Following the successful reception of the all-new Land Rover Discovery model in 1989, it was decided to give the traditional Land Rover its own name: Defender. Now boasting bold 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover continued its seemingly inexorable process of development, gaining disc brakes and power assisted steering as standard during the 1990s together with a host of other improvements. Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisable related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base; indeed, in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The aforementioned upgrades would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016.
This two-door Defender underwent full refurbishment in 2006 including conversion for four-person seating with two sideways-folding seats in the rear, the latter making for a flexibly large loading area (see detailed bill on file). Access to the rear seats is via the rear door, and saddle racks have been installed (the vehicle has been used to tow a horse trailer). A new turbocharger and alloy wheels were fitted during the refurbishment, and the Defender has a new speedometer. Mileage prior to the latter's replacement is estimated at circa 75,000, while a total of 11,588 miles have been covered during the current ownership. The vehicle has been serviced annually by Mark Smith of Bicester and comes with service records dating back to 2015. Pony riding activities having ceased, the Defender is now little used. Offered with a V5C document and MoT to August 2022.
