The Appeal
If you know your Land Rovers, you'll have already clocked that this Defender 90 ticks all the right boxes. It's equipped with the TD5 engine, one of the most reliable, powerful, and tunable diesels that Land Rover has ever offered. Better still, £6,000 has been spent equipping it with a Richards galvanised chassis, the most effective anti-corrosion measure one can bestow upon any Land Rover. The spec is great too: We love the rare factory hue of Cobar Blue, and adore those now iconic OEM alloy wheels, the sunroof, side steps and bull bar.
A special Defender indeed. And you have the chance to become its next custodian.
The Land Rover has benefited from substantial investment in 2020, with approximately £10,000 spent on a comprehensive panel-off respray at the same time the aforementioned new chassis was fitted. With just 58,000 miles recorded and a long (advisory-free) MOT, this Defender has a great deal to offer,
