Hello to you all from Hampshire!

Been toying with the idea of buying a 110 for a few years now and finally about to take the plunge if I can find the right one!

Looking forward to the receiving and giving of valuable advice (more likely the former at first) and general banter.

Regards

Dean

Hi Emptywallet,

Welcome to the looneyzone,

3 1/2 Years from joining to 1st post, you have been looking a long time..LOL

So have you found one or two yet you are thinking of getting or still looking, I recommend taking a second pair of eyes that have owned landies before to stop you making an expensive mistake.


Cheers

Yes been looking far too long!

I want a 110 station wagon, probably a TD5 as my budget is only about 12k.

Have seen this one which looks very tidy. It has been up for sale quite some time, which maybe to do with the colour and/or the price.

Looks pretty, wonder what it is like under the skirts....

Double check the vehicle history incl MOT. on the .gov websites.

Have a good poke around underneath, But it does seem expensive to my mind.

Cheers

Has it been resrapyed?

Looks like they've sprayed over the original defender 110 decal on the rear quarter. Also the bolts through the hinges are colour matched which I doubt is factory...

Seems to be a bit of oxidisation on the bulk head by the windscreen hinges as well unless its a light refraction.

Nothing wrong with a respray just doesn't state in the sale that it's been done. May be a cover up for areas of corrosion on the body for a quick sale which would be my worry as it will show its ugly head soon enough!
