Its sales listing said that the interior “interestingly only shows minor wear to the driver’s seat, indicating that this was not a chauffeur-driven Defender”.
The auction is set to go live on March 22 at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre and experts expect it to fetch between £42,000-£50,000.
The car – originally supplied by JLR Special Vehicles – is said to form part of “a small but dedicated Royal Collection, dutifully cared for by its fastidious owner”.
Iconic Auctioneers added: “By their nature, a Defender rarely has any form of creature comforts but, as one might expect, this superb example does have the luxury of heated seats and heated front and rear screens.”
