1994 - UK Land Rover Defender 110 (right hand drive!)
Description
Hello America, meet "Stella" (For all you Landy enthusiasts, you know Brits name their Defenders!)
I imported her from England a few weeks ago, upon my return from an assignment there.
If you don't know anything about these old gals, be advised - they rattle, clunk, are drafty, occasionally leak a bit, and are the coolest vehicle ever distributed around the world! Either you get it, or you don't.
She runs great, I just put 200 miles on her going to get the VIN inspected by the State of Florida. I also have all the import documentation.
As you can see from the photos, Stella has had a lot of work before her trek across the pond. The rear half of the frame is new, all the numbers match, lots of new suspension parts, new head gasket and upper half rebuild - the mechanic recommended NOT rebuilding the lower end, saying it has another 200k miles left in her. She has new rims and tires, lots of replaced material inside (plus a big speaker in the back), and comes with a lot of new spare parts I bought for the future. And more.....
Stella has a few issues:
The rear windows don't crank very well - thus I have 2 new window mechanisms and side track. The driver side rear door lock keeps coming off the lever - I plan to repair this with the new window mechanisms.
The rear axle leaks from the cover after some work was done - it needs a new gasket which I am about to order.
She does drip a slight bit of oil - like all stately ladies her age! The mechanic said to expect drips even if we rebuilt the whole engine! The lower driver door hinge is rusty. I have 8 new ones in the wrappers.
Beyond that, i also have a new clutch assembly, replacement brakes, 2 complete service packs (oil and air filters), 5 steel wheels that could be powder coated or painted, and some odds and ends spare parts.
I am 6 months from retirement, and would really like a new Corvette. If Stella doesn't find a nice new home where she will be loved and cared for, she will become the family Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville party machine!!! Please also don't be afraid of the right-hand drive, it's pretty easy to master. Thanks for reading, and happy bidding.
Greg
ps - I will deliver up to 100 miles from Punta Gorda FL, to make it easier.
The VIN is SALLDHMF7MA952568. E-bay is having a problem accepting it as valid.........
