The Appeal

Perhaps the ultimate definition of 'modern classic'. The Defender was a natural evolution for the Land Rover, and proved itself in more ways than one. Remaining in production for over a quarter of a century, these rugged 4x4s are still the backbone of the off-roader market in Europe, and are still highly clamoured for.

This fine 2014 example is a long-wheelbase variant with a 2.2-litre Puma engine and perfectly represents all of that imposing utility character you'd expect from one of Solihull's greatest achievements. It boasts a black metallic livery, winch, snorkel, and sidesteps. Supplied with an enviably low mileage and a valid MOT, we're confident this will prove a very rewarding addition to your fleet.
