2004 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Santorini Black

Not much happening with the One Ten at the mo. It’s off for an MOT at the end of the month, so fingers crossed.

I found another photograph of it the other day, which explains why both doors have a small hole at the bottom of each skin. See if you can figure it out.

I imagine that it is to secure (what have become) the lower part of the door tops when they are flipped like that.

Indeed! There would have been something like a buffer there to hold them securely. Charlie

What a stunning V8.

Perfect colour, perfect engine and I really like it with the canvas cover over the bed.

Love it. The steels suit that perfectly. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

Thanks, Clayton!

I’m going through the process of getting it back to how Tom had it in the ‘80s. The roof came off last weekend!

They’re great hoops. They don’t come with nuts for the seatbelt top bolts, which seems a bit of an oversight. Charlie

Short of the bonnet mounted spare carrier, the One Ten is back to factory spec!
