Blatant plea: buy my 1994 Defender 110

but you said I couldn't have it to put a tranny body on...

anyway, no money ATM...

I've changed my mind, sad to say that since the last off-road outing in the pinz, where it was stupendous, I've lost all interest in the

110. As long as someone will pay me they can do what they want with it! I've hardly even looked at it in weeks, it's got cobwebs on the wheels and between the chassis and ground.

I still reckon I'd rather have a series 1 80" than a haflinger though, although the haflinger would actually be practical for many of the trips I do, returning 35 MPG or so and doing 45 MPH. On these roads that's just fine. The series 1 though is just too cute to dismiss. The halflinger is cheaper and better off-road (according to those who have both) but I've never driven one so haven't yet fallen in love!

Ditto, hence selling the 110 ;-)

remind the of the spec... I'd still rather like to have the 110 V8 auto that I assembled a bit back for this project, but a good TDi makes more sense, really.

Here's the blurb from the web site;

164,141 miles, Nov 2006 MOT. It's had a few upgrades and important parts replaced, including a recon gearbox, transfer box and a Jeremy Fearns intercooler. The driver and passenger doors are functional but need replacing, passenger window no longer winds down. Workshop manuals, tow bar and electrics (not fitted), box of random spare parts, 2x spare tyres. Recon gearbox and transfer box. Fearns intercooler upgrade. Rebuilt steering. Rebuilt front brakes. Cam belt change less than 2,000 miles ago. 24,000 mile service less than 2,000 miles ago. Lots of work done to keep it in good mechanical shape. Engine in particularly fine fettle, very sweet, uses no oil at all between services. Immobiliser. Strong, lockable cubby box. Taxed until Sep 2006. Has a few dents and scrapes, largest on left wing. Please contact me for viewing, questions or more pics. Price 5,000 ono.

hmmm. I doubt I can raise that much, not this year anyway, although it'd eb a good vehicle to use for the purpose, mechanically sound but non-perfect body.
