youve gotta be mad to spend much money on a late defender, i can understand buying a nice clean older one for 5k perhaps but no more. I was after a new offroader (tree surgeon) to replace my old hilux, long story 17k spent on a swb defender, main agent, leaky roof, door locks falling out, noisey diff, the list goes on and on, main agent proposed the leaks were fixed with sealant (read bathroom sealant)…do they look nice…yeah they do, they are cool, but they are so homemade that there isnt really any justifiable reason to buy one compared to the jap stuff thats about, even comparing off road ability…
