There are few vehicles that match the iconography of the Land Rover Defender, which is an enduring legend that’s becoming ever more collectable since production ceased in 2016.
This one is a late model, first registered in September 2013, and it’s a low-mileage example, too. A seven-seater, it’s fully equipped for adventure and is achingly cool.
The vendor has owned it for the past year and used it for a few special trips of his own, but he’s clearing space in his warehouse to expand his business so is reluctantly letting it go to a new home.
This is the XS model, so is comprehensively equipped with two-tone cloth and faux-leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows – great news for those used to manual window winders taking up vital elbow room in the cabin.
It’s also a seven-seater, with a pair of fold-up rear seats in the truck’s luggage area that are forward-facing and have full three-point seatbelts, making it family-friendly.
The only minor fault is with the headlining, which has started to sag slightly behind the sunroof.
Black ‘Boost’ alloy wheels with Cooper all-terrain tyres
Snorkel
Roof rack
Black chequer plate trim and rock sliders
Finished in two-tone white under black, the Defender looks incredibly cool, with darkened privacy glass, a roof rack, snorkel, black rock sliders and black chequer plate on the wing tops so you can climb up and reach the roof rack. It also has an access ladder on the rear.
The presentation is immaculate – it’s clearly a truck that hasn’t had a hard life nor been driven in anger off-road. It sits on gloss black ‘Boost’ alloy wheels, equipped with meaty Cooper all-terrain tyres.
Six-speed manual transmission with dual range functions
Low mileage
Drives very well
Under the bonnet you’ll find a 2.2-litre version of the Ford-derived ‘Puma’ diesel, as used in the Transit, Mondeo and Jaguar X-TYPE. It’s a unit renowned for its smoothness and longevity and it drives very well indeed.
According to the vendor it operates without fault and the transmission works as it ought to in both high and low ratios. There are no reported issues with the steering, brakes or suspension.
High-spec Defenders are very desirable things and this one has got the lot – all of the adventure accessories, a great interior and the smoothest engine found in the model. It’s immaculately presented and is in great working order. A vehicle that will attract attention wherever it goes, and which is perfect for family adventures.

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.

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.
