This is my 2007 defender td5 on an 07 plate. Ive not had it long, I always wanted to own a defender and a late td5 was the only way to go. So the search began and after about 4 months this came up. One owner from new 21k miles in immaculate condition and completely standard. I didn't hesitate and snapped it up. Since buying her I've carried out a few small modifications just to improve the way the truck looks and drives. I've had a dynachip remap and de catted the exhaust, fitted a k&n filter and removed the egr. I swapped the tyres for some cooper discoverer stt's and fitted some wheel spacers. It drives better than any td5 I've ever been in. I firmly believe that this is one of the best and last td5's in

It's better in the flesh. I won't be keeping her long as the desire for a range rover sport is calling me. But I'm very lucky to have found this one. The bloke I bought it off was an elderly fellow. And I was told he'd never taken it off road. Never towed with it and not taken it over 50mph. Even at 23000 miles it still feels very much new

You would prefer a range rover sport over a defender! Your crazy

265/75 I think? They were a bit sketchy for the first 7-800 miles. But they're great now. And very capable on a bit of loose stuff

Snap! Except mine's a CSW. And my search took about a year. But otherwise, very similar. Mine will never be sold, unless something very, very bad happens! Great looking 90.

I don't see a price, but maybe I'm blind!
