observations from a 58 year young engineer who does not require your funds to rob you.the price seems low...its not...its just not inflatedlike some..its the same vehicle...if not better than some of your advertised $20,000 usd vehicles advertised...i know this...as i probably supplied most of them in the past..
1. it does not photograph very well...minus 5 here in uk and horrid amp does not help.2. awaiting some fixings for the floors..do like to buy the proper things..so some floor not fitted in photos.3. seats...i will supply 2 or 3 used seats in nice condition..but as photos using the originals while it sits here.4. no corrosion in alloy-unlike uk vehicles including defenders...5. no chassis issues what so ever..no previous damage or repairs evident or required. one outrigger to rear is thin so i will brace it before sale..towbar is strong strong..can also supply the trailer light coupling to suit.6. would pull a much bigger wheel tyre ratio. these 5 bearing engines are nice and torquey for what they are..it would easily pull a wolf wheel and big tyre...or something tubeless and modern would give ride a hand..7. i have my own parabolic springs made for me by top old school engineers..matching set stuff..i can supply these as a kit with new U BOLTS and nuts.. either supply or fit as well...buyers choice..price doubles if fitted..worth the $800 usd supplied and fitted as they give a smoother controlled ride...smooth if your talking land rover..again buyers choice but i do know what i am talking about..8. nothing in uk is expensive (except canvas roof and fitting kits) for series land rover..so upgrading makes sense..9. if your going roro ferry boat...no parts are allowed to be stored in vehicle...however i have in the past made a false floor in the rear so it is part of the vehicle..so the floor can be loaded with parts..10. if going shared container..as long as one has a manifest of parts included with vehicle..their is no charge for extra shipping and one can load the land rover right up..spare wheels and tyres..anything.11. this will not be advertised again..i have just sold my other two santana over last 10 days and i am never without one.. so if this does sell...and by god it should at this value..i will be forced to buy another from my friend who will be forced to locate what i buy..which is low owner original vehicles..i dont mind..dents work or scruffy...i do mind....smarmy sellers-bondo and shiny resprays..
if its a station wagon you require. this is one. however..land rover are only nuts and bolts.so if you require a pick up- utility type-convertible-bikini top- canvas top ...just ask can help at cost..
