Description
For sale is a very rare Land Rover Defender 90 50th Anniversary Edition, one of only 1,071 units produced globally to mark Land Rover's 50 years. This model is powered by the iconic 4.0L V8 petrol engine mated to a smooth ZF automatic gearbox a unique combination exclusive to the 50th. This is number 296 and I have owned her for four years. lots of paperwork in a box file and most importantly she drives better than any defender I have owned, being totally reliable and superbly sprung. No wobbling the steering wheel to drive straight! The negatives are tired bodywork - not so bad around the sides but a couple of annoying dings on the bonnet and a very badly peeling roof that needs a respray. Note a couple of mastic covered holes where I removed old CB aerials. Plate will be roved on day of sale. Original on archive shots in photo gallery. Headlining being re glued and getting a quote to repaint the roof so make your offers now to get it as cheap as possible.
