Directly descended from the original 1948 utility Land Rover, the Defender was the last of the 4x4 manufacturer’s truly classic models and has a thriving cult following.
This one is a 1988 example, but you wouldn’t notice just by looking at it as it appears to be much more modern, with a later ‘Puma’ bonnet and front bumper incorporating auxiliary fog lights.
It also has a few tasteful modifications, such as an improved interior using Ford Fiesta ST seats and a touchscreen smartphone-compatible stereo.
Freshly serviced and with a brand new rear crossmember to assuage any concerns around chassis corrosion, the Ninety has a brand-new MOT and is the perfect entry into classic Defender ownership. IMG_8006.JPG5.65 MB
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
Rebuilt with 200 TDi Discovery engine
Mot January 2024
Full UK V5C
Lots of invoices and receipts from recent rebuild and rectification work
Defenders are hugely popular, especially in Station Wagon form where they’re a truly brilliant multi-purpose family vehicle as well as an all-time British icon. This one is a great example that has been rebuilt to a standard where its ready to enjoy, with looks that belie its age and an extremely solid underside, as well as being in excellent mechanical condition.
It’s a great spec and colour, mildly modified but not overdone, and ready for its next adventure – an adventure that could well be yours.
