It does make one wonder just how good the base vehicles actually are especially if as old as 2012, I dont think they are fully stripped maybe just the bulkhead? How much hidden corrosion already exists in a ten year old vehicle?

looks like they sprayed over that embossed logo at the starboard side back. Why not make that contrasting black?

Maybe it justifies the price: special.

A pre-owned vehicle at least seven years old with an unspecified number of previous owners and unknown mileage which cost c.£25k new, and it is now £245k. Rolling with laughter

There's an old saying about fools and their money.

Agree
I recently bought a 2009 110 and the chassis bulkhead etc. are a disgrace... rusted to hell and wasn't on UK roads either....I've had 300tdis in better nick Shocked

Early Pumas seem to be doing well overall . I think as soon as JLR decided they won’t be continuing the Defender circa 2014. The paint and corrosion etc has been known to be the worse on the later/last Pumas.. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

I've just seen this in Classic Land Rover magazine - pricey, undoubtedly, but the colour is fantastic!

At 405HP, isn't that down on the original works edition, which I thought, maybe mistakenly, was fitted with the same V8 as in the "new"/current Defender?

No, same engine as the 70th Edition, it’s the 5L V8 without the Supercharger.

Ah right, thank you,.... the supercharger would make a BIG difference, so the original "Work's Edition" has a bit of an advantage!.....I think 526HP!
Not that I could ever afford one, at 230,000 pounds, that would equate to well over $600,000 after duties & other charges. A new V8 90 Defender, called a P525 in Aussie costs $230,000 + registration, stamp duty, etc. (around $270K "driveaway")
