Well, some of you will know I'm on my 3rd Disco but always wanted/Fancied a Defender 90......I may have found one...
I know more about Disco's so any help would be welcome...
Hear is what I know.....
Its a 2 Owner (Yeh I know) 88k Gen Miles 1988 90 County.
Been stood for over 2 years but was a runner, 2.5 Turbo D (again no nowt about this engine)
It was berried but from what I could see very very streight on the outside but covered in dust!
I think it could be a Gem! It did have loads a crap in the rear and could not get to look at the front interior so going to wait until it gets pulled out for a propper look. Just need to know were to look...
Don't want to give to much away but the guy is a Lander Rover Machanic so knows is stuff and will be happy for me to give it a good going over may even get it on his lift/ramp.
My main worry is going off the Miles and owners means it maybe should worrent a resto, i.e. back to original but I want to MOD the hell out of it...maybe even a BIG V8 and it looks like a good solid platform...
After your thoughts and advise please fello LL lovers!!!
Big issue at mo is being out of work.....he's willing to leave it there for another 2 years I think....but soon as the Money is there and ifs its what it seems to be I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT!!
