It says 4 x Granger tyres?? Where / what are those then?

Is it not meant to legally have a rear fog light?

Looks to me like a bit of paint thrown at a rough old motor. But I may be wrong.

Cheers
 
How much :eek::eek::eek:

NO, run for your life, a 90 it might be, but original it certainly ain't, I'll bet that poor thing has been proper abused and tarted up for a sale.

Hasn't even got 4 matching tyres FFS :oops:o_O:eek:

Give it a miss, save more and buy better, this looks like a mistake from the outset, had painted matt black too yuck, shows all the dirt and holds the stains from silt too.

Unless you're looking for a project motor of course but even then at that price o_O

Ive asked mechanic and engineer friends for what to look for but you'e right in saying I don't know what I'm looking for apart from what I've been told. Im a budding mechanic myself so thought a defender would suit me as I've heard they are easy to work on

They are generally easy to work on, they can also be money pits , drive you or not in fact to the edge of mental stability ..............and make you wish you had not bothered.

plus 1 , also wouldn’t be happy buying it
 
It's suspect isn't it ? Look at the mileage - hardly any in three or four years and less than 5k in eight years. Walk away perhaps?

As above - do your research and ideally take someone who knows Landy's. If that's not an option, make sure you've read everything you can on buying one, know what you're looking for and at and go over it properly.
