1994 Defender 110 BMW M57 3.0 Diesel CSW Buckingham Blue

My old girl

Hi all, forum newbie here. Ive got a 94 110 300tdi csw, that we've owned for 18 years. End of last year was looking into getting a new defender, but couldn't find what I wanted for how much I wanted to spend, I was going to sell the old girl as she was getting used less and less since we bought our 02 110 dcpu, but thought to myself, why? why not give her a fresh look and bit of a refurb. that way I knew exactly what car I had and its history, and it was ideal for my lifestyle.
So I sent her off to a local firm, who we bought our dcpu off, they rebuilt the doors and gave her a new back door and then she was off to paint.
Heres what she looked like before paint.

We have a 96 110 300tdi csw that we have owned for 17 years

207,000 miles on the clock. Still a daily drive.

OK the doors leave a little bit to be desired. However chassis is solid and it passes the MOT with no problems.

Glad there is some one else with a long term ownership of a Defender.
