Sergey Bodrov's SUV went on sale in Russia

In Russia, an announcement about the sale of a 2000 Land Rover Defender SUV appeared on the classifieds "Drom". The author of the publication, which drew the attention of Izvestia, claims that the first owner of this car was actor and TV presenter Sergei Bodrov, known for starring in the dilogy "Brother" by Alexei Balabanov.

The Land Rover Defender is located in Serov, Sverdlovsk region, and is sold for 1.18 million rubles. According to the announcement, the car is equipped with a diesel 2.5-liter engine with a capacity of 122 hp with a manual transmission. The mileage is 370 thousand km. The ad is accompanied by a picture of Bodrov against the background of this white SUV.

The current owner of the car notes that the condition of the car body is "excellent", there are small dents. The condition of the chassis is excellent. The SUV is equipped with Koni Sport shock absorbers, reinforced semi-axles, a compressor for pumping tires, an expedition roof rack with a ladder, a kangaroo cage, Hella fog lights, a snorkel for overcoming deep water obstacles, mud tires and other improvements.

In a conversation with Izvestia, Anton Shaparin, vice president of the National Automobile Union (NAS), noted that cars with "star" owners regularly appear on sale, and usually these cars are luxury. However, such popularity of cars is not a guarantee of their quick sale. Lyudmila Zykina's Cadillac became a legend in this regard and was sold for many years, while Garik Sukachev's Bentley ended up in a trade-in.

"This Land Rover seems to say a lot about Bodrov's personality. This is a work car, far from the word Comfort. It's hard to ride in it. It's amazing that it turned out to be so far from the capital, not settled in someone's collection. The current state, of course, cannot be called good. Obviously, making it look decent will cost more than the car itself," Shaparin said.
