1987 LAND ROVER 110 DEFENDER CUSTOM V8

This started life as a 1987 National Grid 110 van. It has been stripped all the way down to the chassis and rebuilt (pictures available of build)

The chassis was in very good condition, other than a slightly corroded rear cross member so a new one has been fitted.

    I will sell her as she stands requiring finishing, alternatively i will finish her off and sell with an MOT, please ask for a price for this. Auction is for her as she stands, requiring finishing, allowing you to add your own finishing touches.
