I have a 1994 defender 300Tdi and am looking to replace this with aprox 2002 facelift model TD5. Looked at a Black limited edition yesterday wow could not beleive the corrosion this vehicle had details like the screws/bolts for the doors roll bar etc all red with rust,rear crossmember looked rusty as well as running boards and NAS bar all rusty and body seems showing signs as well!
Car started life in Scotland and my did it show my 1994 is not as rusty.
Dealer description was "excellent condition"!!!!! I did a 240ml trip to view vehicle for about 90 secs...........
