Background
The Land Rover Defender needs no introduction. After replacing the Series III, it’s been a sure sight on roads all over the globe since the 80s, with more than 2 million leaving the production line in a variety of specifications until brief removal from market in 2016.
It’s simple design and universal appeal means that any variation of the Defender has always been possible. Fit for a variety of emergency services, agricultural workers all the way to a sub-urban family of 5, there’s always been a Land Rover Defender for everyone. The easy to work on nature and largely un-changed proportions means that the potential to own your own bespoke Land Rover has always been a possibility. This 2012 Rich Brit model built by Brittle motors is exactly that.
The History
Whilst it’s unknown exactly when in its life this Defender was sent to Brittle, it features a variety of alterations from the stock offering.
Land Rover Defenders weren’t exactly known for their plush cabins, and this ‘Rich Brit’ model improves on Land Rovers so-so offering, with Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel as well as new carpets throughout the car. Perfect for transporting goods, towing requirements or out on a camping trip.
The current owner purchased this vehicle a few months ago however has decided that he doesn’t have enough time to warrant ownership and is consequently offering it to be enjoyed by a new owner.
The paperwork
Unfortunately, documentation hasn’t been retained for this vehicle and therefore the number of previous owners are currently unknown. The original manual remains with the car and its MOT history can be seen online.
The exterior
Separating itself from bland colours that patrol the roads, this Bronze Defender has no blemishes visible. As a modern vehicle the paintwork is still vivid with black Union Flags visible on both drivers and passenger doors as well as the bonnet. The main headlights and rear lights are in-tact and alloys are in superb condition.
There’s also a bespoke exhaust system that now exits through the bodywork adding a unique feature to this Defender 90.
A large additional light has been fitted to the top of the vehicle during its time with Brittle, however this hasn’t worked since its last MOT and will require attention.
The interior
Benefiting from a bespoke undertaking, this Defender now features a pair of stunning Recaro seats that have no tears and are almost like-new. Updated Belgrave dials and Momo steering wheel also offer something a little more unique when in the driver’s seat.
The mechanics
The engine is un-changed with the usual 2.2 Diesel engine starting on the button with no knocks or rattles as well as Land-Rovers legendary 4WD system which has no issues. The underside of the car is in good condition which is no surprise for a vehicle with only a little over 22,000 miles on the clock.
The appeal
Whether you’re taking a trip to the shops or in need of a vehicle with serious towing capacity, then this Rich Brit is the perfect unorthodox answer. With just over 22,000 miles and a clean ticket on its last MOT, this Rich Brit is ready to go.
