After a run of more than 60 years, the Land Rover Defender finished production on January 29th, 2016, marking the end (possibly) of a true British motoring legend that will be remembered forever, mainly because most of them will still be running!

The Defender always sat happily alongside the Range Rover and the Discovery in Land Rover's model line-up, eschewing those cars luxury trimmings for no-nonsense straight-edged styling and a utilitarian interior. For what it lacks in refinement and on-road enjoyment, there's absolutely nothing that can touch the Land Rover Defender off-road. It has an incredibly solid chassis, high ground clearance, amazing axle articulation, and four-wheel drive with low range gearing, and can effectively cope with almost anything the elements throw at it.

Up until now, the elements have not troubled this 2010 Land Rover Defender 90 Hard Top presented here; it has most recently been owned and used on a country estate, doing light work and ferrying guests to the local hostelry! Minimally adapted for such use with seats in the back, the rear sees a useful seating arrangement. Highly specified with air conditioning, electric windows chequer plate, upgraded lights and grilles and with sidesteps to complete the picture. Just serviced, garaged and looked after, this Defender wears its 54,000 miles lightly. Attractively finished in Santorini Black Metallic, this venerable ‘vehicle for all occasions’ has a lot to offer in the same way a faithful black Labrador might, and with the same charm and character.
