Here at Autothentic in York we are pleased to offer this exceptional 2002 Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 County Hard Top SUV, presented following a comprehensive restoration with significant investment in excess of £40,000 by its previous owner. This is not your typical Defender. The vehicle has undergone a major structural rebuild, including the installation of a brand new chassis, bulkhead, and subframes, along with extensive renewal of the underpinnings, suspension components, and running gear. The result is a solid, corrosion-free foundation that sets this example apart from standard vehicles on the market. The original engine is retained, showing approximately 166,518 miles, and benefits from the inherent durability these units are known for. It provides an honest driving experience consistent with the Defender's character. Inside, the vehicle has been tastefully upgraded with a retrimmed leather interior, complemented by a modernised cabin featuring: Momo removable steering wheel, Pioneer infotainment / stereo system, Air conditioning, Electric window adjustment and Heated seats. Security has also been thoughtfully enhanced, with a removable steering wheel & steering lock system, and pedal box lock providing additional peace of mind. Importantly, photographic documentation of the rebuild is available, offering clear evidence of the work carried out and the level of investment involved. This Defender represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a properly restored example with a new structural base, combining classic character with modern usability and upgrades. **Autothentic's Exceptional Approved Used Vehicle Preparation** We take immense pride in ensuring that every vehicle meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and presentation.
