NOW SOLD AT A LOCAL GARAGE
  
Having dithered and debated, then dithered some more, she is now "actually" for sale 
Price is now reduced , and I have literally pulled my own pants down but being in the process of moving house , and lots on my plate , something has to give and it's the Defender that lost.
So this is the specifics, Puma 90 HT , 2011 42200 miles. Fresh MoT in September. To avoid confusion, the price is £20,000 , 12500 plus vat , = 15k , the other £5000 buys you 12k worth of bits already fitted. (see bottom of the ad for better description) Absolutely no offers please , standard vehicles in worse condition than mine sell at around £17,000 never mind ones with nigh on £12,000 worth of bits fitted and the 90 in superb condition. There is LR finance on the vehicle which will be paid in the buyers presence or the buyer can pay them direct whilst I am present. Recently had a £350 , full fluids and filter service, engine oil/filter, fuel filter, diffs, transfer box, gearbox, brake fluid, clutch fluid. It has factory alarm, remote central locking, electric windows,which apparently is referred to as the convenience pack? Full headlining, radio CD player , alpine windows and windows either side of the rear door, which I have seen some models without these fitted. I am now selling my 90 HT, 2011 , Armstrong Massey supplied 1 year ago, 42200 miles on her, (I bought her with 38,500 on approx , in 2014.) The vehicle has been used , pretty much only for dog walking and shooting, and as I cycle to work, it gets used very little, only around 200 miles a month. I spent , as I always do on my vehicles, and many others do also, a large amount of time and money making it mine, and personalising to suit my preferences/requirements. I don't know, nor want to think about how many hours I have spent, sweating , swearing, freezing etc, whilst fitting parts , or cleaning and protecting things. The paint is immaculate, the chassis superb, waxoyled by landrover, and then again, properly by myself ( not in the door skins or internally, but anything externally, chassis etc and all visible metalwork) Rear crossmember is excellent, more or less unmarked. All the parts listed below have been bought within the last year, the majority in the last 6 months, and some in the last few weeks. My options are/were.... Strip everything off it, and return it back to standard,sell a standard vehicle and sell all the parts individually? The above is a huge ballache, and has a large negative as it involves spending more time, reversing everything, then selling , and posting whilst losing money on every part sold ( and yes, I know you never get back what you put in) Or do I ... Sell it as it is, hoping to find someone who wants a vehicle just like mine, and has similar, tastes/requirements as me,which then saves them the time and money, not only sourcing and buying the parts, but also fitting it all. Things could be removed, if really not required, then the price modified, but this could get a bit complex and messy, but doable all the same. Many parts have been colour coded, or modified, as I like to do my own thing so to speak, and every metal to metal contact surface that has been added, has been sepreated by neoprene/foam gaskets, to avoid rubbing or paint damage. She has also had many coats of polish over the year, and underneath is all black waxoyled. So I have decided the way forward is to sell as she stands, ( I have a plan B if needs must, but plan A ( this one is my preferred route)
Price wise, hmmmmm good one  having totted up the parts I have fitted, and other spends very recently ,they come to around £12000
On average, on e bay, and Autotrader, a similar age, and quite often higher mileage, standard 90HT ( most without Alpines and rear tub Windows seem to go for around 14-15K plus vat, so even averaged out , say 17k all in, bearing in mind the parts fitted to mine, and condition, the price I am asking is £20,000 and not a penny less, so please no attempts at pulling my pants down  I have my belt tight, and my braces short 
Based just outside York. A list of additions as follows.... BRAND NEW, A FEW hundred miles ago, full Alive Tuning! Turbo back,full stainless system, with cat delete, and centre box delete. Barely any noticeable noise difference inside, but sounds lovely outside, this was £850 fitted. She is now ripe for a remap, and uprated IC. Also a Startech steering wheel and boss from Brendan ( Leeds ) , arguably the nicest wheel for a defender on the market. Again as new done only a few hundred miles. 19 th November 2015 , new AP driveline clutch fitted with release bearing. Transfer case separated from gearbox to check spline condition. Splines were fine, no lash , so greased up and refitted, new transfer fluid again also. £500 Lighting ... Nolden , smoked chrome, full led headlights, with black powdered s/steel bezels. Wilderness lighting, dual row, 20" 11,800 lumen light bar mounted inset into the grill. Clear indicators, side repeaters , with Led Bulbs. NAS , stop/tail full led, from Mud UK . Scenelite rear mounted work/reversing light .(Rear Scenelite is switched from either the cabin, for reversing , or at the rear door for working /loading etc, direct from the battery so no need for ignition to be on. ) Rigid H2 Dually spots .( these I will remove as they are set to go on something else) Led bulbs fitted to the interior lights. RDX led light adjustable relay. Parrot Handsfree kit. Wheels/Tyres... Twisted performance, 0 offset , 16" wheels x 5 with centre caps, and Twisted black wheel nuts and Locking nuts on all 5 of them. Goodyear Duratrac 265/75/16" tyres x 5 all have covered no more than 1500 miles. ( the spare was a used tyre, bought solely to hang on the back door for visual match ) Protection... Rock / Tree sliders, partially. Colour coded to body colour, with rubber seal to body. Entreq Stainless steel front flap extenders, with modified flaps to give better coverage. Modified rear flaps, to give extended coverage for wider tyres. Dirt D fenders front and rear, colour coded to body colour, and modified to fit tree sliders. Safari Equipment steering guard, with in built 2" receiver , galvanised. Genuine LR rubber A Bar , unmarked. Lri seat box corner protectors. Glyn Lewis rear crossmember arch liner extension covers and front chassis platform ( not sure of the correct term ) protectors to avoid crud and crap getting trapped in nooks and crannies. First Four Zinc plated/black powder coated HD front bumper ordered, as the new landrover one fitted at purchase is already rusty due to the pathetic excuse for paint they put on them Shocked . ( just fitted in September. ) Other bits... Nakatanenga stainless single pivot spare wheel carrier, black powder coated. Safety Devices expedition rack, with rear ladder. Defendor fuel filler recess cover, colour coded. Defendor snow cowl, colour coded. Full Nakatenenga stainless steel bolt kit Nakatenenga stainless steel door entry trims, all three doors. Mud stuff rear loadspace side panel trims, in black. Genuine LR rubber matt set, front and also loadspace. Brand new / Take off, LR full leather steering wheel. Inca fully waterproof seat covers. KBX headlight surrounds in body colour, KBX grill in satin black. KBX intake grill , with centre "mesh" in body colour. LR tow bar, with Dixon Bate drop pin hitch/ball 10mm rubber Spring isolators all round , top and bottom, effectively gives a 20mm lift, whilst also isolating noise, road buzz to a degree. Mud stuff cargo net in the rear door and also the Mud stuff seat risers in the drivers seat. Genuine LR RAI , mounted at the top via a stainless bracket to the roof rack rather than drilling the A pillar. Storage.... Mobile storage solutions (MSS) loadspace Tchest, full carpet lined and with gas strut. MSS loadspace drawer set, both the systems add masses of storage options, all completely secure and lockable, but still leave the loadspace totally useable for moving stuff around or for dogs. Genuine LR bulkhead dog barrier. LR leather cubby box, with self sorted extended depth armrest for better armrest comfort. Wolverine 240v sump pan heater, which connects to wander lead, and plugs into your garage/house wall socket and can be connected to a timer, or one of the fancy App controlled plugs for heating in advance of you getting up to use it. Not shown in the pics, I have also fitted a Disco 1 handbrake, next to the drivers seat, between it, and the cubby box, so it is now actually useable, as opposed to the feeble excuse it came with from the factory. There is also no doubt some parts I have forgotten , or overlooked!, The Registration plate is NOT Included in the sale, it will revert to its 11 plate. It has one previous owner before me, and was bought through my company so will be plus Vat , it's going to be slightly complex on the pricing as I will have to value the vehicle in standard form as X amount + vat , which I will then pay the vat back on, then the balance will effectively be for the add ons, as I bought them with my money, paid vat on them, but haven't claimed it back. Either way, there will be a total end result singular price, but it will split in to two figures and invoiced accordingly if that makes sense.

