1991 Land Rover Defender 110 full restoration 200TDI w/air conditioning

Description

It is listed as a 1980 in the ITEM SPECIFICS because it won't recognize the VIN# if I put it in as a 1991. It is a 1991!!
This is a 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 with a 200TDI engine. It was completely rebuilt overseas about 18 months ago. Basically everything is brand new on it except for the frame (which is solid) and some of the glass, windshield wiper motor, etc.
I have been driving it on short trips and long trips (5 states on one journey) and it has never failed me. It is an awesome machine. You won't get any speeding tickets driving it but the mpg is great and EVERYONE wants to ask questions about it. You can get it going about 70-75 mph on the open highway but that is about the limit.
It was originally in Italy. Shipped to Amsterdam where it was stripped down and completely rebuilt (including the bulkhead). It is basically a new vehicle. It has about 3,265 miles on it. Legally registered and inspected in PA thru 11/18. The exterior lighting is all modern day LEDS. Super bright... better than a lot of brand new vehicles I have driven.

Some small problems that it has:
The speedometer doesn't work. It is stuck at 58 mph. It is easy to put in a new one and costs about $100 but I didn't want to do that because the ODOMETER still rolls and I wanted to give the next owner the true mileage. I still have the original speedometer that the vehicle had in it before it was rebuilt. I think it reads about 94,000 kilometers. 95% of that vehicle is now gone however.
The driver side window has a tendency to get stuck if you roll it all the way down and then want to bring it back up. I am sure it is an easy fix but I have just been living with it.
I will keep looking at things the next few days and see if there is anything else that I notice that isn't 100%.
