Bought one.

I finally bit the bullet & bought my first Defender. After looking at loads I spotted this on fleabay & gave it a punt. I paid less than I thought it would go for & I am extremely happy with it.








What do you think of it.?

I was watching yours on ebay. It was a choice between the two. This one went off half an hour before yours & I got it at the right price. I thought yours would have went above my price bracket.

I has just recently been put together, so I wouldn't have thought so.

i was gutted mine went for so little and then buyer backed out

thats nice! take loads of pics while it lasts someone went to a lot of work to get it that clean!

looks well clean, time to put a few scratches on it reckon

I am so green, that's awesome. Happy driving!

That looks really nice!

very nice, just needs a snorkel and its good to go.

very nice

Gave it a good looking over yesterday & it is not without a couple of issues.

1. The stainless Janspeed exhaust is blowing at the manifold. Had a good look & it doesn't seem located properly, gonna take it off today & refit it.

2. There is a clunk coming from the back when lifting the clutch fast or taking your foot off the accelerator. Just ordered a new rear A-Frame ball joint, hope that cures it, if not it could be more sinister, perhaps some thing in the gearbox..

3. It's started marking it's territory..... seems to have an oil leak from the front crankshaft oilseal.. will look at that later this week.

other than that it's great.

Looks nice, not bad at all for £4,550

Yes I was watching it too

Tooooooooooo clean for my liking !
