Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top SE

The Defender 110 Hard Top SE occupies a genuinely useful niche: a VAT-qualifying commercial vehicle with a professional rear seat conversion that gives it full passenger practicality without forfeiting its tax-efficient commercial status. It's a configuration that suits businesses and private buyers alike, particularly those who want a capable, well-specced Defender without paying VAT on the purchase price.

This example presents well in Santorini Black on 22-inch Gloss Black wheels with privacy glass — a purposeful, unfussy combination that suits the Defender's character. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder mild hybrid diesel delivers 246 bhp and 421 ft-lb of torque through an eight-speed automatic, with Terrain Response and Water Wading Aid on hand when conditions demand more than motorway cruising. With 29,905 miles from a 2023 registration and two previous owners, it's a relatively lightly used example.

The specification is thorough: Ebony Taurus leather, a Head Up Display, Meridian sound system, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, heated front windscreen, 360-degree parking cameras, and blind spot monitoring make up a cabin that's genuinely comfortable for daily use. The 22-inch full-size spare wheel and rear seat conversion are noteworthy additions — practical rather than cosmetic, and both relevant to how this car is likely to be used.
