Usually when people sell up, they move on to something more modern, faster, refined, and comfortable. This is none of these things.  ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.

It was a shed, ye bulkhead was basically made of catty and a screwdriver went straight through it. The seller was convinced it was fine as it wasn't structural and would pass an MOt like that too..________________________________________ team: Stealth |

Nice Defender. Was it originally a 300, or was it converted from a 200? Can't remember the crossover year...My parents have the 2.5 N/A 110, it is staggeringly slow and has the heaviest clutch and steering of any vehicle I've ever driven. Must scratch my itch for a nice original 300 90 at some point but the prices are huge.  |

Cheers eddy, picking it up this morning, can't wait it's like Christmas back when you were a kid. As far as I know it's an original 300 tdi, the crossover for the td5 was 1995/6 iirc________________________________________ team: Stealth |
