Niall I sent a very similar 110 LHD overland spec back from Dubai to the UK about 4 years ago. Getting insurance was an arse but I am with Sureterm direct on a specialist landy plan and limited mileage 300 and something quid.

hi there. I have a defender in North Wales that needs some work. Do you have any contact details for this chap Graham in Caerwys?
