Agree with Jeremy - its been ruined as have many of them now by fitting LPG. I have been keeping my eye out for a nice 50th but I don't want one that has been 'messed with'. THe prices for some of them that have been 'bodged' is crazy as they only are worth the premium if they are still original (or easily returnable to original).
I have heard mixed reports about that dealer. Mainly that they are overpriced for the condition. |

Avoid that dealer like the plague..
fist hand experience. All vehicles have a pretty generic description for the chassis, cross member and bulkhead. Travelled 3 hours to view a "minter"..... 
I don't know how it ever passed the MOT....  ......never again
Clemmo Make today a little better than yesterday but not so good as tomorrow.... Defender 90 HT............Pangea Green BMW X3 Msport............Carbon Black Mini Electric................Grey. (wow!) MGB Roadster……..........Vermillion 17k miles Honda Benly CD200....Maroon --------McLouis Fusio........7.4m of fun |

Colour looks ok, but body colour grills aren't original and change the look slightly.
I really can't get over how awful that rai looks on it.  |

Remember Atlantis Blue is hard to photograph actuartley. I would guess its had paint work though, as said above the grills should be black and its missing the Defender badge from above the grill.
Not excited about this one |

I sold him a 90 a few years back with a rotten chassis. Told him this and that it would require a new chassis. 2 weeks later it was for sale with 1 years mot and no new chassis…advert saying chassis good etc. avoid at all costs

One of the remaining rear seats looks like a forward facing 'fold-up' too. But, that tank... what a eyesore...and why oh why colour code the headlight surrounds/grille ? For the sake of Ł40 ish they could of been replaced pre sale to make it look better, IMHO of course. Cheers,

Bit late for everyone to be saying that now, and I hope it wasn't yours that I bought (about 3 years ago)!  The chassis on mine (bought from him) had a patch on that looked ok but was actually so thin it was like tissue paper, so new chassis later its doing ok............ we live and learn! 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6
