The Appeal

So, you're looking for your next family wagon. Yeah, ok sure, you could go and buy a new Skoda Kodiaq or a BMW X3, but come on, you're more interesting than that...

Buy the sort of family car that your kids will remember for years to come. Make every school run an adventure with this expedition-ready Land Rover Defender. We think this high-specced 110 XS fits the bill perfectly with seven seats, an interior you can quite literally hose out if you want to and a cool factor that's off the scale.

Featuring a host of desirable extras such as air conditioning, heated seats, and a full-length ‘Expedition’ roof rack, it's a really versatile example. The vendor informs us that it benefits from full service history, having been looked after by several well-regarded marque specialists, and recent significant mechanical work includes a new clutch and rebuilt transfer box.

Handsomely appointed in Metallic Gunmetal Grey and sporting a safari-style bull bar and snorkel, this Land Rover looks ready to take on just about anything life can throw at it. It's clearly been very well-looked after, so don't miss this excellent opportunity to make it yours.
