Thanks for the comments fellas - I was fishing a little!
No idea mate - what are they worth?
A few creature comforts Leather seats (an Overfinch mod), air con - what's all that about in a Defender!!! I have always fancied the auto for off road - also Mrs Widget won't drive the V890 off road, she's a really good driver but lacks a little confidence and the auto box will help sort that.
I look at it from the POV that it was cheaper to get this than fit a cage, air con, auto box and 4 litre V8 to the old one... Plus this will get better resale than an upgraded older vehicle.
Can't wait to get and and use it properly off road. I think a few other 50th owners will think me a hooligan though.

Nice one, can I have first refusal when you've had enough
Saw a rather nice 90 with a TVR 5.3 lump fitted in this month's LRW mag, owner paid £75k for all the work

That's the reason why I sold the V8 90. No point spending a fortune to create something that is available ex-factory for less money?
The principle is a bit like the £30k Citroen Saxo. You can only polish a turd so much.
