‘P952 HAO’ has been in the ownership of the current vendor since May 2022, with him becoming this 90-inch’s sixth keeper at that stage. Hailing from 1997, this defender is fitted with the 2.5-litre 300Tdi engine which was an all-new unit first used in 1994. In current ownership, ‘P952 HAO’ has been serviced by the owner and much time and money has been expended maintaining the condition and usability of this Defender. ‘P952 HAO’ is offered here with a long MOT with validity until March 2026, two keys and a brand new spare tyre. Here is your chance to acquire an example of the perennially popular Defender in optimally practical van sided configuration.
‘P952 HAO’ presents in non-standard Kiwi Green which represents an eye-catching update from its original blue livery. There are numerous black accents in evidence, including the roof panel and front bumper, and the Land Rover presents in a de-badged condition. A capacious, black painted alloy, safari style roof rack is fitted together with a rear access ladder. Access aiding side steps are also fitted. The cabin is usual Defender fare, which means charming utility and admiral practicality. This is finished in black and green predominantly. The vendor rates the bodywork and interior as “good,” and the paintwork as “average.”
‘P952 HAO’ is fitted with well-respected 2.5-litre 300TDi turbo-diesel engine which was originally rated at around 111bhp. This is mated to the five speed manual transmission transferring power to the permanent four wheel drive system. All the usual off road paraphernalia is present including locking diffs and high / low transfer box. ‘P952 HAO’ benefits from the fitment of a galvanised chassis, a new clutch, radiator, exhaust, fuel pump and brake servo. All mechanical systems are vendor rated as “good.”
In summary:
- A good looking Defender 90 in an interesting livery
- A low owner example of this iconic off-roader with a galvanised chassis
- Compete with many new components and a long MOT
