Description

Fabulous low owner, low mileage TD5 Defender 90, County spec station wagon, with galvanised chassis

59,870 miles, recent full service, new rear brakes

1st owner Lombard Leasing, 28/02/2001 to 04/06/2005

2nd owner from 04/06/2005 until 01/11/2025 (i.e. 20 years)

3rd owner 01/11/2025 to present

Excellent original condition and spec, not a "blinged" Defender. Highlights-

Galvanised chassis installed in 2020, undersealed since then to retain condition

Resprayed in 2021 with various new parts fitted including new front door, stainless steel bolt upgrades etc

Full service and thorough inspection by Green Oval LR specialists at 59,545 miles, including oil & filter, air cleaner element, fuel filter, front diff oil (rear diff & transfer box oils checked, clean and full), rear steering rod ball joint boots replaced. Green Oval is a respected L/R independent garage, but they are more like an independent main dealer than an old fashioned specialist. I was looking for a complete "warts and all" view so that I could address any issues.

Rear brake discs, calipers & pads and rear axle A frame ball joint replaced by Jake Wright Land Rover at 59,571 miles. Jake Wright is a very well respected "pure Defender" specialist, they know Defenders inside out.

Full 4 wheel alignment check & adjustment by Track Torque Racing at 59,663 miles to correct slightly off centre steering.

It drives perfectly. I now have no “to do list” for the car – the next service will just be a minor one for an oil change, needed as and when time or further miles dictate.

Its great condition reflects the extensive work done by the previous owner, careful use over its life, and low mileage. It isn’t concours, there is evidence of its age here and there, but if it was concours I would be asking more. Please look at the photos which give a good idea of what it's like. Having researched the market relatively recently when I was looking to buy this one, I can say with confidence that this is a very very good one.

I’m selling it because it (my first Defender) got me hooked on them, so I will be looking to acquire a long wheelbase version to replace this, which will become my main car, also replacing my trusty E Class estate.

I’m based near Wetherby, between Leeds and York, near the A1M motorway. Please contact me if you’d like any more information or to come and view it.
