I finally have a Defender!!!!
Picked it up today after much hassle and stress from ordering a new one at the dealer and going through lots of used listings. Going back and forth between a tdi and a tdci, but finally I think I made the right choice with this eBay found car.

110 Utility 2.4
Orkney Grey
2011 (61 Plate)
9,200 miles

It's at Nene for the next few weeks to get the ROYAL OVERLAND TREATMENT

Pretty relieved to finally have this sorted, I really can't wait for it to be prepped though. I'm not joking when I say that this is going to be one of, if not THE best looking Defender out there Thumbs Up

OME suspension
Memo steering wheel
Recaro seats
Tempurpedic Mattress
Wheels
Stainless hinges
tyres
fridge
brakes
Winch
LED lights
decals
gas tank
water tank
tune
the list goes on.. My Travel Page
