OFF-ROAD AND winching legend David Bowyer is selling this fully-equipped and uprated 200Tdi Defender 90 – and is open to offers.

Devon-based David needs no introduction to LRM readers. Besides being the best-known off-road and winching expert in the UK, he is associated by many as the face of Land Rover shows thanks to his arena appearances, where his role as ringmaster saw him in charge of everything from winching demonstrations to kiddies' egg and spoon races.

So why is David selling a vehicle this good? He explains: "I now have a totally refurbished and rebuilt 1993 Defender 90 with a 300Tdi engine, which has been rebuilt on a galvanised chassis, with Gwyn Lewis suspension, True Trac diffs and all the goodies I have always wanted. It is my white G12 LRO with the matching white full roll cage which has been seen at Land Rover shows and features in several magazines, as well as front covers. It drives like new – and so it should, because it has taken three years to complete!

"It does everything my 200Tdi 90 does, and a lot more too. That means the blue 90 is now surplus to requirements and could be yours for a sensible price."

NB: the G10 BOW personal registration plate will be replaced with the original H974 GBH number.
