2009 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90 PICK UP

KEY FACTS

• A low-mileage example of a capable 4x4, with a re-trimmed cabin plus other upgrades to enhance the appearance and performance.

• Under the bonnet sits the 2.4-litre engine, remapped to produce around 150bhp, coupled to the six-speed manual transmission.

• It benefits from a strong specialist maintenance history and has never received so much as a single advisory during annual MOT tests.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in the smart combination of Galway Green over a black leather interior, it rides on SVX-style alloy wheels, and has the SVX-type front grille and side steps.

• Its engine has been upgraded with an Alive Tuning Stage 1 remap, which typically raises power to around 150bhp.

• The Defender is also equipped with a Mantec raised air intake snorkel.

• Other exterior enhancements include black chequer plate metal around the lower body and on top of the front wings, plus LED rear lights with protective trims, and a smart black soft top cover over the load bay.

• The cabin is equipped with Exmoor Trim Diamond XS Sport seats with matching cubby box upholstery.

• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included, along with a raft of maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.

• Its original Galway Green paintwork is in great shape, though the vendor has reported a few scuffs above the nearside rear wheel arch and some light scratches on the inside of the rear tailgate. There is also some surface scratching around the door handles.

• Inside, its Exmoor Trim seats are in excellent condition, with just a few light creases to the outer driver’s bolster, and small indentations on the top rear edges where they have been resting on the rear window catches.

• No electrical faults have been detected.

• The most recent MOT test was on 2 November 2020 at 35,270 miles, which was the car’s ninth clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its last routine maintenance was in May 2021 at 36,067 miles, where technicians at Gumtree 4x4 Ltd in Hassocks, West Sussex changed the engine oil and filter, and also renewed the A-frame ball joint and fulcrum.

• The underside has benefited from a Waxoyl coating.

SUMMARY

This Land Rover Defender 90 Pick Up is a lightly modified example of the British icon, with a plush cabin, low mileage and a comprehensive specialist maintenance history. It would now make a practical daily runner, though remains entirely capable off-road, and benefits from enhanced performance as well as a more eye-catching appearance.
