|
|
Hello Everyone,
I'm a new user - joined today. I've owned many land rovers over my time, having sold my 300TDI Soft Top this time last year.
However my favourite was my 1989 V8 (which I should never have sold);
Having recently been on the last factory tour for the Defender line - I've got the bug again.
So I'm looking to find and own one of the best Defenders made - the 50th.
If anyone here knows or see something up for sale I'd appreciate the heads up. I'm based in Manchester - but willing to travel for the right one. It must be as original and not been messed with. Any condition considered - I'm open to a project needing a rebuild - or something that is already restored. I've considered Japanese Imports; but will give these a miss for the time being.
SO FAR at the time of writing there are a couple out there.
094 which I've read previous posts has been on/off sale over the last few years. This is the 45K LR that is advertised on ebay or direct visit the website based in Guildford. http://www.shere4x4.co.uk/ for £23,994 but no more info or photos.
The other is 120 on sale for £23,995 on http://jimhallam.com/vehicle/1998-s-defender-90-v8-auto-50th-anniversary-atlantis-blue/ based in Leak Staffordshire. This however this isn't truly original - its lost its chequer plate and has those alloys although in colour are boost alloys and not the original freestyle.
Anyway thanks for reading

Hi Gary
I believe 120 is a Japanese import.
I am considering selling mine, if you would like details do a search on ebay item 201422782881
It has since had new suspension and Dinitrol treatment.

Thanks Rich,
I didn't realise that 120 was an import; even though its clearly written on the ad - i'll read the words next time instead of just drewling over the photos.
Talking of photos; I had a look at your ebay number; but unfortunately ebay had removed any photos - I couldn't expand the only thumb nail that showed. I did the the words this time
I travel to Cambridge with work about once per month; so could possible arrange to have a look on my next trip.
If you decide to advertise earlier - let me know.
Also what kind of price were you looking at? (PM me if you don't want everyone to know how low your very kind offer will be )
Also Thanks Albert for the ebay nodd.
