2013 Defender 110 Hard Top

We genuinely did buy it to build a camper and go exploring. Life simply changed direction before the tools came out, so the next owner gets the blank canvas rather than somebody else's half-finished conversion.

It runs and drives well. I drove it around 200 miles home after buying it without any problems.

It has a substantial itemised maintenance history covering much of its life, with regular servicing and considerable mechanical work over the years.

It is not a polished, low-mileage collector's Defender - and it would never pretend to be. It is a usable, characterful 110 that could make a cracking work vehicle, weekend truck or camper-conversion base.

The reconstructed 11-page workshop history records routine servicing and a considerable amount of mechanical investment, including work in these areas:

Important: this is a summary of the visible itemised history, not proof of a complete service history. It does not guarantee the present condition of every listed component. Previous customer and vehicle identity numbers have been masked in the public PDF.

This Defender has tried a few outfits: it started life white, was subsequently painted orange, and was painted black before my ownership. The black finish looks presentable, but it is not a concours-quality paint job and there are age-related marks and imperfections.

The underside is honest rather than freshly covered in underseal. There is general surface corrosion consistent with its age and use. A previous MOT recorded chassis corrosion without a significant reduction in structural rigidity, along with a non-excessive oil leak. It passed its latest MOT.

I also have new front-door hinges and new seals for the front and rear doors. I intend to fit these before collection; if timing does not allow, all the new parts will be supplied with the vehicle.
