Been to see the defender today and was most disappointed!! I tapped the chassis with a hammer from one end to the other. Every 10" sounded completely different so i'm guessing there is some fairly major rot underway. The engine and engne bay was covered in slit, so i assume it has spent plenty of time in a river. The engin sounded awsome as you'd expect the v8 lump to, but its not an exageration to say that my old 2.5 N/A had more pull. The futher you put you're foot down, the more noise it made, but it was all revs and no go.

So i think we'll leave that one.

Just found another potential but it's 250 miles away, worth the drive if its a goodun though.

Fingers crossed.
