THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

The Defender offered is a genuine factory-built left-hand-drive 130 with the 200Tdi direct-injection diesel engine, legendary among enthusiasts for its long-lived hardiness. Unlike many examples that are presented in somewhat shopworn condition, that offered here has undergone a ground-up rebuild beginning from the bare chassis, which has been left in its original paint to show its truly amazing condition. The bulkhead has been professionally refurbished while rear 'high cap' body is a brand-new genuine Land Rover piece, as are the side plinths and the genuine Puma bonnet; the doors are all-new and mounted on Croytec alloy hinges with matching screen blocks. Clearly no expense was spared to return the Defender to its original glory.

Inspiration for the vehicle's configuration was the iconic Defender seen in the 2015 James Bond film, Spectre, which served to reignite the passion of enthusiasts for this model worldwide. Thus, finishing the menacing exterior appearance are a full set of Spectre wheels with 37-inch tires; full-length rock sliders; full LED lights, including the headlights and Spectre spotlights; a KBX grille system; black chequer plates on the front fenders; and a "Spectre rope." A brand-new Safety Devices external roll cage ensures off-road security, while the same firm supplied a roof rack system for carrying goods on one's journey. Within is a new elite ExmoorTrim seat system, including rear mounting brackets enabling the fitment of Elite reclining rear seats. The interior is lined with acoustic carpet, for a more serene ride on-road, and the headliner has been retrimmed, resulting in an interior that is both comfortable and beautifully presented throughout.

Drivetrain updates include a two-inch suspension lift with polyurethane bushings, a double-shocked rear axle, copper brake pipes, and a sports intercooler and expansion bottle to keep the engine running cool under the hood, as well as a new exhaust system.

At the time of cataloguing the Land Rover had recorded 1,198 miles, yet it is surely ready for many more – having been fully refurbished and presented to a highly detailed standard, it is described as being in amazing driving condition and in truly impressive cosmetic order, as well. There are few better-prepared, more exciting and well-equipped Defenders available on the market today.
