2009 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90 SVX

This Land Rover Defender 90 SVX is a very rare limited-edition of the iconic ‘go anywhere’ 4x4, presented in excellent condition and with low mileage. Its engine is the 2.4-litre TDCI inline-four, with permanent four-wheel drive via a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 40,500 miles from new.

Announced in late 2007, the Defender 90 SVX marked the 60th Anniversary of the model, and was equipped with a raft of special features. Finished exclusively in metallic black, it had a bespoke chunky silver fascia for the grille and headlight clusters, as well as an external silver roll cage. There were satin ‘60 Years’ graphics applied to the doors and bonnet, and it was fitted with 16-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels and a more sophisticated suspension setup. The cabin was upgraded with half-leather heated Recaro seats, with standard air-conditioning and heated screens.

Initially, it is understood that only 300 examples of the SVX were to be built, and this car - number as 238 - is believed to be from that production run. In 2009, Land Rover began to offer the same specification in a 110 body style, which was distributed to other countries. This particular car is an original UK-market 90 SVX Soft Top, first registered in September 2009, and with four previous registered keepers. The seller has owned the car for two years, covering some 4,000 miles in that time.

The body panels are all in good order, with no accident damage or unsightly dents. Its Santorini Black paintwork also presents very well, with only some minor chips around the lower body. There are also a few flakes in the silver paint around the offside headlight cluster and on the external roll cage. It retains the original satin decals on the bonnet and doors, and is also equipped with side protection runners. The 16-inch alloys are in great shape.

In the cabin, the half-leather Recaro sport seats are in good condition, with only minor scuffs on the driver and passenger seat bolsters. The interior also features leather trim around the steering wheel, and billet alloy gear knobs. There are a few small marks and scuffs to some of the plastics, and some fading to the push buttons. Under the passenger seat, the vinyl covering on the mounting box has a few rips. This is strictly a two-seater Defender, and taking up most of the space in the back is a heavy-duty lockable drawer storage case, as well as a full-size spare wheel.

Its last scheduled maintenance was in December 2019 at Inchcape Land Rover in Guildford, which was a full 10-year service. Accompanying the car is a complete original book pack, including the stamped guarantee and maintenance record.

The most recent MOT test was carried out on 23 December 2019 at 40,274 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. Its wheels are fitted with a set of Continental CrossContact tyres in size 235/85 R16, which are in good condition with plenty of tread remaining.

This Land Rover Defender 90 SVX Soft Top is a stylish limited edition of the automotive design icon, and is an incredibly rare sight on the road. Whether you’re just pottering around town, or if you choose to explore its capabilities off-road, this Defender is sure to put a big smile on your face, and attract plenty of curious and admiring glances.
