In 2016, it was rebuilt onto a new Richards Galvanised Chassis, supplied by Ribble Valley 4x4. At the same time the gearbox and transfer box was rebuilt, and a new clutch fitted. It’s likely that most of the upgrades were fitted at the time, and it’s covered around 6000 miles since

Odometer reading 129000 miles

In 2025, it’s been serviced with all underside fluids changed, new front brake discs and calipers April 2025 and new cambelt Jan 2025

Comes with MOT to November 2025 (no advisories) and 6 months warranty on sale.

Being a factory 200TDi version, it nips along nicely with good punch from the Turbodiesel motor.

On test on arrival it performed without apparent fault – it’s refreshing to find a 200TDi that doesn’t feel it’s age on the road.

All in all, it’s a very practical smart, traditional Defender with none of the bells and whistles or bling of later models, but with totally simple mechanics and no electronics to go wrong. And with the spec it’s got, it’s ideal to be used offroad, as they were originally designed for.
