General
v Drives and works as it should
v Cant think of anything it will need for straight away fun in the mud or general use
v It is 30 years old and thus drives with character
v I can not photo every bump and scratch but take it as very presentable or come and view it! But you expect these as these are unbelievably strong and go for years, or decades!!
I’ve tried to think of everything possible and like I would expect, been as honest and upfront about my beautiful Defender.
Please come and view it, test drive it, bring a mechanic whatever you need to do.
