Hi all,
Looking at buying first LandRover, Defender 90 for throwing mountain bikes in and clay pigeon shooting, just keep local, nothing too serious.

But to say I am confused with widely different pricing is understatement, OK to do bit of work, OK with welding and built kart engines for years so fairly comfortable around spanners.

When I see this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-90-2-2-TD-DPF-XS-Station-Wagon-3dr/174246587476 alarm bells start to ring when I see late 80's stuff way more expensive.

Thanks Brian, trying to find what is real and scam on ebay is tiresome Not many SH in UK, harder to get than a decent Defender

Hi and welcome!

Take a look at the classifieds in the likes of LRO. There shouldn’t be any scammers there and most will be enthusiast-owned. eBay is full of scammers and it’s just getting worse.

When you get one, invest in some decent security measures for it. They are easily stolen and very popular with thieves sadly. But don’t forget some pics here too!

Buy a Freelander 1 or 2 instead.
