2010 LAND ROVER DEFENDER

The 2010 Land Rover Defender 90 Hard Top TD is one of those vehicles whose appeal lies as much in its character as its capability. Finished in a handsome green colour combination and complemented by a professionally converted leather interior, this particular example combines the purposeful nature of the Defender Hard Top with a number of well-judged upgrades.

Powered by the 2.4-litre diesel engine and paired with a manual gearbox, this two-seat Defender belongs to the generation substantially updated by Land Rover in 2007, when the model gained a revised fascia and six-speed manual transmission. The 2.4-litre diesel remained part of the Defender range until its replacement by the 2.2-litre engine for the 2012 model year.

Inside, the professionally converted leather trim gives the cabin a notably more inviting character. The front seats have been upgraded to leather sports seats, while the low-line cubby box and uprated stereo add further comfort and usability.

Externally, the Defender benefits from uprated headlights, specialised entry side steps and a front-facing light bar for additional visibility. Heated rear glass and a rear wash wipe add useful practicality.

Importantly, the vehicle is supported by excellent service history and will be supplied with a fresh service and fresh MOT carried out by Hofmanns of Henley.

For somebody looking for a Defender 90 that retains the traditional character of the model while offering a number of sympathetic modern touches, this is a particularly appealing example.
