The Appeal

With Land Rovers, what the factory start, their owners finish. There's a thriving customisation scene, with innumerable specialists willing to help you build the ultimate Defender to your own exacting specifications.

The owner of this 1993 example points out that this Land Rover is unique in its appearance following extensive restoration to a very good standard. They've owned it since 2015, carrying out all this work with Steve Parker Land Rover Ltd for which a full record of new parts used in the re build is included in the sale. The respray in 'Hickory Brown' reportedly cist £4,000 alone and the numerous add-ons like oversized wheels, black Fire & Ice side steps and black chequer plate really make this Landy stand out.

Imported from Cyprus, where the climate has no doubt been very kind to it, this Land Rover is remarkably well-preserved for its age. it comes with a long MOT and benefits from recent fresh set of BF Goodrich tyres.
