The Appeal
The Land Rover Defender 90 Wolf Winter Wader represents the pinnacle of military-spec Land Rovers, built to withstand the harshest conditions. It could wade five feet under water, and withstand freezing temperatures as low as minus 46 degrees centigrade!
This 1999 example is noteworthy as one of the final 50 Wolf models produced for military service. With its documented military history showing service with the 1st Scots, low mileage, and careful maintenance, this Wolf offers a rare and authentic piece of military heritage in very well-preserved condition.
The vendor summarises:
"Driving it makes you feel like you are invincible. No other Land Rover handles as well as a Wolf. Well maintained, it drives like a new vehicle."
