Land Rover Defender 130 Crew Cab

*Price is €55k including Vat

There are Defenders, and then there are Defenders that just stop you in your tracks. This 2017 Land Rover Defender 130 Crew Cab Pickup firmly falls into the latter category and is without doubt one of the nicest examples we’ve had the pleasure of offering for sale.

Finished exactly as a proper Defender should be, this is the hugely desirable 130 Crew Cab configuration, meaning you get the practicality of a serious pickup combined with proper five-seat comfort. It’s a rare thing to find a Defender that manages to look this purposeful while still being such a clean, well-kept example, and with low mileage and a strong service history it’s clear this one has been cherished throughout its life.

Visually, it has all the right upgrades that elevate it from a standard Defender into something far more special. Sitting proudly on upgraded wheels that perfectly fill the arches, the stance is exactly what you want from a 130. Up front it’s been fitted with the classic Defender grille and bonnet protection grates that give it that unmistakable expedition-ready look, while the snorkel completes the proper off-road aesthetic and hints at the capability that lies beneath.

It’s the sort of Defender that looks ready for anything, whether that’s a weekend away deep in the countryside or simply being admired parked outside your favourite pub. Step inside and things get even better. The interior has been upgraded with improved seats that make a noticeable difference to comfort, transforming the driving experience while still keeping the authentic Defender character intact. With seating for five adults thanks to the crew cab layout, this is a Defender that’s just as happy carrying passengers as it is hauling gear in the generous pickup bed. What makes this example particularly special is the balance it strikes.

It has all the visual presence and rugged upgrades you want from a Defender, yet it remains a very tidy, well-cared-for vehicle with sensible mileage and a solid service record. Finding a 130 crew cab in this sort of condition is becoming increasingly difficult, and when they look this good they don’t tend to stay around for long.

A proper, head-turning Defender pickup that combines rarity, practicality and the kind of presence only a classic Land Rover can deliver. One of the best we’ve had through the doors.
