I have finally managed to get a Defender 110 CSW so Dolly has to go.
I've owned her for just under two years and she has been great, she has been on many faultless family holidays (lakes, wales, new forest) as well as being a great laning vehicle.

I have made a few modifications, most of which have been to protect her from offroad damage.

Only two previous owners (Land rover for 6 months and then the previous owner until Oct 2010 when I brought it)

Available from 7th Sept 2012 (Only being sold as I now have a defender)
TAX until 31st Jan 2013
MOT until 1st Oct 2013 (booked in for 3/9/12)
Waxoiled - Nov 2010
Very well maintained, reams of paperwork and preventive maintenance
Raised air intake (Southdown)
Land Rover two tone boost alloy wheels with general grabber AT2’s
Also included is a matching nearside front wing (without snorkel cutout)
Extended breathers
QT diff guards (front and back)
Suspension raised (Terrafirma medium load)
Extended (2”) shock absorbers (Terrafirma pro sport)
Rear dislocation cones (Terrafirma)
Rock / Tree sliders
Steering guard (ProTrac)
Heavy duty tank guard with removable tow hitch & two recovery points.
Re-located tow electrics
De-cated
EGR removed
Removable dog guard
ES Spec:
Full leather
Electric front seats
Heated front screen
Electric mirrors
Electric windows (front and back)
Electric front and back sunroofs
Air conditioning
Driver and passenger airbags
Illuminated vanity mirrors.
****roof rack, cb & arial NOT included***
Advertised locally for £1750, but happy to take £1500
or £1250 and I'll not bother with the new MOT and the tax will be cashed in.

In the spirit of honesty and to avoid any wasted time I have listed below EVERY known fault she has. These are things that I always planned to fix but I've lernt to live with. All Landy's have these but most sellers wait for you to find them.

Corrosion - OSR wheel arch replaced and inner arch patched (apx 2" x 1") I hand painted this as its not seen unless the door is open.
The ABS plays up, so i leave it disconnected until MOT time.
Front carpets cut and removable to remove the sponge under the carpet.
Cruise control does not work.
Front sunroof does not work.
Rear NS window seems slower than the rest.
Plastic side trims removed to avoid sil corrosion.
Cracked OS mirror
Heated front screen not coming on (maybe switch)
Heated seats do not come on (switch lights up OK).
Wind screen wipers sometimes stay on, been told this is connections on the motor.
Most panels have some nettle rash.
Front OS wing has a dent which can be seen in the photo.

If its not sold before Sept I'll strip off the offroad bits and sell the Landy in standard spec.
If not sold before 1st Oct I'll be breaking for parts (seems a shame) so if need any parts, keep an eye.

Car will be collected and viewed from my house (address on the logbook) which is North of Colchester.

Thanks for looking
Nick.

Nick have you picked up the 110 yet.
Not yet, but it's promised to me and I'm told the owner sticks to her word.
I won't be using the 110 until after my holiday as I need a vehicle I know and trust. Hence the disco not being available to take away just yet.
Nick you wouldn't want to split the protective gear off it would you ?
Not yet mate. But I'll pm you first if and when I get to that stge.

Cheers nick.
 
My 110 is available from next week.
Open to offers. I need some cash quick!

Potential to make money from breaking the disco.
