    Hi all, Thank you for your replies! The defender we are talking about is a 90, year 2003 and they want €17,500 for the car (in the Netherlands). I think it is better to look further, but I am not sure yet....

    Happy to donate use of a field if North Devon suits anyone. Date by agreement !! About 25 mins from M5 JCN 27. As it's a field you'd need a 4x4 🤭

    I'm pretty good at loosing everything so the first thing I did after building my garage was screw this board to the wall and hang my spanners in full view. I still loose them from time to time but usually not for long.
