Brightwells
have sold many of these military Land Rovers over the last few years, having
held the Ministry
of Defence Government Disposals Contract for some time
now.
This Defender Wolf was bought direct from the MoD via the last
holders of the contract in approximately 2015 and appears to have had the engine
're-manufactured' in 2011. It has been part of a large collection and has done
very little since, the owners having only tested the vehicle to ensure it runs
and drives and thus has not seen any additional use after it’s time with the
Marines.
Although one can not guarantee
the distance covered by these military Landrovers, the incredibly low KM showing
on the speedo certainly seems consistent with the very clean and tidy chassis
underneath, the unworn pedals and the pristine diesel filler cap/filter. Some of
the more perishable aspects of the vehicle have suffered a little though,
possibly due to being based with the Marines down south, but if you are familiar
with these vehicles, you will know that they are pretty easy cars to work on and
most parts are readily available.
These winterised and waterproofed machines always look like a lot
of fun and our vendor has already paid the VAT on this one so it is looking good
value. It includes the official declassification document from the MoD which
will need presenting to the DVLA if registering it in the
UK.
