1998 Land Rover 110 Defender County Swtdi

Highlights

  • Recently replaced sunroof and back door
  • Safari windows for added charm
  • Seats up to 12, ideal for family outings
  • Regularly serviced engine and underside
  • Stored in a covered barn

The Appeal

Angular, imposing and capable - if 'rugged' was a vehicle, we guarantee it'd be the Defender. These enduring off-roaders are one of the most famous Land Rover products in history, and thanks to the County package, made for excellent family cars, too. It was a golden age for the 4x4, and to this day, a good Defender County is a highly prized addition to any fleet.

This 1998 example, for instance, is capable of seating twelve, with safari windows and a new back door recently installed. It's been a hard working, but beautifully cared for vehicle, and is still ready and waiting to demonstrate its grit for the lucky new owner.
