Highlights
- Only one former registered keeper
- Unmodified, factory-specification example
- One of the last TD5-engined Defenders produced
- Previously kept and serviced on a private estate
The Appeal
The 2006 Defender 90 sits among the final examples to be powered by the much-admired TD5 engine, a powerplant that earned a loyal following for its dependability and workaday character. As these later, unmolested Defenders become ever harder to find, a factory-standard example with clear provenance is a compelling proposition.
This particular vehicle has had just one former registered keeper, having spent its earlier life on a private estate where it was maintained at the estate's own workshop. It remains entirely unmodified, retaining its original factory specification, an increasingly rare quality in a model so often subjected to aftermarket alterations. The vendor describes it as being in very good overall condition, and it holds a current MOT. For those seeking an honest, standard Defender 90 with straightforward history, this is one well worth a closer look.
