Description Purchased from the police a number of years ago after being stolen and recovered; galvanised chassis and bulkhead; chassis number removed hence the DVLA assigning a Q plate; parts identified as being 1997/1998 by John Craddock Ltd This Defender 90 was purchased by John Craddock Ltd in 1998 from a police auction of stolen and recovered vehicles.
At that time the MOT on file shows the mileage as 23,978, which is assumed to be correct, although there is no known history since its original manufacture in 1997/98.
