Nice honest Landy. Looking forward to seeing the progress

I think mine kisses 80 but its not comfortable. Far better to sit behind a lorry at 65

Yeah it's best to have someone look over it before buying. There are some good YouTube videos of what to look out for also. A decent chassis and bulkhead are important. The more history the better.

My advice would be to find a £2000 late 80s with a MOT and use the rest for maintenance and improvements. You don't want to buy something you can't appreciate right from the start.

A couple of pics after finishing the priming!

I don't think you can go wrong with a defender. I bought a £2000 1987 90 from a dealer a few years ago and I have been offered more than that now. Parts are cheap and as long as it is maintained it will hold its value.

Glad you have got it done. I will be having a rear cross member fitted after a MOT failure on my 90. There is a few patches already so I'm guessing i will need a galvanised chassis in a few years. Great investment.

I might give that a go. My '87 conversion might be let off

I have looked into this as I travel into the zone from time to time. As maverick said it needs to be registered as a station wagon not a utility 4x4. You may be better off getting a non-compliant vehicle and fitting a filter for £1000-£1500, or try avoiding all ANPR cameras :)

Welcome, I would go for a 200tdi but I'd say you would need 1k for a decent one. Get one with a bit of history if you can.

Yeah I have been Essex off road a couple of times, broke a CV joint on my last trip but thankfully a helpful marshall got me drivable and on the road.
