🇪🇸🚙 GALICIAN MISSION — PART 2: THE TEST DRIVE! 🇬🇧🔥
After driving more than 1,000 km from Zahara de los Atunes, Cádiz ➡️ Madrid ➡️ Ourense, Galicia, in just a couple of days, it was finally time to get down to business.
But this Personal Car Shopper mission was different… because this time the family came along for the adventure. ❤️

🇪🇸 And another Defender mission across Spain!
After arriving in Ourense and spending the first evening together at the hotel, the next morning I left the family enjoying breakfast while I went to meet my client, Rob.
Rob is English, a former bank manager who took early retirement and bought a home in Murcia. And for his new chapter in Spain, he wanted something special:
🇬🇧 A genuine RIGHT-HAND-DRIVE Land Rover Defender.
And we found a very interesting one. 👀
A beautiful GREEN Defender bought NEW by an elderly British couple who had owned and driven it themselves for around 25 years.
Around 15 years ago, they brought the Defender to their retirement home in Galicia, where it was registered on Spanish plates. 🇪🇸
The vehicle was waiting for us at a Land Rover specialist/dealership in the Ourense area, where Roberto, the owner, brought it outside for us.

🛣️ TIME FOR THE TEST DRIVE!
We took the Defender onto the Galician roads to find out if this was really THE ONE.
This is what my Personal Car Shopper Service is about.
I travel wherever the right Defender takes us — Cádiz, Madrid, Galicia, Barcelona, Portugal… all over Spain and beyond — searching, inspecting, test-driving and helping my clients buy the right vehicle.
And the Galician Mission isn’t finished yet… 👀
