Land Rover Defender 90 300 Tdi in Red.

I bought the land last June from a place called Challenger 4x4 in Tongham, Surrey. When i bought it it was in a bit of a sorry state rust along the chassis rail and front cross member amongst other things.

I have decided to put it up for sale to see if it would sell, i am currently in the house buying stage of my life and would find it hard to see it sat in my garden while the house would take front stage. I don't need to sell it to fund anything so i am in no rush to let it go and if it doesn't go then i guess ill be having a garden ornament.

I started a progress thread on here so i could document all of the repairs.

As you can see i have spent a lot of money getting it into the running condition it is at now, everything is backed up with a receipt and a picture of all the parts getting renewed.

Looking at the millage on the mot cert i have covered under 1000 in my ownership just due to the fact i was enjoying welding it up even if it wasn't crucial.

The engine and gearbox sound fine with no rattles knocks or bangs at all, it drives straight and is really a great motor.
The body work is tatty with dents surface rust/oxidation and scratches around it but its is what you expect with a defender.

- Millage is at 120,000.
- JUST PASSED ITS MOT LAST MONDAY 11/05/2015.
- Cambelt change 400 miles ago
- Full service by me 400 miles ago
- Since owning it i have spent £££ on it which is backed up by every receipt.

I have put it back on the standard wheels which is the only difference between now and the last pic on my thread.

- 2'' extra wide arches
- Terrafirma 2'' lift kit
- Terrafirma turrets and securing rings
- New coolant pipes
- Wind deflectors and snow cowl

You are basically buying a defender with a chassis that has no rot in it.

Plus many other things documented in the thread.

I am putting it up for £4000 but i am open to an offer.

Any feed back on how to improve the for sale ad i would be grateful.

Thanks
Chris

Don't wanna be a :censored:,but the price sounds a little steep.

That's cool mate I expected people to comment on it but as you may of read from the ad I don't really need to sell it and from that I do t really know how to price it so I put up a price that I would accept but also said make an offer!

Thanks for looking though

Don't get me wrong,its got a lot going for it but without seeing in the flesh it sounds a little high priced.But I'm not saying its not worth it...

bump due to changing the ad

What year is it? Had a quick look through your thread - lots of good work gone into it. Is it just bodywork that's a bit tatty?

The years in the title.

Oh yeah. And I read the ad 3 times!

I would say that's a fair price for what's been done to it, if I had seen that 4 weeks ago I would have been seriously tempted. Not sure how I missed it

Chawks- its easily missed, i have done it may times lol.. The chassis is in good order as i have been over it fine detail as i hate rust/rot and plus i am a welder by trade so it made things a lot easier. Even the mot'er complemented me on the lack of rust. I say the body work is tatty, i may have been to honest/critical as it not as bad as it could be but i didnt want to try and fool anyone into thinking its a show room stunner.

Hi Chris, Could you send me some pics of the interior please? Does it come with the original arches as well as those +2" ones?

Also if you wouldn't mind I'd like the reg for an insurance quote please

Cheers
Matt
