kevin50 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Had to sell my old 90 due to health reasons last year, just started to get the hang of fixing and replacing bits and bobs on it. Learnt a lot from here. Anyway think I'm on the mend now and time for another one.Just bought this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-110-Rolling-Chassis-Barn-Find-/192420808375?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=98maI5kcq74bfRhYbK42BEPpxyg%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc but might be a little out of my depth, Not sure if I got a good deal or not but it seemed quite reasonable to me. It has not arrived yet so cant comment until I see it in the flesh, Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have seen it before and I know there will be a wealth of info on there for me. Gonna see what this chassis is like first, would love to galvanise but really cant afford it yet, I suppose I could get on with cleaning the axles and rebuilding them first till more money comes along, but will have to wait to see exactly what Ive got when it all arrives, Did anyone notice photo 6 on the Ebay page, rear crossmember is shot but there is brand new one that comes with it. Western your welcome to come and have a look and give me some advice when ive got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin50 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Got a bit more info on my purchase today from the seller, he does not know much about landys himself but he was asked by a neighbour to sell this one as it was just sitting in a barn where there was a house clearance,on some country estate in Essex as the previous owner of it had started to repair but for some reason or other had to stop then moved away. he says just about all the parts are there but there is some I cant see on the photos although all the major ones seem to be, ill find out when it arrives. Is there a way to contact previous owner frim name on log book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I’ve recently contacted the two most recent owners of a vehicle (both available on V5 privided at purchase) by using searches on the internet. I used name and address and got enough detail (Facebook, 192.com etc) to eventually find their Twitter names and got replies from both within a few hours of my ”tweets”.
