Few vehicles have been as keenly anticipated as the replacement for the original Land Rover, which when production ceased in 2016 had been around for a remarkable 68 years. It would be another three years before the launch of the replacement; known as the 'Defender', just like the model it replaced, the latter was first shown to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019. Principal difference between the newcomer and its forebears was unitary construction of the aluminium chassis/body, replacing the traditional separate chassis, while in place of the old beam axles there was all-independent suspension. Indeed, the new Defender shared no components with its immediate predecessor. Three-door 90 and five-door 110 models were offered, the numbers, as ever, referring to the wheelbase length in inches.

"It's boxy shape and retro details recall the 1950's original and combine with Land Rover's modern design language to create an appearance that's both sophisticated and nostalgic," declared Car & Driver, continuing: "While the 2020 Defender looks like an ordinary crossover, it has serious off-road capabilities and rugged components that help it live up to its go-anywhere heritage."

Engines available at time of introduction ranged from a 196bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel up to a 398bhp turbo-diesel six (only available in the 110), while for 2021 three new turbo-diesel sixes were introduced: D200, D250 and D300. ZF eight-speed automatic transmission was common to all models. No fewer than eight alternative trim lines were offered across the model range, and customers had a choice of four accessory packs: Explorer, Adventure, Urban, and Country.

As seen here, the D300 is equipped a 296bhp inline six-cylinder diesel engine offering a stump-pulling 479lb/ft of torque. As an SE model it comes with adjustable air suspension as standard, while this particular car also has the enhanced HSE interior trim level. Other desirable extra-cost options include the Urban wide-track kit; privacy window glass; WS1 Urban Sawblade alloy wheels; grey rear lights; ladder; and side box (in black). Bills for all the after-sales upgrades totalling circa £20,000 are available. Finished in Santorini Black with matching interior, this beautiful 'New Generation' Defender has covered 34,000 miles from new and is described by our vendor as in great condition throughout. Offered with bills and a V5C document.

Please note this vehicle does not come with the registration 19 DEF and will be offered with an age related registration number.
