I have a tax exempt 1971 series 2a lightweight 2.25 petrol updated to a series 3. A local chap has called at my house and wants to buy it but I really don't know what to ask for as I had not planned on selling.
If this list doesn't bore you - read on...
It is not a perfect military model or show vehicle - though it is undercoated and Nato Greened only last year (roller). No dents. New doors, new door tops, side impact bars, new road tyres all round and Rocky Mountain parabolics all round (which gives a 2" lift by default). Free wheeling hubs. No rust - as in NO rust. The superior Dutch military rubber canvas & new hood stick set. Galvanised tub cappings. Stainless steel straight through exhaust pipe. New rear cross member. Re-wired. New Defender lights all round. Rear tub lined with duralloy. Bulkhead great. Fly screens removed and area plated with aircraft alloy, plus a 4 mm thick steel strip welded across top of bulhead for strength. Dual servo assisted brakes. New brake pipes etc. Tub lined with fitted alloy. Waxoyled to death. Two excellent modern Ford front seats, but series seats there also. 4mm plate welded steel petrol tank in rear tub. Side mounted water and jerry can holders with both cans included. Footwells repaired in glass fibre - therefore no future rot. New Nato Convoy switch, working smiths heater, and Kenlowe fan. A military recon series 3 gearbox just fitted. Defender diff in rear and one ready to fit in front. Defender hinges fitted - no stealing of doors! Galvanised military bumperettes front and back. New hub seals all round.
I don't want to rip this guy as he is genuine and the sort of chap who will look after it. It is totally waterproof and starts on the button. Always dry stored and ready to MOT. What's the fair price?????
Any comments welcome - thanks.
