There were a number of limited editions of the venerable Defender during its lifetime, among the most desirable of which were the examples built in 2013, in celebration of Land Rover's 65^th birthday. Christened the LXV (65 in Roman numerals), the edition was limited to 65 vehicles, making it very rare from the outset. Each was based on the two-door Defender 90 hardtop model and powered by the company's proven 120bhp 2.2-litre diesel driving through a six-speed manual gearbox.

Special exterior treatment that defined the LXV included Santorini Black paintwork teamed with contrasting Corris Grey roof grille and headlight surrounds, and 16-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels. The interior boasted leather trimmed seats with LXV-embossed headrests and unique orange stitching for the seats, and centre storage compartment. A union flag decal and LXV logo on the rear completed the unique LXV package.

The example now being sold goes a stage further having been upgraded by Twisted Automotive and even features an LXV registration. The Twisted upgrades include full sound deadening, re-map, heated seats, Xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights and a replacement radio. Originally registered to the supplying dealership, ‘M90 LXV’ entered into its sole private family ownership at approximately a year old, remaining with them until being offered today (adding to two registered keepers) and is understood to have had just one driver throughout this time.

Said to have been ‘well maintained’ throughout the family's ownership, the Land Rover has covered some 88,500 miles from new. Offered with service history records, previous MOT records, and a current V5C, this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of just 65 of the limited edition examples.

PLEASE NOTE: VAT is payable on the hammer price achieved by this lot (as well as on the buyer’s premium).
