Lot details

Registration No: BN58 RWL
Chassis No: SALLDVBS79A769131
MOT: July 2024

  • Used on the Sandringham Estate when new
  • Registered new to the Land Rover Company Fleet and only one keeper since
  • First service completed in 2010 with just 679 miles on the odometer upon leaving Royal duties
  • Less than 42,000 miles from new

The now iconic Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 Defender vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel-drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engines characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Manufactured new in 2008, the Defender offered was supplied through the Land Rover Vehicle Operations at Gaydon and was registered new to the Land Rover Company Fleet. Reputedly the late Queen’s favourite marque, Land Rovers have long been synonymous with the monarchy and their residencies, with this example being one such vehicle, having spent just over its first year on the Sandringham Estate. Covering minimal mileage while there, ‘BN58 RWL’ had its first service completed by Harwoods Land Rover upon leaving the estate in 2010 at only 679 miles. Subsequently sold through Harwoods Land Rover to the only private keeper since Royal employment, said keeper was informed by the dealer at the time of purchase of the Land Rovers past at Sandringham.

Offered now having covered under 42,000 miles from new, the Land Rover is finished in the attractive and lesser-seen hue of Galway Green with a Black cloth-trimmed cabin. Accompanied by a history file that includes numerous previous MOTs, the service book which illustrates five services with most of them completed by main dealers, a current V5C document, and a no advisory MOT certificate until July 2024. Having spent just over its first year at Sandringham, it is not unlikely that the Land Rover ferried Royalty around the estate during its time there and thus is a very interesting offering.
