Defender will be fully serviced and mot before collection
THE APPEAL
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 1997 County Station Wagon, the seven-seat derivative in very smart and presentable order with no evidence of any past welding. It’s a well-presented example in factory specification, which unlike many Defender 90s is offered in completely stock condition with no modifications.
It has a very smart interior and is finished in one of the best 1990s Land Rover colours – Rioja Red pearlescent. It’s the perfect blank canvas for your own Land Rover build, or is arguably more suited to being preserved as an increasingly rare stock-standard example needing nothing other than some minor cosmetic work to bring it back to immaculate condition.FUfXbGivtadmt5uozk4FgivrXlusMEbzjowP6ihp.jpg502.6 KB
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
UK V5C
MOT just expired – will be renewed ahead of sale
Eight previous owners
Service history misplaced by the owner – but the truck is said to have been well-maintained throughout its life
Defenders are hugely popular, especially in top-spec County 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 is lovely and original – not substantially modified at all and in very smart overall order. Perfect for a Defender build if you want a really good and solid basis from which to start, or ideal for turning into a show example of a completely stock 1990s CSW, of which surviving, original examples are becoming few and far between.
It’s a great spec and colour, and a really smart and mechanically well-sorted example that will be perfect to take to the next level.
