1993 Land Rover Defender 90

Smart 4-owner County style example with rear seats in good order ready for use in the town or countryside showing just 78,836 miles

Dating from August 1993 this attractive Defender 90 Short Wheel Base looks to have started life as an airport support unit according to the Experian report and is fitted with the venerable, and proven 200TDi engine producing 107Bhp and a useful 264NM of torque driving all four wheels via 5-speed manual transmission with diff lock plus high and low ratio boxes.

Rebuilt 10 years ago with a new chassis by Trafalgar Motors of Yorkshire prior to our vendor's purchase it is finished in an attractive shade of blue with silver head light surrounds and grill, black checker plates to the wing tops and rear bumper, side bar steps and Boost alloy wheels shod with grippy 16inch BF Goodrich All-Terrain tyres the Defender looks ready to tackle any eventuality.

The Experian report online shows the truck to have had just 3 previous owners to the current of 10 years who kept the Defender in Southern Spain during his ownership using it only lightly during the last 5 years due to illness, and shows just 78,836 miles – uncommonly low for these most usable of 4x4s.

The MOT history suggests this mileage to be accurate, a quick online check shows the mileage rising steadily from 57,948 miles in 2005 to what we see now with a gap between 2015 and 2021 whilst the truck was abroad in Spain and did not return, prior to that it returned annually for an MOT and family time in the UK. The history file includes only the new keeper supplement 2 old MOTs from 2013 and 2014 plus the current, valid until November 2022 with no advisories recorded.

There was no V5C at the time of cataloguing, the vendor having mislaid it during his move back to the UK from Spain, so a V62 form is included for the new owner to apply to DVLA for one along with a cheque for £25 (not included).

Presenting well both atop and underneath (no surprise given ut had a new chassis and has lived in warm, dry Southern Spain) there are but a few minor cosmetics commensurate with its age/use/vehicle type as pictured but in general it looks to be a very presentable example with seating for 3 up front, County style side windows and a bench seat either side in the back and useful tow hitch.