Fastened using the two lower captives already in the A bar feet, then drilled through the bumper , treated the holes, then separated the bumper / A bar contact points with neoprene and bolted through with stainless fittings. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I left the light bar mounted into the grill , and with the A bar on its looks better than with the black KBX one that was fitted before. It also makes stealing the light bar much harder as it is fitted under the grill and the A bar.

I haven't seen this vehicle, but Windowlicker had THE cleanest Mitsi Evo I've ever seen back when we were both in the Evo owners. The man is fastidious and careful with his cars. I have no connection to him or this sale other than to say I'm confident you would probably struggle to find a cleaner vehicle

Hi OMG ,
Thanks yours has been a source of much perusal over the last year or so 
The brackets I made myself as I couldn't beat the though of fitting the garbage ones that LR supply to my new FF bumper. Just some 2.5 stainless I had which I cut drilled and bent to make the brackets. Cheeky bump before I lose the patience battle and pull it to bits and revert to nearly standard.

What a stunning Defender. I spent 45mins on the phone with Nick hearing about the sweat, blood and effort that's gone into making this vehicle. Given the excessive premiums on Defenders in the trade, this is an absolute bargain. I just wish it was green.
Good luck with the sale. Jeremy |

Windowlicker, You have a beautiful Defender with some really quality mods, fitted by an owner who obviously knows what He's doing.
So, with no new ones available now, which is going to help your cause, just be patient, because IMHO the first GENUINE buyer will snap it up. Pickles. |

Jeremy,
Thanks very much, but due to a house move, currently running two houses, and another car on the way for swmbo , something has to give , and the Defender just doesn't justify its existence at the mo, and with our middle son now driving and owning a vehicle, the musical cars scenario is getting a little tedious when people want to simply leave the house. I would love for a forum member and enthusiast to reap the benefits of my spends, but it may be a case of just stripping it and moving on to anyone so to speak. Hope you find the Tonga toy, it's out there waiting for you to find it
Ibexman, the sliders were bought from e bay, not expensive in the overall scheme of things , around £190 I think. I then got the box sections painted in body colour as it ties the doors bottoms and quarter panels in visually, mimicking the original sills , as with them black I think it looks odd the way the bottom of the panels just stops meeting all black sliders. Pickles, Thanks for the comments, I do detest selling vehicles as I always wonder if it really is I have described, then when someone comes to view and they are beaming from ear to ear , and genuinely surprised at how it is presented , that feeling subsides , but I always end up stressing unnecessarily
Hopefully someone will "find " the vehicle , otherwise there will be lengthy list of parts for sale
Thanks all. Nick. "Procrastination is the thief of time" |

If you have time, could you just extend it 20 inches and then I'd buy it

I can stick a bike rack on the back, that should make up the difference I reckon
