Description
This is an excellent opportunity to own a very original, well-cared-for 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 300TDi, configured with 7 seats. I have consistently maintained this Defender and it's received significant recent improvements to ensure reliability and performance. The truck has recently been fitted with a new steering box, new turbo, new timing belt, new radiator, and new water pump. The P-gasket has also been replaced to prevent coolant leaks and maintain peak performance. Additionally, over the past year, the Defender has received a new expansion tank, a fan belt replacement, new head and necessary dash wiring repairs to ensure everything functions smoothly. I have ensured that all work has been carried out by a Land Rover Specialist. It has just completed its 6,000-mile oil and filter change and has 12 months on the MOT, so it's ready for regular use and further adventures. Both the chassis and body are in very good condition with just a few small areas of rust, which is typical for a Defender of this age. The rust is minimal and surface-level only, with no structural impact. This Defender shows the usual, age-related marks and minor scratches both inside and out, these are only cosmetic however. There is some rust in the foot wells, but again this is minor and they are both structurally sound. The Chassis, both outer and inner, has benefited from two treatments of Lanoguard Moto Spray and Grease to aid rust protection and weatherproofing. Both treatments have been within the last 12 months. The vehicle is currently used daily, and I will continue to drive her up until the day of sale. She comes with a complete service history, and I have all receipts for recent work, as well as a full historical record, giving a clear account of its careful maintenance. All recent work has been performed by a Land Rover Specialist, ensuring the vehicle is in top shape mechanically. With the highly regarded 300TDi engine and a host of recent improvements, this Defender 90 is as capable on rough terrain as it is reliable for everyday driving. The 7-seater configuration adds flexibility, making it ideal for families, groups, or those who simply want the extra space while retaining the iconic Land Rover look and feel. The vehicle is currently located in North Pembrokeshire, UK. If you're interested, please get in touch to arrange a viewing or for more information. Serious inquiries only, please.
