The Appeal
Built as a successor to the legendary Land Rover, the Defender ticked just about every box while building on the formula. Rugged, utilitarian and yet undeniably stylish in its single-mindedness, there's few off-roaders that can rival its legacy.
Having been in the current ownership since 2013, this handsome '95 Defender has been thoughtfully upgraded while retaining its classic character. With its Corris Grey respray, Masai glass, LED lighting upgrades, and contemporary infotainment system, this Defender is eminently drivable and will no doubt make quite the handsome addition to your fleet.
