Fantastic Razz you considered the Zulu?


Ahh the Zulu. 480hp of v8 goodness. The supercharged 4.2 Engines/gearboxes are becoming more affordable these days..

This is the only manual 90 Liberator that JE have built - none of their 'Super Defenders' come up for sale very often so I wasn't able to pick and choose, but to be honest this one is plenty quick enough !

Out of interest, did you hear about it because of your relationship with JE or was it for sale on the open market?

It was a customers car that we trimmed a couple of years ago and he put it up for sale on Pistonheads and then emailed me for a copy of our invoice (he'd lost his copy), when he told me he was selling I just couldn't resist Rolling Eyes Mr. Green

Luck to hear about it but more lucky that he held it for me for 6 weeks whilst I scraped together the ridiculous amount of money it took to buy Big Cry

The sound of a V8 should make any petrolhead happy. Thumbs Up

Brilliant - enjoy it!

Nice exhaust note. Is that bits of unburnt fuel I can see escaping now and then ?

How many HP are we listening to here? 1999 Defender TD5 110
