Recent mechanical work including replacement of front bearings, calipers and hubs
Fitted with Twisted Gale Force upgrade
The Appeal
The Land Rover Defender needs little introduction. By 2007, the model had evolved into a refined yet uncompromisingly capable machine, and later examples such as this one are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. This particular Defender is made all the more interesting by the fitment of a Twisted Gale Force upgrade, which the vendor tells us makes it considerably faster than a standard Defender and offers comfortable cruising at motorway speeds.
The vendor describes the car as being in very good overall condition, noting only a small paint issue on the roof and a driver's side door seal that lets in a little water. For those in the market for a Defender with enhanced performance credentials and that trademark, oh-so-familiar ruggedness at its core, this car ticks plenty of boxes.0-1.jpg320.25 KB
