Thanks, I really am a lucky guy. It's good because i've got mates with defenders and one who has just had a galvanized chassis put on his!

Thanks, yeah, she's pretty good considering how little I paid for it. There are bits and pieces that need doing to it but mechanically it's sound, the chassis has no rot as well

Went and bought a new out rigger and drivers foot well, once these are welded in there will be no rot

Also you can see the steering guard plate, it's been sanded down and polished

Bought a 2 inch Terrafirma lift kit and tubular shock turrets. Can't wait to get it installed on the land rover.

Glad I can share it with you, i suppose the only ones you get in the US are imports so they must be rare over there. Thank you, yeah the wrap around windows are standard on the pick up, makes maneuvering easy haha!! It's a 2000 reg mate

Thanks to draconian safety regulations, importation of Defenders stopped in 1997. So the price of a clean, low-mileage example has gone through the roof here. I can only imagine what some Defender fanatic would pay for a half-cab version. As a matter of fact, there's a bunch of Landy owners here in the States that are getting their Defenders taken away from them because they weren't properly imported. And they'll most likely end up going to the crusher. So sad...
