Ordered through Land Rover Hellas in 1988, this Defender has remained with its original owner ever since. More than just a vehicle, it has been part of our family's story for decades. It was never a workhorse, but a trusted companion for weekend escapes, mountain trails, and unforgettable journeys.
In 2003, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical restoration, including a professional conversion to electronic fuel injection for improved reliability while preserving its original spirit. The original carburettors are included with the vehicle.
Always garage-kept and meticulously cared for, it has been cherished rather than simply owned. Its value lies not only in its condition, but in the memories it carries and the life it has shared with one family.
Now, after all these years, it is ready to begin a new chapter with someone who truly appreciates the heritage, authenticity, and timeless character of a classic Land Rover Defender.
