All three doors are like new with nice door cards. New hinges with stainless steel bolts throughout. Galvanised swing away wheel carrier for the spare.
You’ll see a gap in the MOT history when it came to live with us in France between 2018-2022. Long MOT to Nov 2025 and it will sail through.
Full set of 5 x deep dish ‘wolf’ style rims with Falken Wildpeak A/ T AT3WA All Terrain tyres- no more than 3, 000 miles on them. Over £1, 100.
It has done 245, 138 miles! But you wouldn’t tell, I’ve known this truck from nearly new in 2000 when a good friend of mine bought it for his business. After a few years of motorway driving (where all the miles racked up) he bought it from his company and owned it until we bought it off him. It’s only covered 50, 000 miles in the last 17 years (3, 000miles a year). Speedo was changed back in 2008 after the original stopped working and I've got evidence of that.
Small dent on drivers side wing where some nice person reversed into it in a car park, forgot to photograph it!A lovely old school Defender 300Tdi which will run forever, the engines and transmissions in this age of Defender are legendarily reliable. It's slow and loud but great fun to drive especially if you are coming from driving something more modern.
It gets great comments whenever we drive it, but we need a 110 so this has to go.
