1995 Land Rover Defender 110, 300 TDi, 2500cc. Registration number M305 FWR. Chassis number SALLDHAF7MA956337. Engine number 16L14628A.
Throughout its long life from the initial Series 1 of 1948 to the last Defender in 2016 the vehicle was in continuous development and was able to undertake many varied roles, from farmers hacks, to expedition vehicle to civilian life and the military forces and much loved by most. The Defender first entered UK military service in 1985, in both long and short wheelbase forms. Early vehicles were all powered by the '12J' 2.5 non-turbo diesel engine, and available as either General Service (GS) or Fitted For Radio (FFR) versions. Over the following ten years very large numbers of these basic variants were purchased by the MoD.
This example was used at RAF Marham and sold by Witham Ltd on behalf of HQ Air Command in November 2011. It entered service on the 26th October 1995, its service number was 34 AY 09 and had 86,505 miles on the clock when released from duty. In May 2012 DVLA allocated the current registration number and purchased by our vendor, a Land Rover enthusiast. He has upgraded the vehicle in his eight years of ownership, replacing the rear crossmember and footwell, a new cambelt was fitted at 115,600 miles, it has also had a new propshaft, chequerplate in 2018, recent tyres and a battery.
Sold with the V5C, current MOT until November 2020, RAF paperwork and sundry receipts.
