This 1995 Land Rover started out as a European specification Defender 90 SW built as part of a limited run of petrol-engined Defenders using the Rover 2.0 MPI-derived engine for the Italian market to meet that country's tax regulations for vehicles with engines under 2.0 litres. It spent most of its life in Italy before the vendor purchased it in 2014 and took it to Dubai. Here it was renovated, resprayed in Atlantic Blue and fitted with NAS/50th Anniversary style internal/external roll cage. In 2017, the Defender came to the UK and the 4.0-litre V8 engine, automatic transmission, wiring, dash and various other components from a UK 50th Anniversary model were purchased and installed by Land Rover specialists JSF during 2024. 

The date of the Defender's UK registration was December 2024, and its V5C shows just  one registered keepers since coming to the UK. Its MoT is valid until November 2025 and its odometer shows circa 142,000 miles. Paperwork includes the V5C, current MoT certificate, and an invoice for the recent conversion work totalling nearly £12,000. There's also the book pack with owner's handbook and quick start guide, plus spare keys.
