1998 Land Rover Defender 130 300Tdi Hi-Cap 5-Speed

1998 Land Rover Defender 130 300Tdi Hi-Cap 5-Speed offered at online auction by Repo Vehicle Holdings. Bank-sourced car with a clear title, VIN history report, no buyer fees and a 30-day return window. Open bidding with the full bid history visible.

Finished in metallic black over white-stitched black leather upholstery, the truck is powered by a 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-four linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Other equipment includes a locking center differential, 16″ Sawtooth-style wheels, disc brakes, LED lights, a Puma-style hood, side steps, a rearview camera, touchscreen infotainment, Apple CarPlay connectivity, heated seats, power windows, and air conditioning.

The body was removed from the chassis during the build and refinished in metallic black. The windows and seals were reportedly replaced, and exterior details include LED lighting, a Puma-style hood, windshield and front-fender vents, a front skid plate, dual side mirrors, tubular side steps, a drop-down tailgate, a rearview camera, and fender flares. The windshield wipers work intermittently, and close-up photos of the finish are provided in the gallery below.

Black-finished 16″ Sawtooth-style wheels are mounted with 265/70 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and a matching spare setup is secured in the bed. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs, which were overhauled along with the suspension in 2024.

The reworked interior received replacement insulation in conjunction with the heated front bucket seats and split-folding rear bench being reupholstered in white-stitched black leather with diamond-pattern inserts. The dashboard, center-console lid, and door panels are trimmed to match, and additional appointments include air conditioning, power windows, added USB outlets, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay linked to a Pioneer subwoofer.
