I’ve decided that I am going to sell my Defender, which is stupid because I have just got it to where I wanted it to be and done so many improvements. But hey, someone else can enjoy the spoils of my labour and take on a sorted and stunning vehicle. (I’m getting married and need to use the money in other ways.) I never thought I would be selling this one so soon, but sometimes your life changes and you have to make sacrifices.I always knew it was a possibility and fun while it lasted!

This is one unique and stunning Defender, a real head turner and one that seems to invite random people to come and talk to me about it, which is a big compliment I suppose.

I am happy to supply VIN details, Reg plate etc for those who are serious and want to do their own checks. There’s lots of pics to compliment the work I have done on my build thread, more can be supplied.

A truly pampered Defender:
Those who know me from the DEF2, RRS or FFRR forums will know I am a stickler for detail, I never bodge anything and my work is to a very high standard. I am very OCD. Paintwork is never washed by a car wash, local Albanians or guys in Tesco car park etc, just me, using the three bucket method and lambswool mitts. All bodywork is clayed and then treated to my OCD level of a machine Paint clean, polish and wax. Alloys had three coats of Porboys Wheel sealant from new. All glasswork is Rain-X’d. Every time it was taken on the shoot it was pressure washed off and cleaned, no mud has ever been left on the chassis. All metalwork, hinges, bolts etc are treated with ACF-50.

So gorgeous, Adam. Stunning work. In case anyone reading this is considering a purchase I can testify that all your kit is always top notch and highest possible standard.

Good luck with the sale, I've checked down the sofa and if I weren't trying to buy my ex out of the house I'd have this in a heartbeat!

Cheers
