Long before the Defender was a twinkle in the eye of the Land Rover branding department, the County Estate version of the Land Rover, offered some ‘luxury’ and practical people-carrying ability to the range, a recreational vehicle that could play as well as work. First produced in 1983 and available in 90 or 110 iterations, the County continued when the Land Rover had to adopt a name, Defender, in 1990, following the launch of Discovery. The 4C D Turbo was an 85hp 2.5-litre turbodiesel (not to be confused with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder Tdi engines that followed it), offering, arguably the best combination of performance (0-60 about 20 seconds, capable of keeping up with motorway traffic) and economy (20-25mpg) that was available at the time.

Presenting well for its age, this Defender 90 has had just 1 former longterm owner from new up to the 6th February 2022! It’s understood the Newmarket stud where it was located and used as a ‘working vehicle’ serviced and maintained the Land Rover accordingly. ‘L131 MHJ’ is offered with a V5C, the original manual and handbook pack, some paperwork and invoices for more recent work in the vendor’s possession, a Defender specialist company, who recently gave it a full service.
