1997 Land Rover Defender 90 for sale, Epsom Green £6,750

116,000 miles R reg 1997

For sale is my Defender 90. HPI clear. Mot Mar 2015

This Land Rover has the bullet proof 300tdi engine, which runs flawlessly, and will comfortably cruise at motorway speeds.

Since owning I have changed the oil every 2500 miles
The chassis is solid and was wax oiled before winter, there are a couple of patches in the usual places, but otherwise sound. There are a couple of bad points: the side panels are a bit bruised, the reversing light does not work and the bonnet sound proofing is tatty

It performs very well for a standard; and near original vehicle.

It has a few extras including :
a snorkel,
rear diff guard,
rock sliders (not that they are needed but much stronger than the original aluminium sills)
Front A bar with two 100w spot lights.
stereo
dog cage
Tow bar with electrics.
Chequer plate fitted to wing tops
3 seats up front, seat covers fitted as the two outer seats are showing signs of wear.


Extensive work has been carried out in the last 6 months :-

New brake pads and discs all round
New steering drop arm and track rod
Front swivels replaced and rebuilt
New rear coils and shocks
New Fan belt and tensioner
All oils and filters changed (including differentials)
New alternator
New fuel lift pump
Two new tyres

This is a great truck finished in one of the nicest Classic Land Rover colours that not only looks the part but also performs very well. Please feel free to come and have a look - give me a call on 07807801087

Ah yes, I am near Northwich, Cheshire

£6500

6.5k with a patched chassis
Are people really paying these prices, for old welded up defenders ?

In a word yes. Have a look at autotrader. Isn't a decent 300tdi for under 8k.

Depends how well the 'patches' have been done but I would have thought a well maintained 300tdi would fetch that much all day long

It was done by the previous owner who had a land rover specialist do all the work. When I wax oiled the chassis I wire wheeled them back, and a good job had been done. not just plate welded over.

The asking price is based on what I have spent on it, excluding labour. And other comparable vehicles.

Is it still on the market?

Cheers
