Overland Land Rover Defender 110 For Sale
I've made the tough decision to sell my Defender. She performed extremely well on my recent overland adventure to Central Asia, covering 23,000 miles in 5.5 months. I can no longer get vehicle insurance in the UK as a non-resident. I've considered moving it to France but, with no further overland travel on the horizon, I've decided that it makes more sense to sell her. Details are below.

That's a real pity
Hi there, we did a similar (shorter) trip last year from LDN to Hong King through Europe, Turkey- Iran- the Stans and then China- 28 000 kms - 4.5months and in the end it felt as if our defender was our home!! what a
wonderful time we had.
I wish you could keep your vehicle!! it sounds as if you had a fantastic time as well! I get really attached to land Rovers specifically

Sounds like a great trip Jill. I also know what you mean about getting attached to vehicles. I became very fond of my Defender. She didn't put a foot wrong throughout the trip.
I can no longer get vehicle insurance in the UK as a non-resident, so that is one of the reasons I am selling. Also, with no further overland trips on the immediate horizon, it is difficult to justify maintaining the Defender in another country without being used for a couple of years.

Hi Bermudalandy
Interested in the description of your Landy.
I see it is in Somerset. I am in Wiltshire, near Westbury.
Would like to have a look at it. Could that be arranged?

I love that one! And I would buy it directly if I would have 20k EUR spare and my wife wouldn´t go crazy (just bought her an Transalp, so the next lag of the trip we go on 4 wheels, just 2 times 2).
Good luck in selling it to a good home!
Cheers Sascha

Alan,
You are more than welcome to see the vehicle in Somerset. The road tax expired at the end of November so it is now listed as SORN. As such, it cannot be legally driven to you in Wiltshire for viewing.
