This 1998 Land Rover Defender 130 is a rugged and highly capable long-wheelbase pickup, acquired from Walton Motors 4x4 in the U.K. before being imported to the United States in 2024. Finished in striking black over a black and grey interior, it carries the purposeful, utilitarian presence that has made the Defender 130 one of the most sought-after configurations in the entire Land Rover lineup. Its right-hand-drive configuration adds to its authenticity and charm, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the Defender in its original form.
Power comes from the reliable 2.5L 300TDI turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder engine, known for its durability, simplicity, and impressive torque deliverytraits that make it ideal for both work and adventure. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission that has been rebuilt for smooth, dependable shifting, while an upgraded heavy-duty clutch pressure plate and new flywheel ensure strong and consistent power engagement. Together, these components deliver a mechanical driving experience that feels fresh, solid, and ready for years of use.
This Defender 130 benefits from several key mechanical and functional upgrades that enhance its capability and durability. These include new differentials, skid plates for underbody protection, a new front bumper equipped with a winch, and a full set of new wheels and tires. Rock sliders further protect the truck's body and chassis, ensuring it is properly equipped for off-road travel. These improvements make the vehicle more rugged, more versatile, and more confidence-inspiring in demanding terrain.
With 125,000 miles, this Defender 130 has been well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, representing a blend of authenticity and enhanced usability. Its long-wheelbase configuration provides exceptional utility, while its classic diesel powertrain and newly refreshed components ensure it remains both capable and dependable. For collectors, enthusiasts, or adventurers searching for a properly sorted Defender 130, this example offers strength, style, and proven mechanical integrity.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
