TSD Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'm going to stick with my original WTF!!!!!!! I want to know HTF you spend 70k and still have a Mountney steering wheel In my Hybrid I once came to a slightly abrupt stop catching the front axle on a treestump. I managed to punch the dashboard, without letting go of the Mountney... never again 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early90 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I am selling my 90 so decided to look on auto trader to get a feel for the market, this is the first vehicle to show in a search within 25 miles radius. I am amazed at the skill of the builder, you guys wont believe it but that is a 1975 series 3, stunning job! looks exactly like a Defender now! All parts inter changeable you know. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201605013519972?make=land_rover&price-from=3000&quicksearch=true&onesearchad=new%2Cnearlynew%2Cused&price-to=3500&sort=default&postcode=sl98jq&radius=25&page=1&search-target=usedcars&model=defender_90&logcode=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy50 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Can't tell if it's on leafs but I'm guessing not ,looks suspiciously like a 90 chassis but surely no one would do that and not declare it ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Picture number 6 shows the rear of the chassis has a sweeping curve which means it's a 90 chassis as a series 3 has straight chassis rails at the rear doesn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The question of how many accessories it's physically possible to attach to a Defender has been answered once and for all - yours for a mere £20k. Gaze upon it in awe: "Custom Built and Unique" I suspect if you unbolted everything the truck would just crumble to dust I see one bidder apparently did get it for 20,000. Maybe it is a good thing that Defender production is no more, if this is what people are doing to them. In all my years of Land-Rovering, this is about the worst thing I've ever seen.

I agree, while I know its all up to the individual to do what he wants with it its certainly a nonsensical build to me. Over on D2 forum they seemed somewhat impressed and what made me laugh is he hadn't done any of it himself but 'had a man do it for him' It would be funny to leave that parked in a busy place with all those bags glued to the side :-) but at least you could watch it later on the massive flat screen telly on the inside of the back door. nah not my cup of tea.

I have noticed more and more Kahn ,Twisted etc etc badged 90's and 110's around the area these last 12 months but it's all good ,when they go out of fashion there will be plenty of high spec motors going cheap ,especially when Land Rover start building em in India "due to demand " .

This! Low spec and a healthy enthusiast (or would be) based audience for a vehicle that would cost less than half to produce elsewhere, use an "agent" to import low volumes and watch them get snapped up for big money, think of the first 200Tdi defender comfort and spec to get an idea of what is to come. Unbelievable that lockers etc were over looked, but then it's all about looks nothing to do with going off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Judging by some of the stuff that gets drooled over elsewhere looks are solely what a lot of people are concerned with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Judging by some of the stuff that gets drooled over elsewhere looks are solely what a lot of people are concerned with. Function over form, I like things to be aesthetically pleasing of course, but then again my preference is ability, I drool over locking diffs, HD half shafts, portal axles etc, but I do more than bump the curb on the school run.

miketomcat Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The irony is if it was an early 110 as it appears to be it would be worth the money and a nice original looking truck to boot. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
