About this car

This is a 1998 Land Rover Defender in 50th Anniversary V8 form, a special edition made to mark half a century of the marque. The V8 petrol engine gives the Defender far more pace and character than the usual diesels of the period, and the model has become increasingly sought after by collectors.

The car has covered 44,000 miles, a low figure for a working-pedigree vehicle of this age. It is numbered 135 in the dealer's listing. The page gives few other specification details, so colour, ownership history and gearbox should be confirmed with the dealer.

Land Rover Defender buying guide

The current Land Rover Defender, launched in 2020, swapped the old ladder-frame Defender for an aluminium monocoque with fully independent suspension, while keeping serious off-road ability. It is far more comfortable and refined on the road than its predecessor, and people buy it as a practical family car with real off-road credentials, a towing vehicle, or, with the V8 versions, a fast and distinctive SUV.
