Hi all
After selling my 11 plate USW (miss it lots but living a happy life on the IOW) a couple months ago and tooling about in a 07 freelander2 on a job in Cumbria with a commute of 230 miles from South Wales. Ive now completed that contract and the freelander has served its purpose and sold it after 5000 faultless miles in a couple months! I spotted a Defender 110 DCPU for 10k on a 08 and XS model so I'm collecting it with the trailer tomorrow at 11am super excited!  
Im told it needs a good service, a UJ and a cracked screen, it looks like its worked for a living towing judging by its MOT history and lots of worn bushes on the shocks popping up on every mot fail. It needs a MOT too Its done 135k miles So lets the modding begin all over again!!!  2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Alas I sold the last one with everything still fitted aside from a mantec plastic jobby snorkel and a set of Mach 5's on BFG KM2 muds.
So ill be on the hunt again for bits like LED headlights, cubby box, NAS Led lights etc. I may convert it to Utility with new roof, sides and rear door but see how it goes! Im thinking about going Spectre 007 look on this one with the 37" Maxxis trepador tyres 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Mission accomplished and safely tucked up in the workshop!
nice drive down into the wilds of Devon too to collect it from Tredown Land Rovers
Seller said he had 45 calls about it! Clearly used in a farm environment, plenty of mud in the chassis, interior and oil/coolant low plus a starting issue. On the upside it has great BFG AT's all round and not one dent on the body
