1980 Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender (1980)
for sale

Price: US $9,900.00

Description:

For sale is my 1984 Land Rover Defender 90. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for this vehicle is SALLDVAD7AA281708. This vehicle is listed as a 1980 model due to the VIN not being in the eBay database but is a 1984 model.
This Rover has been registered and titled in Georgia by myself since 2012. It is fitted with an smoother running and more powerful 200 TDi 4 cylinder turbocharged diesel engine which can cruise comfortably at 70+ mph while achieving over 25 mpg. Many similar Defenders have retained their original 2.5 naturally aspirated or 2.5 (19J) turbocharged diesel that are less powerful, often struggling to achieve even 60 mph. The TDi conversion, which can cost upwards of $5, 000, is a significant upgrade in terms of power, drivability and reliability. The Rover is fitted with Old Man Emu (OME) shocks and springs, providing a 2 lift over stock, and 33 mud terrain tires, along with heavy duty steering arms and a front differential guard. Disc brakes have replaced the original drum brakes on the rear axle, giving it the excellent stopping power of 4 wheel disc brakes. The frame is in solid condition with a new rear cross-member installed prior to my purchase. The foot wells have been patched but are solid along with the front bulkhead. It is a very mechanically sound vehicle that would be an excellent candidate for a refresh or as a dedicated camping/fishing/hunting vehicle, which I primarily used it for. Photographs show the exterior and interior along with detailed photos of the rear cross-member, bulkhead, foot wells and bulkhead.

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“This Rover is a mostly original vehicle imported from the United Kingdom. The frame is in solid shape with new rear cross-member installed prior to my purchase. The foot wells have been patched but are solid along with the front bulkhead. It has a typical British resprayed paint job which is imperfect - some may call it patina. The weakest area for paint is the hood, which shows cracks. It was my camping vehicle and has several scrapes, dings and dents as a result. The doors will require some rust repair at the bottom but are the newer style with roll-up windows. The speedometer and odometer have been non-functioning since early 2013. I would estimate less than 15,000 miles have been put on it since that time.”
