Hi guys
always liked the series 1 and there's a possibility that I can swap my defender for a half decent very original 2.0 soft top is it a good idea or am I being daft ?
I have a defender on a galvy chassis genuine 200 tdi

Do it.. Defs are ten a penny you can get another any time.. :)

This is what I was thinking but I'm not sure if I could use a series 1 as much as I do the fender .. I'm a member of the local 4x4 response group so it wouldn't be much good for that

I think you have gone past the stage of daft and should seek help from a mental health professional !!!

Keep the galv chassis 200tdi.
 
Can see what ya thinking, but reckon you would still end up having to buy another Fender for practical use.
Keep the Fender and save up for a Series :)
 
They are completely different vehicles
Have you ever had a good proper go in a series one or any series around that age

you have already said it will limit you in what you use it for
Will her in doors like going down Tescos in it in a gale :eek:

F it just do it ,Are you a man or a mouse
 
do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it
 
Would you swap a motorcycle for a push bike ?
Thats about the usability difference .
Not too bad for a leisure drive on a nice summers day , purgatory when you have to drive to work on a freezing winter morning . And Ive had a few of each , and everything in between as well !
 
Thanks guys , even the chap selling it said I may regret the swap I've had a ride in a few series 3 never a series 1. Judging by all your remarks I may just save for a series 1 for the future... Here's a picture of it. The chap doesn't want a great deal of money for it, but I have just bought a house so all the savings are gone.

Whereabouts is the S1? and how much? Not for me, but I know someone who's after adding to his little collection .. A V8 Disco1 a V8 101 GS and a 2.25 petrol S3!

It's in Cornwall and he wants 4k for it needs a few bits to tidy it up but it's chassis and bulkhead are very good
 
Cheers, that's well within budget. I'll have a word and pass details on. He's on holiday right now, but will be back next weekend. Can you send further details, pm if you don't want addresses/phone numbers broadcasting, please.
