Hello all
I have recently moved from the UK to South Africa on an 18 month secondment with work.
Having always wanted a Defender, I have recently purchased a 1998 Defender 90 2.8i. This is a model specific to South Africa and was built during BMWs ownership of Land Rover in the late 1990s.
The car is absolutely fantastic and I am already exploring options for bringing it back to the UK in 14 months time.
I am wondering if anyone knows if this car would pass emissions tests in the UK? The vehicle cost £30 to tax for the year here in Stellenbosch, I know it will be much more than that in the UK. Currently I am getting about 8km/ litre, but fuel is costing me 55p a litre, so not much of a concern, but obviously a challenge if I was to bring it to the UK.
Any comments/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Kenny
