The 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 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.
Updated for the final time in August 2011, the Land Rover Defender gained a new more efficient ZSD-422 2.2 litre turbodiesel engine which incorporated a diesel particulate filter and was Euro V emissions standards compliant. Otherwise, the Defender was palpably recognisable as a direct descendant of the very first 80-inch Series One Landie which had debuted some sixty-three years’ earlier. A motoring icon the world over, separate chassis Land Rovers have proven indefatigable workhorses in agricultural, commercial, military and civilian guises. Sorely missed since production finished on 29th January 2016, late, low mileage Defenders remain highly sought after.
Purchased new in 2013 by its one and only owner, this Defender has covered less than 10,000 miles since. The specification includes; snorkel, sun visor, seat riser, side step, tow bar, differential cover and top rear light. Finished in burgundy red with a white roof, its presentation is testament to the low use it has enjoyed. We understand the oil and filter were changed at 5,000 miles and this desirable example comes with service book, owners manual and wallet, a collection of old MOT certificates and a Swansea V5C confirming its single owner history.
