Land Rover Defender 90 50th Anniversary V8 Auto 1998 (S reg)
This lovely car is for sale as it has been living in France for 10 years and has been returned to the UK after being replaced with a French registered 50th V8. These are most probably the best Defenders ever (the reason why it was replaced with the same model), the smooth V8 quite a world away from the more recent Ford Transit engined tractors. She purrs along smoothly and quietly but is happy to slingshot up to unreasonable speeds if requested.
The LE model (This one is Limited Edition Number 207 of only 385 UK examples) was manufactured to celebrate 50 years of Land Rover production and all came in Metallic Atlantis Blue.
First registered in August 1998. Rover 4. 0L V8 with a 4 speed Automatic transmission
93500 miles from new. Good Condition with 5 previous owners.
A few dings, some surface corrosion and a bit of rear door corrosion. Otherwise very solid and well looked-after.
New stainless steel exhaust (very tricky to get hold of).
The car is MOT'd until September 2025.
The price is reasonably set due to the various paint imperfections, but as you can see she is shiny and clean inside and out. She was driven 1, 000 miles or so back to the UK this Summer without incident of course. A 6-seater Defender is a must for any family and a V8 one is so smooth it is as much at home in the mud and in the city.
