Land Rover Defender 127/130 (1980)
for sale

Price: US $38,000.00

Description:


This is my personally owned 1990 RHD 130 Defender I brought back to the States with me while I was living in the UK. 100% legally imported, has a clear Virginia title, original shipping documents, and a genuine British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate validating its authenticity. I bought the truck as a project vehicle, however I have to let it go.
VIN: SALLDHAB7FA391598
Repairs:
reconditioned fuel injector pump, performed by Peter May Restorations in Darley, North Yorkshire UK
steering box drop arm bushing replacement
The 130 is in good running order. Keep in mind this is a 26 year old vehicle, and it does show some sign of age in the usual bits these defenders show their age; rust on the floor panels, door bottoms. Some panels show dings, and the paint job performed on it could have been better. The engine starts in cold weather, and I drove a few 300 mile trips without issue.
A neat feature about this 130 that sets it apart from other offerings is that there was a partial station wagon conversion performed. Basically all that means is that the truck bed is covered with metal paneling instead of the typical canvas that covers the rear, and it has access via a rear safari door.
Has a heated windscreen installed, however, you will need to install the electronics to make it functional.
Full galvanized roof rack.
Chassis in in good shape. No visible holes, cracks. Was waxoyl'd while in the UK. Bulkhead is also in great condition not showing usual rot.
Truck must be viewed to be appreciated. If you come to view the vehicle, know you are viewing a vehicle that is no showroom truck...those trucks sell for more than $70, 000.
