Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Rare NAS (North American Specification) Defender 110. Showing 142,917 miles but consistently maintained and never neglected or abused. Decent paint overall with few noticeable blemishes. There is rust staining at the welds of the roll bars. The engine compartment is old and dirty, needing detailing, as does the chassis. The interior presents very well and shows little wear on the durable Land Rover finish. An above average Defender given the mileage, and one that could be used for what it was designed for without guilt.
Market commentary
The reported high bid was short of but close to the presale low estimate and with commission it would have made for an appropriate price given the age and mileage. It should have sold.
