Land Rover Defender 110, XS. 2009. 85,000miles. Zambezi Silver. We bought 'Sylvia', in 2019 whilst living abroad, for use when back in the UK, she has taken us to Anglesea, Switzerland, Northumberland and Cornwall and has become part of the family. It is a very reluctant sale, but since we are moving home to the UK we need more of an everyday car. We are keen for Sylvia to go to a hunting home. XS means that Sylvia has the most bells and whistles she can have, leather seats, air conditioning, winch-ready. The engine is the powerful 2.4l 'puma', engine which includes 6 gears. While the car will not do 90mph without a strong wind behind her, she quite happily does 75mph for hours on end. The underside and chassis (which can be a concern on all defenders) has been treated and regularly maintained with Waxoil and is in excellent condition. The car has been looked after by LJ Cooper and Sons over the last 5 years and is generally in very good order. She is mostly kept in a barn whilst we are abroad and only wheeled out for summer use. MOT until July and we can arrange a service before sale. We are open to offers for a good home, but initial asking price is £24,000.

Sylvia can be viewed, in all her glory, between Tetbury and Cirencester. Please do email to arrange a viewing and a test drive.

If anyone has a pony that is part of the family they are no longer using but can’t bear to part with, we can give a lovely home for short or long-term loan. Eliza will be 5 this winter and her wonderful pony Toby is feeling his grand age so we are starting to look for the next one. Can be 11hh – 13hh but it’s important that she can feel happy off the lead rein for short spurts and be safe as her confidence grows. She is loving hunting with little friends, lessons, picnic rides, fancy dress and will do pony club camp next summer. We are just outside Great Somerford and are set up for laminitics so that’s not a worry.
