Registration No: GD15 PZA
Chassis No: SALLDWRP7FA474446
MOT: July 2026
An obvious evolution of the first Land Rover which had debuted at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, the final, separate chassis Defender – a short wheelbase ‘90’ version with a full-length canvas tilt - rolled off the production line on 29th January 2016 (and straight into the manufacturer’s collection). Conscious that the legendary off-roader’s approach and departure angles, both an astounding forty-seven degrees, were incompatible with upcoming pedestrian safety legislation, the Solihull-based firm had put its loyal client base on notice during 2013. Announced two years later, the Heritage, Adventure and Autobiography run-out models sold-out quickly and still command a premium.
Finding the trio too gimmicky and flashy for his tastes, the vendor commissioned his own tribute to the Series 1 Landies he had grown up around. Completed in Summer 2015, chassis SALLDWRP7FA474446 was specifically ordered as a Single Cab Pick-Up with a Rear Canvas Tilt. Finished in non-metallic Keswick Green with Black cloth upholstery, it did without electric windows, air-conditioning, central locking, leather seats, deep pile carpets or a sub-woofer! Utilising the same 2.2-litre turbodiesel, ‘Euro 5’ compliant engine as all the last-of-the-line L316 Defenders, it also featured a six-speed manual gearbox, painted steel wheels and basic door mirrors.
Undergoing its pre-delivery inspection on June 3rd 2015 at supplying dealer Guy Salmon of Maidstone, the Single Cab Pick-Up still sports the number plates they affixed not to mention its factory-applied dealer allocation windscreen sticker. Purchased out of nostalgia rather than necessity, ‘GD15 PZA’ has led a charmed existence thus far. Warranted to have covered a mere 124 miles from new, it has nevertheless been serviced twice and regularly MOT tested (the current certificate runs until July 2026). Having a greater sentimental attachment to other Landies on his farm, the seller has now decided to let someone else complete the 90’s running-in process or preserve its ‘nigh on as new’ condition. Kept in a weather tight barn and yet to see rain, ‘GD15 PZA’ is worthy of close inspection. A world away from some of its ‘pimped’ siblings with a deliberately ‘back to basics’ specification, this exceptional Single Cab Pick-Up exudes authenticity. One for the collector.
