The Appeal
Some classic Defender are destined to be styled-up for an Insta-friendly life. Others, like this one, simply live it. It is a proper, practical workhorse that has been used by the current keepers for adventures across Europe and more local duties.
It is the perfect vehicle for all that thanks to its trusty 2.5L TD5 and large 9-seater 110 layout. There is even a roof rack and tow bar to add to the versatility.
Finished in classic dark blue with a grey fabric interior, it is a used but presentable County that the vendor has owned since 2016. It has proved utterly reliable during its long distance adventures, reportedly never letting them down.
The maintenance records show regular attention to 16,000 miles ago and the vendor reports no running issues. The MOT supports the sense of a well kept, practical workhorse that is ready to go - it runs to September 2025.
