1999 Land Rover Defender Wolf Winter Wader

Highlights

  • One of only approximately 50 Winter Waders built for the Royal Marines
  • Just 37,564 miles and meticulously maintained by the MOD
  • Recently repainted body and chassis with new vinyls applied
  • Capable of operating in extreme conditions, from 1.5m water to -48 degrees C
  • Equipped with an auxiliary Webasto heater for front, rear, and battery box

The Appeal

The Land Rover Wolf Winter Wader is a vehicle that commands respect. Born out of the need for a rugged, reliable, and versatile vehicle for the Royal Marines, it is a testament to Land Rover's commitment to serving the British Armed Forces.

This particular 1999 model is one of only approximately 50 Winter Waders ever built, making it a rare find for any collector or enthusiast. Its low mileage and meticulous maintenance by the MOD, coupled with a recent repaint and component replacements, make it an exceptional example of this military-grade vehicle. Whether you're an off-road adventurer or a military vehicle enthusiast, this Land Rover Wolf Winter Wader is a unique opportunity not to be missed.
