Highlights

Solid, clean example of the X-Tech Defender makeover
Attractive silver livery
Highly original condition
MOT valid until March 2025

The Appeal

While the Defender is always going to be a rugged workhorse first and foremost, it's no secret that it's happily flirted with the well-to-do for quite some time. The 2011 X-Tech was dedicated to exactly that audience, loaded with high-market options and embracing the ever-increasing market adoration of the SUV.

This example comes to us in very good order, still very solid and ready and waiting to prove itself on or off the road. The X-Tech is amongst the most desirable of the Defender's Limited Editions thanks to it being so eminently usable, still a classic Defender and loaded with creature comforts. This is an excellent chance to get behind the wheel.
