1985 Ex Mod 110 2 Door Soft Top on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:48467
Location:

This Land Rover Import is a standard European model Defender VIN SALLDHAC7BA249375 NOT an NAS.
This European spec, 2.5 na Diesel is NOT a gas guzzler V8, rather a fuel economic reliable fuel injection diesel. 

From the previous seller:  This is a well kept and well maintained Defender. Its an ex military so it was mechanically kept in great running order. It has no rust, has a clean rust free frame with normal wear. It shows no signs of salt road wear and likely never had any as it was in military use. We have meticulously gone through this vehicle from top to bottom and updated or replaced any necessary item. It was stripped down re primed and painted in a matte evergreen metallic. The paint job is good, from 1-10 it's an 8. We give it an 8 because we want to relay its not show quality but it is nice work. This vehicle had no galvanic corrosion and no rust on the bulk head. So the paint work was straight forward. The -2 points out of ten would be for; the military uses an excessive amount of NATO green paint, which requires a LOT! of sanding or stripping. We feel that around the vent hinges and rear bed tie downs, that the prep could have been more detailed. Aside from that it looks good.

I bought this truck a few weeks ago with the intent of dropping in a 200TDI, full cage and rear seats. I have got to many things going on right now to complete this project.
Heres what we've got:
1985 Ex Mod 110 with 2.5na diesel with 48,467 original miles registered and titled in NC.
New Paint(Evergreen. Cool color)
New Power Steering Box, Pump and hoses
New Rubber door seals
New Rubber vent seals
New Rubber windscreen seal
New Exmoor Black Canvas Top
New Heating System
New Shocks Front and Rear (2inch spacers on front)
New BFG 265s with freestyle rims with aluminum wheel spacers.
New Tuffy Console (not bolted in)
New full insulated matt system from Safari HP
New Plastic molded door cards (not installed)
New Paddock swing away spare tire carrier(not installed)
Truck is in great shape. No rust that I can find. Interior and bed have polycote bed liner applied.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests.
