

  • Good original condition with wear commensurate with age and mileage
  • Small tear on the driver’s seat and some marks to the rear seats
  • Air conditioning
  • Electric front windows
  • Remote central locking
  • Alarm/Immobiliser
  • Rubber floor mats
  • Rear guard in load area 
The whole original interior looks in good condition, the headlining is clean and there are some signs of wear and tear throughout but everything works as it should. 

The floors are solid and the dashboard and door trims all look good and, except for a few scuffs and marks the interior presents well.

All the gauges and instruments work as they should and the whole cabin has a nicely worn patina of age and use.

 


The Exterior

  • Blue with a white roof
  • Bodywork is nice and straight but there are many surface scratches and imperfections in the paint around the car.
  • A few areas of chipped paint and touched in areas
  • Boost Alloy wheels with Goodrich tyres
  • Snorkel
  • Mud flaps
  • Tow bar
  • Shut lines, lights and all trim and badges are all good 
Overall the Defender presents very well, looking good and solid, with very little sign of any corrosion anywhere other than on the odd hinge or bolt. 

The paintwork has suffered from the removal of the Police decals and markings but the scratches evident in the paint are not deep and the fitted snorkel, Boost alloy wheels and mud flaps all help to give the car a very purposeful look and feel.
 

The Mechanics

  • Full Police service history
  • 2.5 Diesel
  • Manual gearbox
  • All electrics function correctly
  • MOT till March 2023 with no advisories
Fully serviced and maintained throughout its time with Essex Police the Defender drives really well and has recently been serviced with new front brake discs and pads being fitted along with a new clutch master cylinder.

The Summary

There are many reasons that this car will appeal to any Land Rover or motoring enthusiast. Its originality, its overall condition, its rarity, its engine, its manual gearbox or maybe it’s just the way it looks. 

Whatever the reason or reasons this car ticks all the right boxes and will not fail to delight the next lucky owner.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

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.
