It's going to be a user and so repaired and maitained rather than restored. That said I am undecided about the paintwork....paint it or love the patina?

I wont be offended if you dont answer but how much does one of these go for in todays market? I would keep the original paint as its timeless. |

Keep the patina but change the wheels!
Nice vehicle! |

Thanks all.
Prices for Series 3a seem to be as all over the place as Defender prices, but starting lower maybe and certainly not reaching the dizzying highs. I am coming down on the side of original paint as you only have it once! Not sure about the wheels, I have never been a fan of 8 spokes but actually don't mind them on this. The tyres need replacing though and I have 1 Defendet white steel rim with a new Avon Rangemaster on it....so finding 3 more of those is a possibility I am not ruling g out! |

I'd definitely get a set of proper rims and tyres on it. Looks remarkably unmolested otherwise. 2011 110 USW

Can't beat a good Series (or 2
 ).
Nice set of limestone steelies required I think! |

Very nice, if itโs original paint definitely keep it, if not it still looks good and yes ditch the wheels.

I like the offset of these wheels with 235-85 tyres they fill the arches nicely. I think defender rims may be greater offset than series rims but it will still be less than these. If they stay a coat of limestone is worth a thought though, 2 need painting anyway.
