Here we have one 1990 Defender 130 200tdi complete with PTO winch and a gear box.

Everything else except the chassis is cheese. I put my finger through the crossmember, outriggers and bulkhead.

Engine is shot, but i had a dream of using a D3 V6 engine or a TD5.

It has been dumped with a scenic sea view and had been robbed of many parts over a period of about 15 years.

So here's the question...would I be potty to consider this as a long term project and how much should I offer?

I have a ready supply of coins from down the back of the sofa and a cupboard full of Twix and Mars.

Needs noo chasssis and bulkhead plus all the missing parts. I wiouldmn't bother unless it's very cheap then it's worth it for the winch and PTO.. and scrap the rest.

Offer em £200. tell em only thing worth having is the winch & bumper. Yu woin't be lying.
 
Not much left to save on that one. Other thing to consider is how are you going to shift it. Pulling it out with a tractor would probable rip it in half
 
The chassis seemed quite solid, just the bulkhead, rear x member and outriggers are cheese.

I considered selling the tub, winch and pto to fund some of the restoration.
 
looks like a nice project.... all depends on the price i guess.... I would say its only worth it if you plan to keep it as you won't get the money back you put into it
 
Are there actually any undented panels on it, the only things that look unmolested are the headlights. Looks a huge money pit to me,

How far away is it as the last time I went through Nuneaton I don't remember a sea view. I know the A5 get's flooded now and again but I didn't think it was that bad
 
cant believe those back doors are still there and the roof is worth a bit .
would say its not worth more than £200/300 at most tbh though
