KEY FACTS

• A striking example of the Land Rover Defender 90 XS, offered in excellent overall condition and benefitting from a thorough restoration as well as replacement engine approximately 1,000 miles ago.
• Under the bonnet is the 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel inline-four, producing around 120bhp and 265lb ft of torque, powering all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
• This Defender has had only two previous owners, and has been with its current keeper for the last seven years.

• Furthermore, it has been fully soundproofed and fitted with bespoke deep-pile carpets, along with a Momo sports steering wheel and a Pioneer AVIC-Z930 infotainment system which retails for close to £1,000.
