This rare and rugged Defender 130 Hi-Cap pickup blends legendary off-road capability with refined upgrades and practical utility. Finished in classic Aintree Green with matching steel wheels, this is the largest Defender model, boasting an extended wheelbase and oversized truck bed—perfect for heavy-duty work or serious adventure travel. Powered by Land Rover’s reliable 2.5L Td5 inline-five turbo diesel engine (122 bhp, 221 lb-ft torque) and paired with a rare Ashcroft automatic transmission, it offers smooth, relaxed driving on highways and tough terrain alike. With just over 163k miles, this right-hand-drive example remains in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. Its solid chassis, bulkhead, and door frames reflect careful maintenance, while the authentic RHD setup adds unique British charm and character. Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully upgraded with plush Masai tan flute-style seats accented by cream piping, fresh Exmoor Trim carpeting, a modern Momo 3-spoke steering wheel, and a sleek NAS-style automatic center cubby box—balancing comfort with function. Exterior enhancements include LED lighting, foldable side steps, KBX grille inserts, updated digital gauges, and an adventure-ready snorkel. All systems—heater, wipers, horn, drivetrain controls—are fully operational. With power steering, disc brakes on all wheels, and intuitive diff lock and 2-speed transfer case controls, this Defender is as comfortable on the road as it is capable off it. For Land Rover enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone seeking an iconic, authentic classic, this Defender 130 Td5 is a rare, ready-to-go legend built for adventure.
