I gather there are series 1 and 3 (not 2?) and then defenders. Is there much difference other than age? Some series have few miles compared to the defenders and look In good nick (from photos).
There is one for sale for £500... 1966... Could be worth a look for that money. But I gather its. Series rater than a defender. No mot or tax- it would obviously be a restoration job. But maybe good to start at zero?
Oh and just because it's 500 quid at the mo, don't expect it to stay at that price
you need to research a lot more into it. Series and defenders drive completely differently

Thanks for the info RE them driving differently. Researching is exactly what i am doing by being part of this forum and by asking questions in this thread! If there are other sources that you think i can get more info then please do let me know. Perhaps some info on what is different about their drive? Buildability? Availability of materials?
I purchased the '4x4 is born' dvds. They are a bit different to what was on TV as they seem to have grouped all the workshop bits together and he just dives right in there (i seem to remember he went and spoke to people at events when it was on TV). It gives me a good over view so far...
Any good books? I have Haynes books for other cars, but i see for the defender there is the 'workshop manual', 'modifying manual' and 'servicing and repairs'. Any suggestions on what is best for a re-build? The workshop manual?
go and see some for sale. test drive them and you'll see what i mean![]()
I'm from near Aberdeen - about 25 miles out.
The 90 and 110 are the same in the front. Three across but most people have taken the middle seat out as it is cramped and fitted a cubby box to store things in. There are various configurations in the back for both the 90 and 110 ranging from a van to seating for 12 in a 110, pick up or even a cherry picker or crane or a fire tender and Ambulance.
