Description
This 2005 Land Rover Defender 2.5 TD5 has been meticulously cared for throughout its life and is an exceptionally well-preserved example. With just two owners from new, low mileage and an extensive service history, finding another TD5 in this condition would be increasingly difficult.
The Defender has recently undergone a comprehensive three-day Dinitrol underside treatment and rust-proofing process by South West Rust Proofing in Westbury. Full photographic and video documentation showing the vehicle before, during and after the treatment is included within the history file, giving complete confidence in the condition underneath.
The bodywork has also been maintained to a very high standard. More recently, the wheels, roof and rear tub have been professionally refurbished by Lodge Road Land Rover. This work was carried out purely as part of the ongoing cosmetic preservation of the vehicle rather than as a result of any significant damage or deterioration.
For modern-day usability, the Defender has been sympathetically upgraded with a Pioneer touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay, together with upgraded speakers, providing hands-free calling, navigation and music while retaining the character of the original interior. Importantly, the original stereo and speakers have been carefully kept and will be supplied with the vehicle for originality.
The vehicle has an extensive service history with nine recorded services carried out by Land Rover specialists. It also benefits from near-new tyres, refurbished wheels, tow bar with electrics, two keys and a comprehensive history file documenting its maintenance and preservation.
Mechanically, it drives exactly as a well-maintained TD5 should and is a genuine pleasure to drive.
With only two owners from new, low mileage, excellent provenance and substantial preventative maintenance already undertaken, this is a Defender that has clearly been cherished rather than simply tidied up for sale.
I am in no rush to sell and would ideally like the vehicle to go to the right collector, enthusiast or someone looking for an unusually well-preserved TD5 to continue enjoying and maintaining.
