I'm afraid I can offer no comments regarding PDI etc, but I took a trip down to look at the green beastie today and was massively impressed - build quality looks good, it looks mean and purposeful, those wolf rims with the MTRs *really* are the icing on the cake, it just wouldn't have been half the vehicle had it been on standard steelies. It also has ABS and T/C which I forgot to mention before, as well as the full tow pack. I may upgrade to an adjustable hitch at some point in the future.
So all the paperwork is done now and I just need to collect it on Wednesday... 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Thanks. No, this truck will never, ever be getting chequerplate. I hate the stuff!  2011 110 USW

A nice Defender that, And chequer plate on wing tops was invented to hide elbow dents.. had it on my TD5 and it is just a mess when removed, it ruins good panels. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

I can't see any reason why I would be climbing on the bonnet/wings...

I found that the wing tops were always getting things rested on them - coffee cups, tools, etc so they wing tops were worth it. John

I've decided it will be getting front flaps and interior mats for the cab section, they will be on/in when I collect. 2011 110 USW

I wouldn't want any clones running around now, but I can't fault your good taste!
More seriously, I think the USW is in so many ways the ideal Landrover, with space enough for 5 in comfort, and secure storage in the back away fro prying eyes and sticky fingers. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Erm, its a base, but the only base bits are the vinyl carpets inside. Its actually closer to an XS internally but with cloth rather than part leather seats. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |
