It was inevitable that advances in electronics pioneered in mainstream passenger cars would eventually trickle down to the utilitarian Land Rover, which by the new millennium had gained anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Electronic Traction Control (ETC), all of which were aimed at improving traction to keep up with its increasingly capable rivals. Steel doors, enabling the use of electric window lifts and central locking for the first time, were new for the 2002 model year.
Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisable related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base; indeed, in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The kinds of incremental improvements mentioned above would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016. Various special editions were made throughout the Defenders production run, and the XTech examples (like the car offered here) came with better trim levels and spec compared to the standard car.
Currently displaying a total of circa 6,000 miles from new, this exceptional one-owner Defender 90 XTech was supplied new by Taunton Land Rover and registered on 31st March 2011. The vehicle is powered by the 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine producing 120bhp, which is coupled to a six-speed manual transmission and permanent four-wheel drive. Finished in Zermatt Silver, this XTech special edition features Santorini Black wheelarches, headlight surrounds, and roof. Other notable features include and an aggressive-looking three-bar grille; 16" Sawtooth alloy wheels in black; Goodyear Wrangler MTR tyres; anodised black bumpers; chequer-plate metal sill trims; and a useful rear tow-bar.
The well-appointed interior boasts half-leather heated seats, air conditioning, electric windows, and a heated screen. Presented in a condition commensurate with its limited use and careful ownership, the Defender is offered with a small history file and a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted that the registration mark 'X2 SVX' is available via separate negotiation post-sale.
