Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
The most capable and most cost-effective off-roader that sensible money can buy.
Visually the design of the Land Rover had remained virtually intact over its illustrious 67 years of production, but it would be unfair to compare the post-2012 Defenders with the originals. True, they share the same silhouette and those simple, flat, easy to repair panels and the tough steel box-section ladder-frame chassis, but the last incarnations of the design classic were plusher, quicker and far easier to live with. Powered by the Euro 5-compatible Ford-sourced Duratorq 2.2-litre 122hp diesel engine, the new engine complimented the ventilated disc brakes, the option of more comfortable seats and upgraded stereo equipment, extra sound insulation and a smarter, slightly more car-like interior.
Nothing gets quite as close as the Land Rover as an icon for off-road shenanigans, yet so many solid examples have been spared the rough stuff as values head upwards. Bought six years ago as a leisure and business vehicle, this 110 in USW (Utility Station Wagon) spec example of the evergreen classic has seen a few tasteful modifications to improve its functionality. The bespoke custom-made roof rack was constructed to accommodate the transportation of Kayaks, with rear and front-mounted auxiliary LED lights to aid vision. The car has also had a reversing camera and Bluetooth connectivity fitted. Clean and solid throughout, just ~52,500 miles recorded, it has led a charmed life and is looking for its next adventure.

Thanks, apologies for being twitchy but any accident repairs are concerning. It’s the huge bill for a bonnet and grill that I couldn’t get my head around. Nearly £8k seemed like total front end.
Thanks for your assurances.
The Landrover has never been a cat s or n it was safe to drive. As stated before it previously the vehicle has never been written off.
Hi, as per the write-up, the car is HPi clear, no record of insurance write-off. Best, Kulraj – Trade Classics
Hi,
The auction house states there has been an HPI check but can’t see the report. Someone has asked already if it’s logged as a cat S or N etc, do we know the answer? Many thanks
Unsure what cost was all dealt with by the insurance. Damage to the bonnet and grill only and scratches. Absolutely no damage to any chassis parts. All put back perfect.
Have found all the paperwork the work carried out by a Landrover expert. The full amount was £7,733.11
Paid by insurance company not mine one.
Thanks for your reply, was this for accident damage? have you a list of the parts replaced as it seems a lot for a grill and bonnet with over 3k on parts. Does it show on the HPI register as a cat??? vehicle, cheers
So the Landrover was not moving another vehicle reversed at low speed into it.
The Landrover has never been written off by insurance company and own outright by me. There has never been any finance on vehicle.
I do not have a list of parts they would of used to repair. What I can say the repairs done at time were first class. I have not had a single issue following the work which as you can see was carried out some time ago. The overall body work is amazing as you can also see.
Ok great thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated, cheers
Hi, could you tell me bodywork was done back in 2019 to have cost 7k please and was it an insurance claim or unrecorded and just paid for out of your pocket. Have you got any pictures of the damage also please, cheers
