It is a 1984 not a 1980 Ebay doesn't recognize the vin I bought this defender from Wales on 3/19 of this year, I did all of my research to make sure it is 100 percent legal before I Imported it. On 4/22/2014 it landed at the port of Brunswick Georgia. The Land Rover Cleared customs in two day! The vehicle has had a mild restoration that is 98 percent complete. When I received it, it was nice but not perfect so I set out trying to make a 1984 defender perfect. All the bushing in the suspension are new, the brake lines and wheel cylinders are new, the steering box is rebuilt, radiator has been clean and pressure tested all hoses are new. Fuel sending unit is new, Diesel injectors and glow plugs are new, V belts are new, the engine has been out and head the cylinder head checked and new seals put in and all new gaskets the truck doesn't leak any oil! I have the receipts for this which you can verify! The Land Rover was painted recently before it shipped from the UK and looks good! The bulkhead has had some repairs but are sound and there are no known rust issues with it now see pictures. This defender drives better than a 97 defender does. The odometer show 64000 miles I have no way of knowing if that is correct. The defender smokes on startup when cold, it needs rear brakes it has Chinese drums on the rear but I am including brand new brake shoes with it. The battery light sometimes comes on as it is on now but it runs and starts fine even with the lights on. There is some bubbling on the rear door see picture. The gas cap leaks when full. The passenger side window you have to help it to roll up. The vehicle is registered in my name in Georgia and will come with a certified bill of sale and the tag receipt so you can register it and get a title outside of Georgia. Georgia will not issue a title on a pre 1986 vehicle. Georgia collect all my customs papers when I registered it I can get a copy of if you need it. This is a really nice truck the truck also comes with some more spare parts and the third seat for the front as well it has Britt part center console in it now. The only reason I am selling is I am buying a new house. If any questions call me Brian Brown 1-423-595-6831. ebay will not recognize the vin it is SALLDVAC7AA216119
