MOTODROME
please note: viewings strictly by prior appointment only
motodrome are pleased to offer this 1997/R Land Rover Defender 90 300TDi Hardtop,  finished in Blue  with white roof
 
This one has had just 4 previous owners from new, including just 2 since 2004.
 
It has power steering, a matching set of Pirelli Scorpion tyres on grey modular rims, galvanised rock/tree sliders, snorkel and raised breathers, front lamp guards, chequerplate wingtops and rear quarters, and towpack. Mechanically, it’s fitted with Allard full-width intercooler (giving it a bit more pep over standard) and silicon hoses.
 
Inside it has easyclean interior with waterproof seat covers
 
Odometer reading 164000 miles, with a sheaf of history, and old MOT’s back to 2001. The rear crossmember was professionally replaced in 2013 at 156K
 
Comes with MOT (no advisories) to April 2016 and 6 months warranty.
 
on test run on arrival it performed without apparent fault, and being a factory 300TDi it nips along well, with good punch from the turbo. 
 
Further detail:
The body and paintwork on this one look really quite smart, with no major dinks, (unusual as it has been used for gentle greenlaning)  and the paint is seemingly 90% original, except for the tailgate I think, the lower portion of which is black.   Both scuttle corners are excellent, as are both A posts, but there is A very small rust hole just above the nearside scuttle vent.  Both front door frames have some rust (especially the nearside one) towards the back of the frame, but both doors still close well and haven"t dropped - the frames still seem strong at the front, and neither is in imminent need of repair or replacement.  See video for more details. . Obviously expect small dents, little areas of paint loss, slightly wavy panels and minor imperfections etc - it"s still an older Landy after all that and blemishes give it character, but apart from the above, all I can really criticise is: some electrolytic reaction, especially around the tail end and under the headlights, lots of shallow hedge scratches (may polish out) down the sides, and a crack in the NSR eyebrow.   See video for full appraisal
 
 
Interior – standard easyclean, but fitted with waterproof seat covers - the drivers backrest has a small hole in the usual place, but otherwise all 3 seats seem fine and rip-free. There is a radio/CD fitted, but I can"t seem to turn it on, so there may not be any power getting to it.      . . . See video for full appraisal
 
 
 
 
Starts on the button and performed without apparent fault on  test run on arrival, and doesn"t display any signs of hesitancy or overheating, with good gearbox and steering , and absolutely minimal backlash in the transmission.   Nothing really to criticise .  See video for full appraisal
 
No advisories on last MOT.
