£26,000 of professionally fitted extras and modifications, with supporting invoices
Two former registered keepers
Reported to have never been off-road
MOT valid until July 2027
The Appeal
For those carting a small work crew along with a pile of tools, the Double Cab was the perfect Defender. Produced in 2013, this example falls within the final years of the original Defender's long production run, and the XS trim brought a level of equipment and refinement that elevated the Defender beyond its utilitarian roots.
This grey example has been thoroughly enhanced by its current keeper, who purchased it in 2022. Some £26,000 has been invested in professionally fitted modifications carried out by Audiofile In Car, specialists in Land Rover Defenders. The interior has been transformed with cream leather seating for seven, leather door cards throughout, a carbon dashboard, Heritage gear sticks, and an upgraded steering wheel. Professional soundproofing was also carried out, and the vendor reports the cabin is notably quiet on the road. In the past, it's also seen a full styling upgrade from Urban Automotive, which it still carries with pride.
This is a well-specified, well-maintained Defender that presents an appealing proposition for those seeking a usable and refined example.image.png1.03 MB
