- Low mileage, two-owner provenance, full Land Rover service history
- Final evolution of a platform that remained fundamentally unchanged for decades
- Desireable XS specification
Few vehicles carry the cultural and mechanical gravitas of the Land Rover Defender, and examples from the final years of production have become some of the most sought-after modern classics in the 4x4 world. This 2015 Land Rover Defender 90 XS represents one of the most desirable specifications of the iconic off-roader, combining the legendary durability of the Defender platform with the improved comfort and equipment of the later XS models. Finished in Corris Grey over a black leather, with the seats fitted with bespoke diamond-stitched canvas covers, this example is a well-specified configuration that perfectly suits the Defender’s reknowned rugged character. Showing just 43,000 miles from new and having just two former keepers, the vehicle benefits from a full Land Rover service history, demonstrating careful maintenance throughout its life. Under the bonnet sits Land Rover’s proven 2.2-litre TDCi turbo diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive. The combination delivers the torque and mechanical simplicity that have made Defenders the benchmark for durability in remote environments around the world. This particular Defender also features a number of desirable upgrades and accessories that enhance both its usability and visual presence. The exterior benefits from underbody protection, LED spotlights front and rear, upgraded grille, larger mirrors, aluminium side steps, and stainless steel hinges, while a rear ladder and spare wheel carrier reinforce the Defender’s expedition-ready character. A reversing camera and Dixon-Bate tow hitch further add to its practicality. Inside, the cabin offers a welcome blend of ruggedness and comfort, with heated seats, air conditioning, privacy glass, heated front and rear windows, additional soundproofing, and an Alpine head unit with subwoofer. A removable Astrali wood-trimmed steering wheel with Optimill lockable boss adds a distinctive touch. One particularly charming detail is the Kimi Räikkönen quote “Leave me alone, I know what I’m doing” applied in red lettering across the rear, a playful nod that feels perfectly in keeping with the Defender’s irreverent spirit. Accompanying the vehicle are two ignition keys, an alarm fob, keys for the gun storage cabinet, the owner’s documents, spare parts, a V5, and a digital service history printout. With its low mileage, careful ownership, and strong specification, this Defender 90 represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-maintained example of one of the most iconic 4x4s ever built.
