Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is my 1986 ex military land rover defender for sale. VIN# SALLDHAC7BA249554 So I know what you're thinking, "bought cheap and trying to sell expensive"; actually no....this truck was a keeper for me since I bought in 2012 and so I have put in a lot of money already into it. But unfortunately now I have to sell it. Work I have done to it is adding a new muffler system, undercoating the already strong chassis with POR15, adding a working snorkel, changing door rubbers and windshield rubbers, adding power steering to it, adding new wheel spacers to accommodate the discovery wheels (military wheels still available), Upgrading the seats from standard military to exmoor trim seats. Big jobs includes upgrading the 2.5NA to a 200TDI engine- new head gasket, new valve seals, new exhaust gasket, new glow plugs, new fuel rail, new timing belt, new crank and camshaft seals and last on engine was a new waterpump. Overall I have spent around $17000 total. I would like to get back at least close to that but with NO RESERVE I know it's a risk. I recently added a hard top so now you can be top off in the summer and hardtop on in the winter-pictures of hard top coming soon. I also added an auxiliary fan to help cool the engine in those hot summer days. So just by looking at my truck you cannot know about all the work that went into it but you can certainly appreciate it. So all and all if you compare my defender to other defender for sale, most of the hard work has already been done. So if you are looking for a land rover defender, please consider my truck....Thanks If you have 10 feedbacks or less, and you are interested in this vehicle for purchase, please contact me before bidding....thanks This vehicle is for sale locally in Queens New YorkOn Feb-06-14 at 13:43:14 PST, seller added the following information: Here is a link to a short video of the engine running.
