After purchasing a 90 and also another car as a daily driver, I need to reduce my fleet, so this needs to go.

It's a 1998 S reg TD5, 178k miles (replacement engine has been fitted in the past)
Chassis is spot on, nice and solid and hasn't been welded. Its been painted with hammerite in the past which could probably do with doing again to keep up the protection.

I've had the car for about a year and apart from a faulty bcu which has now been replaced, it's never let me down.

It's got a lot of expensive goodies on it, spec includes:
Facelift headlights
Heavy duty winch bumper
Heavy duty rear bumper
Rock sliders (not currently fitted but come with the car)
Terrafirma heavy duty steering damper
2" lift iron man suspension
2" body lift
35 x 10.5 x 16 Genuine Simex Extreme Trekkers including a spare. All with loads of tread (these retail at over £300 each when new!)
2" extended terrafirma wheel arches
Subaru WRX front seats
Sports steering wheel
Roof rack with work light
Rear ladder
Light bar with 4 spots
Safari snorkel
Axle breathers
Inclinometer
Straight through exhaust
Centre Diff lock
Swivel recovery eyes on front bumper

Recent work thats been done:
Injector seals replaced
New fuel pump
Fuel filter bleed valve
New fuel filter
New viscous fan unit
Replacement BCU
New fob sensor
Headliner retrimmed
Gearbox replaced
Rebuilt front prop
New clutch

the resprayed has been done professionally so the paint is good, but the black roof was painted diy by a previous owner. It's not too bad but not to the same standard as the body.

The car runs and drives great especially considering the mods it has. Test drives welcome. I'm located in Preston, Lancs.

MOT until November 2015

Private plate will be removed prior to sale

It caused a problem of a permanent left hand indicator signal and got worse to eventually immobilise the car. It also used to unlock itself during the night!
 
Half of me doesn't really want to get rid but I just haven't got the space for two land rovers and I want to give the 90 a go for abit.

Just sent the forms off to transfer the plate so once the log book comes back on its original plate I'll stick it on eBay.
 
Its a great car and i'm interested. I dont mean to offend you but would you take 2000? Im not suggesting your car isnt worth more...its just that 2000 is all i have to spend right now :)

Cheers

Mike
 
Would be interested but been told I cant have however if im a littlw bit richer in a ywar or two I might buy it off you but I would say that wont be on ebay long as it looks good
 
No offence taken don't worry. I can't take 2000 for it though sorry.

It is a good toy, but I can't justify keeping it as it's unused. Insurance runs out in November so it's not taking any harm until then.
