The Appeal
Loved for its unashamed anachronism, especially in its later years, the original Land Rover Defender stood as a reminder of the brand’s illustrious past. Deeply rooted in the brand’s heritage, this iconic model was deliberately left fundamentally unchanged for as long as time would allow.
Some owners, and Land Rover themselves, have taken this celebration of the marque’s heritage even further, adding details to their Defenders in homage to the past.
Brimming with retro appointments and resplendent in Grassmere Green, this Defender really looks the part. Moreover, it’s been well cared for and displays a mere 49, 877 miles on the odometer.
