It has barely-worn Goodrich Urban Terrain TA tyres all round, it (jump) starts, runs, drives and stops but it would benefit from some work. The ABS light stays on, it probably needs a new battery, there are some minor scratches on the paintwork and rust around the hatch aperture next to the seal, the sunroof has been panelled in and the interior is scruffy, including wear to the driver's seat. I've listed and/ or photographed everything I can think of but I'd recommend coming for a look before deciding to buy. There are no spares other than a set of good rear seats from a three-door convertible. The MoT expired on 27. 4. 22 so it's currently on SORN.
This is showing as a trade listing because the vehicle is owned by a company, but Bauer is a publisher and is selling off this vehicle from its fleet. Serious offers considered. Please make contact by phone or email if you require more information, want to arrange a viewing or make an offer. According to the information on this site, the online offers and payment system is only for trade dealers, which Bauer is not. This is a piece of Land Rover history with copies of more than 25 articles available showing the work done by the editorial team with professional assisatnce when needed, the adventures it took part in and even its appearance on the cover of the magazine.
