2009 Land Rover Defender 90 County Hard Top SWB
Highlights
- Low mileage of under 57,000 miles
- Long term current keeper since 2013
- Serviced annually regardless of mileage
- High specification County in desirable colour scheme
- Practical working vehicle with a dash of style too
- Long MOT to October 2025
The Appeal
Some Defenders are more style statement than workhorse. Others are the reverse. Here is that rare third way - a high specification Defender 90 County that looks good but has been upgraded for use as it was intended.
Finished in silver metallic with black wheels, it is a highly equipped SWB hard top in good condition. The upgrades includes snorkel, ZU wheels, 1 inch lowered suspension, upgraded springs and dampers, 25 mm wheel spacers and poly bush kit. The condition is due to the sparing use - the mileage is under 57,000 miles - and regular servicing by the current keeper who acquired it in 2013.
It is only for sale due to lack of use. With a long MOT to October 2025, this is a splendid workhorse that is ready for winter.
