The highest mileage Defender in the UK is a Puma, although impossible to tell what has been replaced thus far or if it's the original engine!

One thing to check is that the alternator has the superseded smaller pulley to increase alternator RPM https://www.lrworkshop.com/parts/STC3202
The aftermarket alternator I bought had the larger pu ... |

I would definitely take the time and effort to fly, see and drive a prospective purchase in person before it gets shipped. No two Defenders drive the same.
This year I bought a Defender overseas un ... |

Just realised yours is the red 90 from the other thread that you bought recently.

It's possible as Y reg ran til 31 Aug 2001 and the first pre-producton 2002 models came out in Feb 2001, yet there's only 15 of them.
Best to check the actual engine number? If its 15P0xxxxA then ... |

No! This was a bit of a one-off as I've been told there were only 10 Defenders in the whole country. I had an opportunity and just went for it. Ha ... |
