The Appeal

Fighting fires is a serious business, so the Fire Service requires vehicles they can rely on. Enter the Land Rover Defender - a car you can trust in times of need. This 2003 110 Double-cab Pickup was reportedly ordered from Land Rover Special Vehicles. The vendor describes it as one of very few such vehicles still in existence.

With just two former registered keepers and 72,687 miles recorded, this Defender appears to have led a well-cared-for life. The vendor says it presents in very good condition, having never been used off-road. It has been fitted with Raptor 4x4 front seats, a Raptor winch bumper, a Tyrex steering wheel, and four new tyres, while retaining the original radio.
For those seeking a storied Defender in very good overall condition, this versatile 110 has everything going for it.
