THIS DEFENDER HAS BEEN SOLD AT AUCTION.
 
This 1996 Land Rover Defender 130 is a left-hand-drive four-door pickup that was produced at the Solihull plant for export to Brazil, where it is said to have undergone a refurbishment that included a repaint in blue with gloss black accents. The truck was acquired by the selling dealer and imported to the US in May 2021. Subsequent work included replacement of the wheels, tires, suspension, stereo, seats, and Terracotta and black leather upholstery. Power is provided by a 2.5-liter 300Tdi turbodiesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional equipment includes 18″ alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks and steering damper, a snorkel, a tonneau cover, and a Pioneer head unit. This Defender 130 is now offered with a clean Carfax report and a clean Georgia title.
 
The truck is refinished in Marine Blue with black fender flares and front grille prior to the seller’s acquisition. Equipment includes checker-plate trim across the hood, front fenders, and rocker panels as well as a skid plate, a snorkel, LED lights, a tonneau cover, side steps, and mud flaps.
 
Black 18″ Sawtooth-style alloy wheels wear 305/65 BFGoodrich All-Terrain K02 tires, and a spare resides in the bed of the truck. Bilstein shocks have been installed along with a Bilstein steering damper.
 
The cabin was refreshed with two-tone Terracotta and black upholstery with a matching center console, door panels, and dashboard trim. Equipment includes air conditioning, rubber floor mats, billet transmission and transfer case shifter knobs, an in-dash storage cubby, a USB port, and a Pioneer stereo.
 
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-km/h speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 254k kilometers (~159k miles), 200 of which were added by the selling dealer. Additional gauges are mounted atop the center of the dashboard.
 
The 2.5-liter 300Tdi turbodiesel inline-four produced 111 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
