Kim Basinger's One-Owner Defender Heads to the Block

· 1 min read

A Land Rover Defender with a single name on its ownership history is now crossing the auction stage: Kim Basinger, the "L.A. Confidential" star, has held the classic 4x4 since new. For collectors, that unbroken chain of ownership is its own kind of provenance, often more prized than mileage or condition alone. The sale marks the first time the Defender changes hands since Basinger bought it.

With reporting from Robb Report Motors.
