STRAIGHTRANGE PREPARED | TWISTED FITTED | READY NOW
2013 Land Rover Defender 110 2. 2 TDCi XS Station Wagon
Green | 98, 800 Miles | Engine Upgrade | 5 Seat
Not all Defenders are equal.
Some are built.
Some are restored.
Very few are understood.
This is one of those.
The Land Rover Defender 110 is already an icon but when enhanced correctly, using the right parts and the right knowledge, it becomes something far more usable, more refined, and far more desirable.
Prepared and presented by StraightRange, this Defender represents exactly what a properly sorted example should be honest, mechanically right, and ready to drive.
⸻
THE STORY
This is not a factory-built or numbered Twisted Automotive vehicle.
Instead, it is something arguably more appealing to informed buyers a well-specified Defender fitted with genuine Twisted components, supplied and installed by Twisted Automotive, supported by original invoices.
This reflects how many of the best early vehicles were developed:
• Upgraded properly
• Maintained correctly
• Improved with purpose
Not overbuilt. Not overdone.
Just enhanced where it matters.
⸻
TWISTED-SUPPLIED & FITTED UPGRADES
The history file includes documented work from Twisted Automotive, confirming parts supplied and fitted by them.
Key upgrades include:
• Bilstein shocks and upgraded steering damper
• Twisted 18” alloy wheels
• BF Goodrich All Terrain tyres
• Twisted Stage 2 performance upgrade
• Upgraded intercooler
• Performance air filter
• Crystal headlights with stainless surrounds
• Stainless exterior fixings
• Tubular rear step and towing bracket
• Tubular spare wheel carrier
• Twisted steering guard
• Body colour grille, vents and rear crossmember
• Upgraded side and wing top vents
• Raised leather cubby box / armrest
This is a well-judged, driver-focused upgrade package, designed to improve the vehicle without losing its character.
⸻
ENGINE & MECHANICAL
Under the bonnet is the proven 2. 2 TDCi diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive.
A key highlight of this example:
• Engine reconditioning carried out at approximately 65, 000 miles
• Turbocharger replaced at the same time
• Clutch replaced with genuine components
All supported by invoice.
More recently:
• Serviced at 98, 675 miles
Drives exactly as it should — tight, responsive and confidence inspiring
3500kg towing capacity
This is a Defender that has been mechanically sorted and properly maintained.
⸻
DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The difference is immediately noticeable.
Where a standard Defender can feel agricultural, this example feels:
• More composed
• More refined
• More responsive
The upgrades work together to create a vehicle that is:
• Easier to drive
• More enjoyable on longer journeys
• Better suited to modern use
It still feels like a Defender just a much better one.
⸻
CONFIGURATION & PRACTICALITY
Factory 5-seat configuration a key advantage.
More usable than the traditional 7-seat layout, offering:
• Greater comfort
• Better use of interior space
• Improved practicality
Combined with the upgrades, this is a Defender that works in the real world.
⸻
EXTERIOR
Finished in classic Green, this is a clean, honest example.
Not over-restored. Not overdone.
Just:
• Straight panels
• Strong stance
• Correct upgrades
A Defender that looks exactly how it should.
⸻
INTERIOR & COMFORT
XS specification includes:
• Heated seats
• Air conditioning
• Electric windows
• Remote central locking
Enhanced by:
• Raised leather cubby box
• Improved cabin refinement
A comfortable and usable interior without losing the character of the vehicle.
⸻
HISTORY & PROVENANCE
• 2013 (13 plate)
• 98, 800 miles
• 3 owners
A well-maintained and documented example, supported by:
• Full service history
• Maintained by Sam Greenwood Automotive since 2020, with annual servicing and MOT upkeep
• Recently serviced at 98, 675 miles
• MOT until February 2027
In addition:
• Twisted Automotive invoices confirming supplied and fitted upgrades
• Engine reconditioning and turbo replacement at circa 65, 000 miles

WHY THIS DEFENDER STANDS OUT
Most Defenders fall into one of two categories:
• Standard and needing investment
• Heavily modified without the right provenance
This sits perfectly in the middle.
It offers:
• Genuine, correctly fitted upgrades
• Documented mechanical work
• A balanced, usable specification
A Defender that has been improved properly not overbuilt.
