Wiring and fitting for radio (radio cassette fitted, but cassette is broken!) Rear load liner Rear fold down step Heated rear window and wash/wipe Has what looks like the original handbook Non-standard wheels, not sure what they are called, but have seen them on a few LRs locally

75310 miles service
76624 miles cam belt changed
80177 miles service
84500 miles service
91523 miles service
96095 miles service
101507 miles service Has had a new clutch fitted at 115351 miles (by a specialist with a receipt to prove) Has had a new diesel tank at 116875 miles (by a specialist with a receipt to prove)

Condition is as you would expect for a Land Rover of this age really. The body work has a few small nicks and dents, but nothing that is out of character or which needs repair. It has the original "Defender 90" flashes on the doors and sides. There is a minimal amount of electrolyte corrosion on the bottom of the three doors. There is a small amount of corrosion on small areas of the body cappings.

The chassis and bulkhead are fine. The interior is pretty good, not A1, but certainly not an old farm truck! All lights work, except for the interior one (not the bulb at fault). Heater blows strongly and delivers hot air when it should!

It drives really well and I am not aware of any engine or drive problems HI/LO, Diff lock, brakes etc etc all work as they should.

I will put an MOT on it when it is sold as the current one only has a couple of months to run.

Available to view in Bristol area. Photos available if required. E-mail me if you wish to see them or if you require any more information. My mobile is 07962 149068 should you wish to speak to me about this Land Rover. I am looking for £4200, but not adverse to a "reasonable" offer!!

That could be very painful in a crash if its the only way I'm thinking of?????

Shouldn't be a problem. On my SIII I have the inertia reels on the rear bulkhead, and no door pillar mounted seatbelt runners - rather like the original RR setup. Very safe, and avoids having to mess about with seatbelts when taking the roof off. Can't see any reason why the middle couldn't be set up like that.

I guess it could. I was bothered about the lack of a top anchor point, but you could put one on the bulkhead I suppose. If new enough it already has the bottom mountings, for a lap belt.

Hi,

Exactly that. The top is fixed to the bulkhead, not the strongest arrangement, but better than nothing. The remaining two straps fix to the existing mounting points. I felt that this was a better option than a lap belt on it's own, even with the limitations of the bulkhead mounting. It was only used for my eldest, whose shoulders did not come up to the top of the seat!

Go on make me an offer!!

A matter of choice ultimatly.

I was in a crash once, where seatbelts notwithstanding the angle of the impact meant that I hit my head on the passenger door glass, not that my head had much in it to be harmed :)
