It’s really not an exaggeration to say that the Land Rover has done almost as much as Captain Cook or David Livingstone to open up the world.

It’s been taking explorers with double-barreled names and extravagant moustaches to far-flung places since 1948.

It’s delivered engineers to where they were wanted and missionaries to where they weren’t.

At one time it was said that a Land Rover was the first motor vehicle seen by 60% of people living in developing nations.

With its permanent four-wheel-drive system, lockable centre differential, live axles at both ends, and long-travel coil suspension, early Defenders were famously as capable off the beaten track as they were incapable on it.

They got better and (relatively) more luxurious as the years went by and were ultimately available in pretty much every bodywork style and seating variation iteration you could think of.

The common denominator for all of them, no matter how posh, pampered or pimped, is that you can rely upon one to get you from Timbuktu to Ouagadougou quicker and more comfortably than an angry camel.

Overview

This particular Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cabin is almost certainly the best example of the model we’ve yet seen.

Being sold by a dealer in Wexford, Ireland, the car was owned by a friend of his for several years and was kept in storage (under SORN) in Northern Ireland.

Prior to that it had been living happily in Northumberland, as evidenced by print-outs of its on-line Land Rover main dealer service history.

The odometer today reads 51,755 miles.

On the occasion of its 2017 MoT, it had covered 29,407 miles, so it’s clearly been used pretty sparingly.

It is in simply exceptional condition, inside and out, and comes with a very impressive specification list of extras.

These include, but are not limited to, the following.

  • Hawk Eye Automotive upgrades
  • LED ights
  • Front and rear Urban 6-Piece Grill
  • Urban front bumper
  • Urban side steps
  • Urban 18in alloys
  • New all-terrain tyres
  • Gloss black grille, headlamp surrounds, roof, mirrors and alloys
  • Smoked indicators
  • Black checker plates

It’s really very smart indeed and the vendor tells us that everything works as intended and that it starts, goes and stops perfectly.

Exterior

The bodywork is free of any dents, bumps or creases that we can see and the original ‘Connaught Green’ paintwork has retained plenty of shine and lustre pretty much everywhere you look.

Even standard amounts of road rash and stone chips are more notable for their absence than their presence.

The gloss black alloy wheels seem to be in excellent all-round condition and the tyres (4 BF Goodrich tyres on the car and a Cooper spare in the back) have plenty of life left in them.

The panel gaps and shut lines are consistent and even.

The exterior trim, badging and other fixtures and fittings are all beyond reproach and are far more a reflection of the car’s low mileage and careful curation than its age.

Interior

The car’s stunning condition continues on the inside where, frankly, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it had only recently left a Land Rover showroom.

The door cards are untroubled by time or use.

So, too, are the two rows of seats.

The dark grey fabric upholstery appears to be more or less pristine.

The carpets and mats are equally irreproachable, as is the headlining.

Apart from a couple of light scratches on the storage box between the seats and one or two elsewhere on the dashboard, there’s really nothing to suggest that the car has covered 50,000 miles.

The steering wheel, gear levers and instrument cluster look to be in fine fettle and the vendor assures us that every toggle, switch, lever and knob does what it’s supposed to do.

The open luggage bay behind the cabin is equally impressive and clearly hasn’t been used to transport anything abrasive or dirty in recent times, if ever.

Mechanical

As far as we can tell, the undersides of the car have a good deal of structural integrity and reflect the car’s exceptional overall condition.

Everything in the engine bay is in its right and proper place and appears to be clean and dry.

History

The car comes with a clear HPI check, keys, a V5, a pack of manuals and handbooks, and printouts of its main dealer online service history up to the time it went into storage.

Summary

This immensely capable car is also extremely versatile, thanks to its double cabin layout.

And it looks fabulous.

Whether you want to cruise around the city looking impressive with your mates, or cross the Mongolian plateau in winter, this could well be all the car you’ll ever need.
