2001 Land Rover Defender 110 TD5
Highlights
- Original and well kept 9 seat Defender
- Mechanical upgrades to improve high speed use
- Supplied with useful range of accessories
- Solid and very presentable classic Defender
- Economical, practical and capacious 4x4
- Long MOT to May 2025 with no advisories
The Appeal
Here is it, the original SUV. With space for nine, an economical and reliable 5cyl diesel engine and the all-road capabilities for which the Defender is renowned, is there any other vehicle you and your family actually need?
For all those reasons, good, honest and original examples like this one are worth seeking out. Finished in white with original decals, grey interior and only light signs of use, this 2001 TD5 has had just five keepers in its 23 years.
The vendor had it fully checked over by specialist Walton Motors when he bought it earlier this year. This, along with a check over by his mechanic, verified the strong structural and mechanical condition. The head gasket was replaced shortly after purchase. It was bought for family touring so there is a range of new accessories included in the sale. But a decision to slim down his fleet means that it is now reluctantly for sale.
The buyer gets a great example of these 9 seat 4x4s and the benefit of those accessories and that recent engine work. A recent service and long, advisory-free MOT to May 2025 add further reassurance.
