Description for Land Rover Defender 1980

1988 Land Rover Defender 90 panel back. (Not 1980 as in the specs, ue to EBay not recognizing the VIN)



Recently imported from the UK. VIN:SALLDVAB7EA317665 Supplied with clean VA title

Starts and drives well. The (19J) 2.5TD engine is slightly smokey when first starts but clears quickly and runs smoothly.Gearbox is tight, hifts correctly with no crunching.

 Overall good condition, he chassis is pretty solid some signs it has had repairs to chassis and bulk head tops in the past. The bodywork is solid but has some oxidation on the lower panels and door bottoms. Door bottoms will need doing at some point as will the foot wells.

Both latch mechanisms has been replaced with new BrtiPart unitsbut the passenger door lock does not work.


Interior is sound, recently replaced the seat bases and the drivers seat back. Centre jump seat back has a ripacross the top. No seats in the rear but is panelled out.

Really decent truck, deally needs some cosmetic bits and bobs to make really nice, ut mechanically its really sound.


Overall in great usable condition, have been driving it daily for the last month here and for about 6 months on and off in the UK and have been totally happy with it.

Recent new glow plugs have been fitted and full coolant flush


Note: this is a 28 year old truck in original condition, odown expect an showroom vehicle. There are marks on the paintwork and it could do with some light restoration in the future.


Comes with Clean VA title.
