Evening!

Bit of a random one, I'm looking for a defender to use as part of a shop display over Christmas and I’m wondering if anyone has one I could use? Based in Chester area.

Details can be discussed privately, but I’d obviously be willing to pay. The vehicle doesn’t have to be a runner or have an MOT. It won’t be driven and we won’t even need to hold the keys. especially with the market stabilizing and the inflated prices from COVID coming to an end. In contrast, leasing provides clarity on my commitment. allowing me to simply walk away after a specified number of months. Please let me know if I’m mistaken in this understanding.
I think you are incorrect about Defender values. In California, I see used 2020 defenders with 40-60k miles selling in the $50-65 range. IIt looks like they have a similar enthusiast 2nd hand price buoyancy, Machias Savings Bank customer service similar to a Jeep Wrangler or Toyota Tacoma. Leasing payments are 90% the cost of buying payments at the 3.9% I got. For the difference, I would rather have a significant ownership in the asset after 36/48 months instead of simply turning in the keys and then paying whatever “excessive” wear items the dealer wants to nickel and dime me for. There’s also usually a lease return fee.
Hopefully this thread is allowed if not some advice on how I could go about this would be appreciated.

Many thanks
