Highlights
- The ubiquitous Land Rover Defender, finished in an imposing, plain black
- Original 2004 Defender 110 with no major modifications, complete with six-seater crew cab
- Thorough service history with invoices and handbooks
- Freshly MoT'd with no advisories
The Appeal
Whether it’s due to its royal warrant or sheer ruggedness, the Land Rover Defender is a constant presence in the UK. Practically unchanged since its earlier years, the Defender’s boxy profile and roaring diesel engine are still common sights in rural idylls, and remain one of the most capable off-roaders on the market. The crew cab provides the practicality of the truck bed with a six-seater passenger vehicle - tow vehicle, off-roader or Sunday driver, this Defender is about as versatile as it comes.
This example has a good working history, a full stack of invoices and shows minimal wear commensurate with age. Since the original Defender ended production in 2016, these rugged vehicles are constantly being worn down due to their often utilitarian roles - so examples like this are becoming increasingly rare.

Summary
While the Land Rover is ubiquitous, the nature of their work means that they’re often kept until completely life expired. As a result, it’s a rare call to see a 2004 vehicle arrive in such good condition, with all of its original fabric. Thanks to the crew cab, this one's going to be a perfect family car on the town as readily as it will be scaling the moors on a weekend!
While it’s no luxury car, every ounce of that utilitarian power is clear to see and feel from this fabulous example. If you haven’t had the pleasure of going up a dirt road in one of these, it’s the perfect opportunity to see what all of the fuss is about.
