The Land Rover Defender was developed in the 1980's from the original Land Rover series which was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948. The car had an impressive build run that lasted until 2016 and saw a phenomenal 2, 016, 933 units roll off the production line of the world-famous Midlands manufacturer. Its rugged design has ensured that an estimated two thirds of Defenders and their predecessors are still on the road.
This absolutely stunning example of this iconic British 4x4 model has been the subject of extensive nut and bolt restoration and finished to a very high standard, where all parts were either renewed or refurbished. Its original 3. 0 TDi engine was taken out, stripped and rebuilt and a new clutch was fitted, new head gasket amongst a long list of works carried out to an extent very rarely seen on these vehicles. A new chassis was used, and the underneath of this Land Rover is as good as it is on top – fabulous! Finished in Heritage Green with a tan/ black interior and a new beige canvas hood which looks superb. There are bench seats to the rear offering great capacity for extra persons should the occasion arise to give anyone a lift! Its 3. 0 litre diesel engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and produces great towing power and torque. The car comes with a good history filed documenting its rebuild and it also comes with a V5C registration document. Stunning!
