Description
This example started life as a 2008 Defender 110 XS and was registered to its first owner in July 2008. The second keeper then purchased the vehicle just over a year later in August of 2009 and kept it for the following 11 years, in which time it was used thoroughly as intended.
It was then parked up for a considerable amount of time, gaining a thick layer of dirt a moss over the already tired exterior and this is where the current vendor stepped in.
After purchasing in June 2021 he set about not only treating the Defender to a well earned recommissioning, but also to improve and personalise to a high standard.
Make no mistake, this is not your average Defender.
To begin with the Defender was completely stripped to its component parts. The rusty areas were treated or replaced and the chassis and underside treated in Dinnitrol.
Gone is the rear cab section; replaced with a Masai panoramic full glass rear unit, and a fresh coat of Corris Grey paint was applied along with a contrasting black gloss roof.
While the shell was bare our vendor fitted Dynamatt sound proofing throughout the inside and on the underside of the bonnet to ensure noise is kept to a minimum and the interior was then meticulously planned from the ground up; Lucari luxury carpets fitted and 4 Corbeau seats mounted front and rear (it still has the two extra seats in the rear making it a very flexible six - seater). Lucari cubby boxes were fitted both in the front and rear, and nearly every surface was treated to a covering of rich leather.
The Masai suede roof lining compliments the now rejuvenated insides, and gone is the original audio, in its place a full compliment of upgrades, all neatly hidden away.
We simply cannot explain the level of detail this Defender has been subject to - from new stainless fixings, to items such as seatbelts, door and window seals - near everything has either been refurbished or replaced.
One area which did not require work was the running gear, the 2.4 litre turbo diesel engine performing in fine health. This did not stop our vendor from carrying out some preventative maintenance and choice upgrades however - please take time to review the full list below.
What now stands before you is not only a fully recommissioned Defender but one customised from the heart, with no expense spared.
