Our team at Car Cave used this Defender as a daily driver and racked up about a thousand test miles.Originally purchased by a H. Verderawe in May of 1998 at Auto-Center Verderame located at Dr Karl Lenz Str 29, Memmingen, Deutschland 87770. Auto-Center Verderame sold MG, Rover, and Land Rover vehicles. The Defender spent the majority of its life in the Alpine region of Europe, traveling between Salzburg, Austria and Wasserburg am Inn-Staudham, Germany. The paperwork on this vehicle includes the original technical inspection details, including the mileage from service intervals.By 2017, this vehicle was bought by a Monsieur Jean-Francois and registered in the Haute-Loire region of France. With the Loire river running through its heart and the Massif Central surrounding mountains, this vehicle was at home in the Alpine climate. In 2021, the Defender was completely stripped and the chassis was refurbished and the body given a full teardown respray. The respray was completed in the iconic and original Epsom Green Metallic, though marks on its exterior suggest that it has been used for camping and exploring the wild outdoors.Car Cave has an extensive photo catalog of the work completed. Contact us to review the history file, pictures of the refurbishment, and our in house service records.Upgrades and Features:300 TDI Turbo Diesel Engine5 Speed R380 Manual Transmission16x7 Land Rover OEM 5-Spoke Wheels265/75R16 Yoyo Open Country M/T TiresWinch BumperFront Differential GuardBlack Wingtop Chequere PlatesDjebel Extreme Storkel5 Seater (we can add more in the cargo area)Coin TrayCenter Cubby BoxStep BarsSunroofPhillips CE235BT Bluetooth RadioTerrafirma Lift ShocksOur own Car Cave team has had a hand in increasing the health of this vehicle.
