The exterior has some bumps and bruises. Treating it to a good wax job would probably restore the shine to the paint, or you can keep it as is with its rugged good looks. The fuel gauge doesn't function so keep the jerry can full! Also like any land rover make sure the fluid levels are topped off!
Underbody and frame are very clean with no rust! Truck is very solid!
The Land Rover is fairly priced given all of the mechanical enhancements and accessories that is has. Please take a look at the pictures and don't hesitate to ask any questions. The Land Rover is located in Arlington VA
