⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The 2.8i Defender combines rugged power with smooth performance, ready to tackle any terrain while turning heads wherever it goes.

The Land Rover Defender 90 M52-2.8i is a rare and distinctive take on one of Britain’s most iconic off-road vehicles. Produced in very limited numbers for select markets, this particular model is powered by the revered 2.8L BMW M52 straight-six engine – a smooth, torquey unit more commonly found in performance saloons. The result is a Defender that not only retains its legendary off-road prowess but also offers a level of refinement and on-road performance not typically associated with the breed.

Finished in a rugged, classic Defender aesthetic, the 2.8i edition combines heritage styling with mechanical upgrades that make it an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether tackling challenging terrain or cruising comfortably on the road, this model strikes a unique balance between utility and driving pleasure. A true rarity, it’s a standout example of how the Defender's timeless design can be enhanced without losing its tough, go-anywhere spirit.

This particular example has had a lot of time and money spent on it by MadeYouLook - a specialist and well known M52 2.8i restoration house in S.A - this build was titled by themselves as MYL 007. It really is in stand out condition - looking over the Defender leaves little concern with the finish or the quality on whats on offer here.

Those in the market for something very special or a 4x4 that is unlike many others out there, look no further than this 2.8i Defender
