motodrome are pleased to offer this 1999/T Land Rover Defender 90 TUL HS soft top 300TDi, otherwise known as a Wolf, finished in Nato IRR drab.
SPECIFICATION
Fitted with the full ‘Remus’ upgrade including front roll cage extensions and acoustic matting.
However, this is one of the few Wolfs that were configured for the Royal Marines as the Winterised/Waterproof model, in order for it to both operate in sub-zero conditions, and as an amphibious assault vehicle.
The winterised spec means it’s fitted with a Webasto engine fluids heater (not tested), heated front windscreen, and heaters in the rear cabin, meaning it can operate and keep the driver and passengers warm down to -46 degrees.
The waterproof spec means it’s fitted with a ‘periscope’ snorkel,, waterproofed electrical systems and instruments, and prepared with grease and graphite lubricant on practically every moving part. In training exercises the vehicles are operated in depths so that the driver’s head and shoulders are clear of the water. No other Land Rover can wade in as deep water as these.
This one is in 6 seater spec, with the usual 2 seats in the front, and 4 individual seats in the load area. It still has it’s external fittings specific to the W/W version including fuel filler cover and roof bars, but is also fitted with a remote control Warn winch (not tested) on the appropriate winch bumper, and folding side steps.
In otherwise-standard Wolf Remus military-spec, its fitted with: the correct 300tdi engine, power steering, matching set of 5 BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres on Wolf rims, military-spec PVC soft top, steering guard, front light guards, , rear bumperettes, rear mudflaps, NATO towhook, swingaway spare wheel carrier, side-opening tailgate, rear step, and the correct military spec roll bar assembly.
It’s further fitted with a X-Engineering hinged pedal lock, which is very useful.
MILEAGE, HISTORY ETC
Odometer reading 1700kms, which is incorrect as it was fitted with a replacement speedometer in 2021 at 63490kms. We’re selling it as ‘mileage known incorrect’ to avoid any misunderstandings.
The last owner bought it directly from MOD disposal and registered it in 2019, and is the only keeper on the V5.
He’s had it properly serviced and maintained, and there are bills available for annual servicing since 2019. Last serviced 10/10/22 when the new speedo was showing 1496km, and it’s done minimal mileage since.
Whilst it comes with MOT to October 2023, we’re happy to provide a fresh 12M MOT on sale
No VAT either chargeable or recoverable on this one, and all properly UK registered.
It drives exactly as a Wolf should, with plenty of power and a feeling of unbreakable strength that you don’t get with civilian ones – the chassis and running gear are far tougher on a Wolf.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll find our usual 2 videos: a walkaround appraisal, and driving impressions, which form part of the description.
We also have a Penman trailer in stock here that would pair very well with this Wolf.
