We'd argue that there's never been a vehicle that remained so true to its roots for so long as the original Defender. Right up until production ceased in 2016, new Land Rovers were unashamedly utilitarian and this dogged commitment to an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude earned the marque a loyal following.
This 2007 Defender 110 is a supremely versatile example and remains in very good original condition
A change in circumstances forces reluctant sale, as the vendor has thoroughly enjoyed their time with the car. It's been very well-maintained and benefits from copious recent work including the fitment of a new rear crossmember, the professional application of WaxOyl chassis treatment and the fitment of a new fuel pump.
This Defender is powered by the legendary TD5 engine, so is sure to be of great interest to those seeking a capable and dependable example.
