For that money I expect to find properly set up fuel injection under the bonnet, though, not a carb. Then again, at that price I'm definitely not the target market...

FridgeFreezer 2,071 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I blame @TSD for sending me this... if it wasn't 14k I'd be tempted although it does need an adult to look over some of the "engineering" that has occurred; https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202011146114887?modal=description Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ozzy50 82 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 A claimed 65k build ? To build that monstrosity 🤢, it’s simply awful. I’ve seen it before , not sure if it was an article or a previous for sale ad , whichever it’s still a hideous thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ozzy50 82 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My favourite piece of “engineering” is the B+Q gate hinges holding the fuel tank in place , that will account for at least £10 of the 65 grand build cost 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paime 84 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I'd love to find out how much these apparently overpriced Defenders actually sell for on ebay. There are plenty of high mileage 300tdis and td5s on for £15k+, some with galv bits and others without. Advertising at that price and selling at that price are two very different things though!
