The Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel-drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2. 5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/ diesel engine and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
First registered on 14th September 2009, this visually imposing Defender 90, with its external 'off-road' accessories, has a 'ready for adventure' appearance. Displaying a credible 137, 000 miles on the odometer, this 2009 Defender has benefitted from upgrades that include a ‘ghost immobiliser’ and a 'Clifford' alarm system, a front and rear dash cam, solar panels connected to leisure battery, roof rack, spot lamps (front and rear), bull bars, headlight guards on the LED headlights, bumper LEDs, 18” Gloss Black sawtooth-style alloys wheels and a snorkel. There are invoices for over £8, 000 spent in servicing and maintenance over the last 3 years. This year, some £1, 173 was spent on rust treatment to the off-side ‘A’ post and rear panel with rust-proofing subsequently added. £680 was spent on the handbrake and prop shaft bolts and £1, 945 spent on a ‘major service’ (March 2024 at 131, 000 miles), greased props, drive flanges, universal joints and lock stops, renewed front differential oil, replacement rear shocks and poly-bushed rear trailing and triangle arm bushes. In 2022, £1, 505 was spent on the clutch assembly, handbrake shoes and prop nuts, £4, 059 spent on the rear axle, exhaust, wheel bearings, brake system and a ‘major service’ that included engine, gearbox oil, differential oil and coolant fluid. There are two service books tracking nine main dealer services up until c. 91, 000 miles, it has since been serviced every c. 10, 000 miles by Land Rover specialists. It is being supplied with numerous invoices, an owner’s handbook, the two service books and a current V5C.
