The now iconic Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 Defender vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel-drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Manufactured in 2003, the Land Rover offered was supplied new via Lloyd Motors Land Rover, being registered new to the 15th of August. Fitted with the 2.5-litre TD5 engine, the Defender is finished in Dark Blue with Black vinyl interior upholstery and is in 90 configuration with a Pickup rear body. Entering into current registered ownership in 2021, the Defender has just three former keepers. Benefitting from a new engine, fitted by the supplying dealer, Lloyd Motors Land Rover, in 2006 at just 16,811 miles. Having now covered just 63,600 miles from new (equating to only 46,800 miles on the new engine), the Defender was upgraded with Britpart air intake and two-inch lift kit in 2018 by Land Rover specialists, GW Motors of Atherstone.
Benefitting from some £2,500 worth of improvements in 2020, the Defender received new injectors and harness by Fultons Land Rovers, with Simon Huntington Land Rover providing a new fuel pressure regulator and steering drop arm. ‘PY03 KVZ’ boasts eight service records, across the accompanying service book and invoices, with many completed by main dealers. The history file further comprises the original book pack in the Land Rover wallet (with handbook and aforementioned stamped service book), a collection of previous invoices, several MOT certificates and a current V5C document.
