The now legendary Land Rover Defender has long since ascended to 4x4 gentry, having proved itself equally capable both on and off road. It is as at home – and welcome – rolling up to a country house as it is churning through a jungle mud trail. It has the moves for each, switching effortlessly between two- and four-wheel drive and offering space for passengers, equipment, luggage or even animals. In its smarter guises, it is the ultimate estate vehicle or country tourer.
The History and Paperwork
Fully stamped service book
All LR main dealer services
Tracker fitted
Regular undersealing
Originally a London truck, the Defender made its way North in 2015, still with only some 16,000 miles on the clock. During its life, it has always been services by Land Rover main agents; Land Rover Wimbledon, Guy Salmon, Stockport and Stonelake near Halifax.
As well as an impeccable history, the Landy has also been treated to some very handy and high-quality upgrades, including both on and off-road oriented modifications. It has also been thoroughly and regularly Waxoil/Dinitrol rustproofed.
The Exterior
Winch bumper and bull bars
Full-length roof rack
Metallic black paintwork
Privacy glass
High-power headlights and driving lamps
When you get up close, you realise that the Defender is actually finished in a metallic black, with the paintwork maintaining a deep gloss all around. There are no significant scratches anywhere and, in critical areas – wing tops and lower edges – the bodywork is reenforced with matching black chequerplate. The rugged Defender always had a Meccano set feel - big hinges, rudimentary shaping of the alloy, but this example boasts some decidedly narrow panel gaps, with no warping in those flat sides (slight dimples at rivet points come as standard).
The moulded wheel-arch extensions are in good shape, no cracks or scuffs, and window and door seals are supple and a healthy shade of black. The Land Rover features privacy glass in the rear.
As well as the full-length roof rack (with a rear ladder for better access) and the river-fording breathing snorkel, it would be hard not to notice that the truck also has a winch bumper fitted – sporting a top-of-the-line Warn Zeon 10S – as well as Wipac quad optic headlights, LED side lights and driving lamps fitted to the Defender-logo’d front bull bar. At the rear, you’ll also find a fully (electrically) connected tow bar. Fit and finish of all the extras is excellent, and their quality is in keeping with the rest of this up-market 4x4. A Formidable-looking machine.
The Interior
Thick rubber Defender floor mats throughout
Armoured ignition assembly
Bluetooth Alpine stereo
The black-on-black interior has a ‘taking care of business’ feel. The seats are finished in a tough easy to care for fabric, showing no rips or faded sections, while the interior plastics and panels are durable and in good shape. The heavy-duty door panels are straight and firmly mounted. Grab handles and storage spaces are clean and crack-free, while the gear levers and steering wheel also maintain a fresh appearance – no ring or nail marks. Carpeted sections are clean and well covered – no stains or worn edges – while all the floors (including the cargo area) are also protected by thick rubber Defender-logo’d mats. These too remain very tidy and well fitted.
The rear space is in similarly good condition (there are no further fold-up seats here) and the truck’s roof mouldings remain clean and in good condition. The Defender was also fitted with dual colour LED ‘mood lighting’ by its previous owner, and this works as it should.
All in all, a versatile and tidy (and mood-lit) space.
The Mechanics
Armoured sump guard
Solid underneath with undersealing
Powder-coated 16in wheels
Fully sealed and lubricated transfer box cardon shaft
Everything under the bonnet looks to be in good condition. There is the odd touch of oxidation or a trace of surface rust, but everything appears robust, pretty clean and well able to do its job. Leads and hoses appear healthy and crack-free, and insulation and ducting supple and continuous. Joints, clips and guiders all appear tidily jointed, with no signs of neglect or botched replacements. The big black fan cowl and engine cover look strong and fatigue-free. There are no signs of heat damage.
The underside of the Defender inspires confidence; everything looks immensely sturdy, with chassis rails, struts and outriggers all appearing very strong. Nothing appears to have endured any kind of severe impact. It’s worth noting that the engine carries an alloy sump guard, while also, the transfer box cardon shaft has been boxed in and better lubricated. There is a little surface corrosion here and there, but there is a good degree of weatherproofing wax on all components.
The 16in alloys are in very good condition. Their glossy black powder coating (with chromed nuts) mirrors the body work well, and none show any scratches or curbing. The Continental Cross Contact tyres are in excellent condition with plenty of tread.
Summary
This Land Rover 110 manages to pull off the trick of looking at home both on the road or a country track. It’s smart enough to go out to dinner in and tough enough to trek through the Highlands. Its service history will give any potential new owner confidence in its health, while that thoughtful and informed extras list (okay, we’ll ignore the mood lighting) makes it stand out from the pack.
Defenders are as solid an investment proposition as most any classic – better than many – and hold their values doggedly. Any way you look at it, this station wagon is the total package.

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

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.
