Highlights
- This Defender is a U.K-spec truck equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and is titled and located in Louisiana. The odometer reads in imperial units and indicates approximately 113,200 miles.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report begins in 2023 and indicates no accidents during the given time period.
- This Defender reportedly underwent extensive refurbishment by Mad Rover Imports in Durham, North Carolina. A partial list of notable equipment includes 16-inch Land Rover Sawtooth wheels, an exterior repaint in Bonatti Gray Metallic, KBX Hi-Force wing top air intakes, LED halo headlights, front grille, and front grille inserts, and leather upholstery.
- Land Rover's celebrated Defender arrived in 1990 as an evolution of the 90/110 released in 1983. Shaped like the box it came in, it remained an unapologetically basic off-roader built for extremely demanding terrain. England's favorite workhorse remained in production with minor but regular updates until regulations killed it off in 2016.
- Power comes from a 300Tdi 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-4, rated at 111 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
