The Appeal
It's fair to say that the Defender has become a legend of the road. A veritable swiss army knife, these 4x4s are perfect for towing, perfect for clambering through the countryside, ploughing through deserts - you get the idea.
This particular Defender 90 TD5 XS has been meticulously maintained, with £3,000 recently spent on it by the renowned specialists at Gigglepin in November 2023. With a service book stamped until 2017 and a recent underseal job under its belt, this Defender has clearly been well looked after - and is now ready and waiting for its new owner.
