2011 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 ST Santorini Black

New project

Click image to enlarge
Sold my V8 soft top earlier this year and needed something to entertain myself for the summer so I've bought this. She's a 2011 farm fresh 2.4, Santorini, svx wheels and genuine chequer plate. Suprisingly she has cold climate pack too which is an added bonus.
Externally she is quite clean with an immaculate chassis. She has a few dents but can hopefully get these sorted. The rear tub has been raptor sprayed - not entirely sure about it.
Internally she is not great, both seats and the matting will need replacing.
She is going for a health check tomorrow and hopefully getting a full service.
Going forward the plan is to convert to soft top together with full cage including windscreen hoop.

It looks great Jeremy. I like the colour & how brilliant it is after the clean. Good luck with the health check.

It looks great but I’m suprised you went for one with chequer plate

Trying to find a pick up that is reasonably good on the body and chassis is a struggle so the chequer plate is something I'll have to live with. As said by others who know I'm not a fan at least it is genuine and not the cheap stuff.
I did run the polisher over her last night and the flake pop in the paint is really smart.

Looks very tidy. Congratulations. Must have been owned by a particularly lazy farmer to be in such good nick.

Checked over at Parkside today. Remarkably clean underside. A new pair of rear shocks required and n/s swivel weeping a little. Managed to fit in oil and filter change too

To say it is cramped in the cab is an understatement. I'll never complain ever again about lack of room in the HT

Clayton, the vehicle did originate from down your way and I bought it from Somerset..

Progress to date, the hood and cage have been ordered with a 4 week lead time. This has given me the opportunity to sort a few jobs. Rear shocks have been replaced and brake calipers cleaned . New XS side steps fitted together with front mud flaps. Fitting the steps required removal of plastic trays for trimming. The trapped dirt was a proper rot trap.

I have also stripped out the interior for to clean the interior, new seat box matting and floor matting fitted.
