THE APPEAL
Globally renowned as one of the most robust and capable vehicles to ever have been produced, the Land Rover Defender is a respected and iconic vehicle that has become a sought-after car for a variety of users. Whether it be touring the deserts of Africa, helping on the farm or dropping the children off at school, the Defender will do it all and go where others can't, making it the number one choice for most.
This 2008, Defender 90 XS SW SWB is the perfect example of how a Defender should be. It's been kept in good shape and very original but has the occasional war wound and blemish. It has been well-maintained both here in the UK as well as during its time in France, even though its mileage has been minimal.
These all-terrain vehicles are incredibly diverse and sought after, a recent and extensive service, including brake discs, pads and callipers adds further appeal and longevity, a great opportunity to acquire a true workhorse and 4x4 icon.

THE INTERIOR
- Good- condition with some signs of use
- Utilitarian design
- 3 Front seats
- Two Rear fold-out seats
Inside the Defender, the design is very much utilitarian simplicity, with a touch of comfort. Designed to be hardwearing and tough, the general condition is good, with some signs of use present. The front seats appear to be free from damage, with the rear two fold-out seats, which are fully operational but in need of a good clean. While the focus inside is clearly robustness, you do get some convenient comforts too. Heated front seats, air conditioning and electric windows are all equipped, plus the seats are finished in a smart, almost luxurious partial leather. All very welcomed additions to the heavy-duty design.
THE EXTERIOR
- Good condition with some marks and blemishes
- Tamar Blue paint
- 16’’ Boost Alloy with 235/85 Continental AT Tyres
- Black side steps
The appearance of the Defender is a recognisable sight worldwide. The ‘90’ station wagon is an evolution of its predecessors, utilising and improving on generations of Land Rovers, resulting in a vehicle that looks tough but is also versatile and capable. The aesthetics not only create a capable-looking vehicle, the short front end for example allows the vehicle to take on steeper approaches and descents, something most 4x4 struggle with. The condition of this Defender is overall good, with indications of its use present in a few places. There are a few scratches to the bodywork and arches, some more noticeable than others but a Defender is built to be used and with that taken into account, the general appearance is very good.
THE MECHANICS
- 2402cc Four-Cylinder Diesel
- 6-Speed Manual Transmission
- Recent extensive service including brakes
During our visit, we manoeuvred the Defender multiple times, starting and stopping without any issues or dramatics. The 2.4L diesel operated comfortably, ran smoothly and revved healthily. The vehicle has recently benefited from an extensive specialist inspection and service, where brake discs, pads and callipers were renewed alongside an oil change and new filters.
With under 32,000 miles covered the vehicle has evidently been used sparingly, yet the current owner has ensured annual services have been commissioned. Some evidence of this maintenance is included in the paperwork, alongside UK & French MOT certificates where a record of the mileage increments is also visible. The operational health of the vehicle is reported to be in great working order, with no known issues present and as such, the vehicle is ready for work.
SUMMARY
Arguably one of the most impactful vehicles to be released to the world, the Defender is a true British great. From farms to faraway lands, these vehicles have proven time and time again their incredible effectiveness. Their ability to cover an array of terrains while also providing versatile sitting arrangements and practical boot space continues to amplify their appeal, even against more modern alternatives. With only 31,888 miles and recent thorough service, this Defender certainly stands out from the competition and should certainly sit high on your shopping list.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
