Description
If you're reading this, chances are you already know what this is - the mighty Defender 90. Not the new shiny, tech-filled one that comes with a cappuccino machine and a yoga mat holder, but the real-deal, proper Land Rover. The one that looks good dirty and isn't afraid of a bit of hard graft.
This one's a 2011 2.4 TDCi Pickup, and it's a rare find - one owner from new and just 63,000 miles on the clock. That's basically still in its prime, especially for one of these.
Now let's talk upgrades. Nothing over the top - just tasteful, practical enhancements that make it look the part and drive even better:
Chunky upgraded wheels and tyres ready to take on the world (or at least a field or two)
Side steps - because jumping in like a stuntman gets old quickly
Rear protection bars for when life (or a trailer) throws surprises your way
Colour-coded arches and an upgraded front grille - subtle but effective
LED lights all around so you can actually see where you're going at night
Recaro-style seats that hug you like a supportive mate
Carpeted interior - yes, comfort in a Defender is now a thing
Best of all, it's solid and rust-free - no flaky chassis, no surprises. Just a genuinely straight and clean example with a few age-related marks here and there, as expected for a vehicle that's been used, not babied in a glass box.
Whether you're after a rugged workhorse, a weekend toy, or something to polish in the driveway while your neighbours nod approvingly - this Defender ticks all the boxes.
These aren't getting any easier to find, especially in this condition, with low miles and a proper ownership history. So if you're serious, come have a look - but be quick, these tend to vanish faster than your mate when the bill arrives.
