great work on your defender. you make me miss my 300 which was a constant rolling fettling hobby. miss it now i have the Puma. makes me want to buy an old defender and restore it but head rules and at the moment i don't have the spare time. so keep up the good work and i will watch progress with envy Thumbs Up BM52

Sold I am afraid, I was not getting the use out of it, as well as having too many other things on the go, something had to go, in fact its all going, the 90 went about 2 months ago, my track car trailer is for sale, I have just sold one of my mins, and the other will be sold shortly, (hopefully).

I just dont have time to play in the garage Sad

Maybe my next family estate will have a green oval on it, maybe a 110 of a disco 3 You cant polish a turd!
