- Corrosion-free example imported from Spain; chassis since cleaned and repainted

- Bodywork resprayed in Gun Metal Grey with Raptor-coating applied to cargo area and roof
- Professionally retrimmed interior with brown leather and grey velour

The Appeal
The 130 was the largest and many would say the most useful variant of the Land Rover Defender ever made. Incorporating a full-length pickup bed and double-cab bodywork, 130 Defenders have proved well-suited to site work, especially in High Cap form in which the widened load bay can accommodate a full-size pallet.
This 2008 example is reportedly corrosion-free, having been imported from the dry climate of Spain. The chassis has since been cleaned, stripped and repainted and so presents very well for its age. The bodywork also looks straight and sound, and it has recently been refinished in Gun Metal Grey while a Raptor-coating has been applied to the cargo area and roof. The interior too has undergone restoration, with retrimmed upholstery in brown leather and grey velour, while the headliner is finished in black Alcantara. This Land Rover is also equipped with working air conditioning - a rare and desirable feature in Defenders of this era. Moreover, there have been a series of mechanical upgrades from specialists including Old Man Emu, Adrenalin 4x4, Gwyn Lewis 4x4, MP4x4, Terrafirma, and Mantec.
