I’ve owned a series iia a series iii and 2 defenders. Cracking cars. I love them but they are FAR to expensive.
Fun fact. My series 3 I found in a field. It had all the doors open and was used by the farmer to cart pig feed around. It had an 8 inch branch growing through it and hadn’t moved since the early 90s.
I asked the farmer if he wanted to sell it and he said if I get it going and remove it I could have it for £50.
I filled the fuel filter up with diesel and turned the engine over by hand a few times. Pinched the battery off my wifes car and took a foot pump to blow up the tyres.
It spun over 3 times and immediately started. I got it home with zero drama. Jet washed the INSIDE of it and out some seat cushions out of a transit van I had kicking around.
I took it for an MOT test and the tester failed it on handbrake effort too low. It took 2 mins to fix and he retested it there and then and passed it. I kept it 3 years. It never once let me down. Sold it for £1200 awesome
I love the Defenders, pretty much my favourite car. I’d love to own am old one along with a VW campervan. I do like the look of the new ones too though, they’ve kept what made the looks of the original.
So this is the wife’s newest ride. Picked it up last Friday. In a homage to @Troll, we decided to get a Volvo. Let us hope she has better luck with it than her husband has had with other Swedish-produced vehicles.
For the illustrious Mudespike Board of Governors, maybe a What We are Driving (that doesn’t intentionally fly) thread?
Awesome ride!
The XC40?
Had a XC40 rental two weeks this summer. Loved it!
It is an XC90. She wanted more power.
I’m looking at getting an XC40 T5…or an HP Reverb…decisions, decisions …
Nice! I almost picked up a V60 AWD a couple of months back that was a steal of a deal (though I REALLY wanted a Polestar).
Just dont get the one with canards fitted or you will never be able to park it…
Ooooh…!
