Description

There's something undeniably special about a classic Land Rover Defender 90 Pick Up and this one has been a much-loved companion rather than simply a vehicle. A genuine example, this Defender has been carefully maintained and lightly used throughout its life, covering just 45,358 miles from new. Finished in the timeless and wonderfully characterful Tamar Blue with a contrasting white roof, it looks every bit the iconic British workhorse while still turning heads wherever it goes. Sitting proudly on its original 16-inch white steel wheels wrapped in Michelin Latitude Cross tyres, it has that honest, purposeful stance that Defenders wear so well. Under the bonnet sits the dependable 2.2-litre TDCI engine paired with the six-speed manual gearbox, delivering the rugged, go-anywhere driving experience that makes these vehicles so beloved. Whether trundling through country lanes, towing with ease, or heading off for a weekend adventure, this Defender feels built for a life outdoors. Inside, the cabin is wonderfully authentic and unspoiled, with grey cloth seats, classic heating and ventilation controls, wind-up windows, and the centrally mounted analogue clock reminding you this is a proper old-school Land Rover. A JVC CD head unit has been fitted for modern convenience while keeping the cabin true to its roots. This Defender has clearly wanted for nothing mechanically. It passed its MOT first time on 8 May 2026 with a clean bill of health and was serviced only weeks earlier in April 2026. The service history is extensive and reassuring, with regular maintenance carried out throughout its life, much of it by Marshwood Garage. Particularly notable was the major service in August 2023 at 41,868 miles, which included fresh oils and filters, brake work, greasing of linkages and points, and a thorough mechanical check-over. Service history includes: * Apr 2026 - 45,330 miles * Jul 2025 - 44,759 miles - Marshwood Garage * Sep 2024 - 43,155 miles - Marshwood Garage * Aug 2023 - 41,868 miles - Marshwood Garage * Oct 2021 - 35,741 miles - Harvey's of Pickhill * Aug 2019 - Marshwood Garage * Oct 2017 - 24,838 miles * Sep 2016 - 22,099 miles * Feb 2014 - 8,874 miles * Feb 2013 - 4,128 miles Naturally, as with any cherished Defender that has been enjoyed properly, there are a few honest signs of age and use, including a split in the driver's rubber floor mat but these only add to its authenticity and charm.
