The Appeal

The 2008 Land Rover Defender 90 SVX soft-top was a limited 60th Anniversary edition, exclusively finished in Santorini Black. It is best-known for its external roll cage and 60th Anniversary decals, which are combined with premium touches like LED taillights.

The interior featured a significant upgrade over the standard Defender, including heated Recaro seats. Under the hood, it used the reliable 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine with a six-speed manual gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive. This model is a rare collector's piece, and its unique ‘lifestyle’ styling and anniversary status make it one of the most iconic and high-value versions of the modern-classic Defender.

This particular example is offered showing just 18,062 kilometres, and comes with an interesting provenance, having been purchased second-hand from the owner of a Land Rover dealership. Benefiting from some tasteful modifications, and with a technical inspection valid to May 2026, it is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
