2012 Land Rover Defender 110 2.2 TDCi 7-Seater PO16 RYN 78,000 Miles Ex-British Embassy Nepal Winch A/C Heated Seats Cruise ControlA Defender with a DifferenceThis is no ordinary Land Rover Defender 110. Built in 2012 and previously used by the British Embassy in Nepal, this distinctive seven-seat Defender offers an interesting history combined with an extensive list of mechanical, comfort and off-road upgrades.The vehicle has covered 78,000 miles and is registered in the UK as PO16 RYN.Although it was used in Nepal and still retains its Nepalese number plate on the rear of the vehicle, it was never officially registered in another country. Its first official registration is therefore in the UK. The current registration number does not reflect the vehicle’s 2012 build year.Considerable time, effort and investment have gone into improving this Defender, with particular attention paid to driving comfort, mechanical condition, soundproofing and long-term corrosion protection.Mechanical Upgrades & Off-Road EquipmentThe vehicle has benefited from extensive work and improvements, including:* Brand-new wheels fitted with new all-terrain tyres.* New Terrafirma axle flange drive plates.* New air-conditioning condenser.* New engine radiator.* Major service carried out.* New idler pulley and belt tensioner.* Genuine Land Rover snorkel fitted.* Warn winch and winch bumper.* LED lighting throughout for improved visibility when driving at night.* Air conditioning.* Cruise control.Upgraded Clutch & GearshiftThe clutch system has been improved with a LOF Power Master clutch master cylinder, giving the clutch pedal a noticeably lighter feel and making the Defender easier and more comfortable to drive, particularly in everyday traffic.A Slickshift gearshift kit has also been fitted, providing a tighter, more precise gear change and improving the overall driving experience.These upgrades help make this Defender more enjoyable to use on longer journeys and during regular stop-start driving.Extensive Noisekillers SoundproofingOne of the standout features of this vehicle is the extensive soundproofing throughout the cabin.Specialist Noisekillers acoustic insulation and sound-deadening materials have been installed to address engine noise, road noise, panel resonance and vibration. This goes considerably beyond the limited sound insulation found in a standard Defender.Roof lining* 25mm Noisekillers Egg Box acoustic foam to absorb airborne noise and provide additional thermal insulation.Front bulkhead behind the dashboard* Noisekillers Premium Lead Sandwich soundproofing, incorporating a lead sound-barrier core between layers of Class O fire-rated acoustic foam, with a foil outer face. This helps block engine and transmission noise from entering the cabin.Doors* Noisekillers NK Mat sound-deadening material to reduce metal-panel vibration and resonance.* Additional 8mm waterproof Noisekillers Adhesive Sound Barrier to help reduce outside noise and improve cabin comfort.Floor and interior panels* Multiple layers of sound-deadening and acoustic insulation to help reduce road, exhaust and drivetrain noise.Under the bonnet* Fire-rated acoustic insulation to help absorb engine noise and reduce bonnet-panel vibration.The result is a Defender that has received considerable attention to cabin refinement, making it better suited to everyday driving, touring and longer journeys.Comfort & TechnologyThe interior benefits from a range of additional upgrades, including:* Heated front seats.* Heated front windscreen.* Heated door mirrors.* Electric windows all round.* Air conditioning.* Cruise control.* Pioneer head unit.* Vibe speakers and subwoofer for an upgraded audio experience.* Genuine Land Rover rubber floor mats.* Protective corner guards fitted to the front seat box.Combined with the extensive soundproofing and upgraded clutch and gearshift, these features make this Defender particularly well equipped for regular use.Condition & Corrosion ProtectionHaving previously been used by the British Embassy in Nepal, this Defender offers an interesting alternative to many older examples that have spent their entire lives exposed to the UK’s wet and salty winter roads.The vehicle is notably free from the rust and corrosion commonly associated with older Defenders, making its condition a particularly important part of its appeal.Additional protection has been provided through Dinitrol cavity wax and corrosion treatment, with the chassis finished in a durable Raptor protective coating. This provides a tough protective outer layer against the elements and helps guard against future corrosion.Why Choose This Defender?This seven-seat Defender 110 combines the character and capability of the traditional Land Rover with a carefully selected range of upgrades designed to improve comfort, usability and practicality.Highlights include:* 2012 build year.* 78,000 miles.* UK registration: PO16 RYN.* First officially registered in the UK.*
