Land Rover Defender 130

The Land Rover Defender 130 began life as the longest wheelbase variant of the original utility line, often built as a chassis-cab for specialist conversions like ambulances or cherry pickers. The most common and desirable configuration for collectors is the double cab pickup, which combines seating for 5 with a usable cargo bed. Its sheer size and rarity compared to the 90 and 110 models give it a unique presence.

Collectors are drawn to the 130 for its unmatched practicality and overlanding potential. It's the ultimate base for go-anywhere expedition builds, and its rugged, utilitarian aesthetic is highly sought after. Because many were used as work vehicles, finding a clean, well-maintained example can be a challenge, which adds to its value.

The market for the Defender 130 is broad, with an average sale price of around $62,636. This wide spread reflects the huge variety of vehicles available, from tired ex-utility trucks to fully restored and modified examples. The recent inclusion of the new L663 generation 130 in sales data also contributes to the high-end prices observed.

Prices for Land Rover Defender 130s range from $19,000 for project-grade examples to $176,000 for restored or new-generation models.
