2011 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 ST Santorini Black

SOLD 50th Anniversary Japanese spec

Click image to enlarge
I personally imported this 50th from Japan a couple of years ago and have been sympathetically bringing back to a good standard. I have spent a lot of effort and ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ to get her to where she is now and this is reflected in the price.
Die hard 50th fans may not appreciate the imports but they are impeccably corrosion free and unmolested.
A reconditioned 4.0 engine was one of the first tasks as she was pressurizing and boiling up. I went for a standard tune engine with the top hat cast liners to give worry free motoring coupled to a new stainless exhaust the sound is beautiful.
All new BFG all terrains in the correct 265 size. New mud flaps, all door seals replaced, period radio/cassette, period genuine rallye 1000 lamps fitted to the factory a bar. Interior is absolutely mint with no ugly additions. Finished in timeless Chawton white with no corrosion and when all glass rubbers were replaced it was just like new. Showing 125000 km's 78000 miles. Full 50th book pack (albeit in japanese) two sets of original keys with Thatcham alarm with certificate. There will be plenty I have forgotten to list but she really is superb. Reg plate stays with the car.
ï¿½24995 with reasonable offers considered.
Thanks for looking

I'm not a purist but that looks gorgeous, so good luck with the sale, though maybe a few more pics including the interior might help. I had a grey import Impreza a long while back that was lovely and a mate had a Disco 1 that was like new, so can appreciate what you have there. Rob

Mrs Greeni and I went to see this yesterday. Jeremy and his wife are genuinely lovely people and Kate and I are grateful for your warm welcome.
I have never seen any Defender as nice as this, the pictures do not do it justice. I was utterly speechless.
It's not seen any UK rain, let alone wet roads, it's just amazing
£25k is not a small amount of money, but this will only appreciate if it's not ruined with bolt on junk.

Bowlers, Kahn, Twisted and tUrban trucks don't have a patch on this factory unspoilt special.
It's like a UK 50th, but in the right colour, without the chequer plate, it's a win/win !

I absolutely would love to own it, but I'd just simply ruin it. It doesn't deserve that!
