Overview

As British icons go, the Land Rover Defender is up there with red pillar boxes, roast beef dinners, fish & chips, cups of tea, Bank Holiday traffic jams and moaning about the weather, which we’re seeing a lot of at the moment just from the Pistonheads auction photographers.

 Everybody knows what a Defender is and even if they’ve never owned one, they’ve always wanted one. Admit it, you have, haven’t you? And if not, why not?

 After all, there are few vehicles that are as fit for purpose. Brilliantly simple and designed for the job in hand, the Defender is flawed in so many ways, yet perfect in so many others. 

 If you played with Tonka toys when you were a kid, then now is the time to do it again – but this time in real-time with a full-size Tonka toy of your own – and what better way of doing it than with this distinctive 110 Station Wagon, which the vendor has owned from new. 

 A 2014 model, it’s one of the last of the breed and is as refined and advanced as the Defender got, which means it has the Ford-developed 2.2-litre Puma engine under the bonnet, a six-speed manual gearbox and a seven-seat interior layout. It’s a fabulous thing, ready for you to enjoy. 

 And enjoy it you will. It’s impossible not to. Sure, the Defender may be crude, bouncy and have a turning circle to rival that of the Queen Mary, but you know that already. You want it. That’s why you’re still reading.

 Buy this one and you’ll get a Defender in the most sought-after layout – everyone wants a 110. The distinctive black-and-red colour scheme has been there since new, the original owner (and vendor) specifying the truck to their own brief. 

 It comes with a fully known history and lots of old service receipts, plus a chunky set of Kumho mud terrain tyres to add an even beefier look.
