2012 Land Rover Defender 90 Hard Top

Only a canny Cambridgeshire farmer would decide to have a spare new Defender in the barn to replace his aging example come the day.

Whilst visiting his local Land Rover dealer, Marshalls of Cambridge, in 2012, he was informed that the Defender 90 was in its 'run-out', so purchased one there and then. He drove it home where it was beautifully stored unused to this day as he clocked up some 158,000 miles in his old Defender which just kept on going, as they do. There came a time, when it seemed appropriate to use the new one, however at that point it would no longer be new, so there it stayed.

Unfortunately our farmer died recently and, at some point in the past, he had offered the Land Rover to a friend should anything happen to him. Upon his passing, his friend went to the barn and took a Land Rover as they were fully entitled to do and, given the choice, anyone would have taken the brand new one, however it was the old one that the executors had in mind. When they discovered it was gone, they informed the National Farmers Union who informed the DVLA who issued a 'stolen' marker which shows on the CAP HPI. Once the confusion has been cleared up, all was amicably agreed and so we find this incredible, delivery-miles Defender 90 seeking its new rightful owner, agricultural or otherwise.

Finished in Paris Blue with a Limestone roof and wheels, the 90 remains in the sort of condition that you might expect from an 11-year-old 'new' car. It's accompanied by its dealer book pack, but there is no history or MOTs as it hasn't been anywhere and the only service was a PDI.

We welcome and encourage you to come and have a look.
