'97 Defender 110 2.8 pickup. Imported from South Africa (SA) last year. Very very rare 2.8L BMW powered Defender! I purchased this Defender from SA Land Rover Hub in Pretoria. They repainted it, put in new carpet, put in new upholstery, replaced the body and door seals, replaced the shock absorbers, replaced the brake pads and rotors, and did a few other miscellaneous repairs. Since I imported it, I've done the following:
-- new front and rear driveshafts
-- new rear wheel bearings and stub axles
-- Slickshift short shifter upgrade
-- Rovers North digital speedo in MPH
-- new throttle cable
-- new throttle body
-- new alternator, drive belts, belt tensioner, and idler pulley
-- new fanclutch and fan
-- new brake master cylinder
-- new bluetooth stereo and speakers
-- new style upgraded door locks, new handles, new keys, and new ignition switch
-- new valve cover gasket
-- new spark plugs
-- new filters and fluids
-- new rear diff ring and pinion, new Detroit locker rear differential, new bearings and seals in rear diff, HD read diff cover
-- new WIPAC LED headlamps, driving lamps, turn signals, parking lights, and brake lights
-- new battery
-- USB charging and USB connection to stereo
-- new genuine LR front and rear floormats
This Rover really doesn't need anything and runs and drives like a new vehicle. It constantly turns heads everywhere I drive it. Has a clean US Florida title.
