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. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Supplied by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October 2005, this example has covered a warranted c.10,000 miles with one private lady owner from new. The vendor informs us that no VAT is owing on the vehicle. Presenting in original unmolested condition and never restored, it has had new tyres and wipers, due to perishing rubber, and a battery fitted in recent years. Dealer plates and stickers are original (on chassis and tow bar along with dealer stickers in back window and tax disc holder) as well as the protective plastic sticker on the heater controls inside. We are advised the clutch is light and, as one would expect, the steering is smooth and light and off-road comfort is second to none. Never used for towing or off road use, this fine example is finished in a traditional countryside colourway of White over 'Belize Green' and comes with Swansea V5C and a new MOT.
