1998 Land Rover Defender Wolf TUL Hard
Top
Detailed history of movements and maintenance while
with the MoD (originally 1 CS BN REME); reconditioned engine; recent MOT;
recently driven to the UK from France; showing only 31,000 miles
(49,240km)
Brightwells have sold many of these military Land Rovers over the
last few years, having held the Ministry of Defence
Government Disposals Contract for some time
now.
According to military records on file, this particular Wolf was
first released from the Ashchurch stores in 2004 to 1 Close Support Battalion to the REME,
so one would like to assume it was well looked after in its early days. After
this it appears to have been stationed with the Queens Royal Hussars until 2008
when it was looked after by the Yorkshire regiment until 2011. Looking at it, we
cannot imagine it was used much while in service and since then it
has mostly been in storage so although we can not guarantee it, the
odometer is probably correct at 49,240 kilometres. It also appears to have been
regularly maintained while in the military, based on details on
file.
Our vendor acquired the Landy in 2020, when it was UK registered
for public roads and a Heritage Certificate was obtained to confirm its origins
along with the military history. It’s a top example and has been regularly
used (in fact, our vendor has driven it from France for the auction!), covering
5,000km since he has owned it.
The floors, bulkhead and chassis all appear to be sound and apart
from a few age related marks, the truck looks very
respectable.
Most recently it has had a new LOF extreme spec clutch fitted, new
master and slave cylinders, new tyres, an RTC steering damper, Panhard rod
bushes, rear shocks, two new batteries and a cam belt in June this
year.
Lovely and original, apart from a repainted back door and what
looks like a re-conditioned engine (very common), this is a great
opportunity to get your hands on one of these magnificent bits of
kit.
