Background
The Land Rover Defender needs no introduction. After replacing the Series III, it’s been a sure sight on roads all over the globe since the 80s, with more than 2 million leaving the production line in a variety of specifications until brief removal from market in 2016.
It’s simple design and universal appeal means that any variation of the Defender has always been possible. Fit for a variety of emergency services, agricultural workers all the way to a sub-urban family of 5, there’s always been a Land Rover Defender for everyone. The easy to work on nature and largely un-changed proportions means that the potential to own your own bespoke Land Rover has always been a possibility. This 2012 Rich Brit model built by Brittle motors is exactly that.
The History
Whilst it’s unknown exactly when in its life this Defender was sent to Brittle, it features a variety of alterations from the stock offering.
Land Rover Defenders weren’t exactly known for their plush cabins, and this ‘Rich Brit’ model improves on Land Rovers so-so offering, with Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel as well as new carpets throughout the car. Perfect for transporting goods, towing requirements or out on a camping trip.
The current owner purchased this vehicle a few months ago however has decided that he doesn’t have enough time to warrant ownership and is consequently offering it to be enjoyed by a new owner.

The paperwork
Unfortunately, documentation hasn’t been retained for this vehicle and therefore the number of previous owners are currently unknown. The original manual remains with the car and its MOT history can be seen online.
The exterior
Separating itself from bland colours that patrol the roads, this Bronze Defender has no blemishes visible. As a modern vehicle the paintwork is still vivid with black Union Flags visible on both drivers and passenger doors as well as the bonnet. The main headlights and rear lights are in-tact and alloys are in superb condition.
There’s also a bespoke exhaust system that now exits through the bodywork adding a unique feature to this Defender 90.
A large additional light has been fitted to the top of the vehicle during its time with Brittle, however this hasn’t worked since its last MOT and will require attention.
The interior
Benefiting from a bespoke undertaking, this Defender now features a pair of stunning Recaro seats that have no tears and are almost like-new. Updated Belgrave dials and Momo steering wheel also offer something a little more unique when in the driver’s seat.
The mechanics
The engine is un-changed with the usual 2.2 Diesel engine starting on the button with no knocks or rattles as well as Land-Rovers legendary 4WD system which has no issues. The underside of the car is in good condition which is no surprise for a vehicle with only a little over 22,000 miles on the clock.
The appeal
Whether you’re taking a trip to the shops or in need of a vehicle with serious towing capacity, then this Rich Brit is the perfect unorthodox answer. With just over 22,000 miles and a clean ticket on its last MOT, this Rich Brit is ready to go.

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.
