Had a message from a friend this week who found this old girl for sale on facebook! Thought it was a bit of me! So i went and had a look and bought it Turns out it was a customers relative

Its in a rare colour green (i believe its the 50th anniversary colour used on the 96 Defender 50'th) its a last of the line 'M' reg... If anyone knows anything about these cars, please let me know

Looks like a nice project - seems to be in reasonable condition from the photos

Forget the running gear, I want to see every inch of that interior triple stitched.

50th Defenders (in fact, all UK spec 50th models) were Atlantis Blue, which looked green. Can’t imagine LR would have painted an RRC in that colour 4 years before the 50th’s were launched

There's an excellent and long-running thread on PIstonheads, Craig, with several people who really know their stuff on these. Helped me out immensely when I had mine, and it's not populated with the usual argumentative types either. Recommended

Presume you've checked the usual spots for rot etc already? (There are lots!) 5.0 S/C Autobiography - now gone to pastures new....

Thanks cappo, could you forward me a link please? I’ve never seen a Classic in this colour so would love to research it further...

She has a small amount of usual rot but passes an MOT the day before I purchased it without issue... A great usable car👍

Here you go Craig:

As I said, some good and very knowledgeable people on there! If it passed the MOT recently then you should be onto a winner! 5.0 S/C Autobiography - now gone to pastures new....

Any rot on it? Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
2025MY Defender D350 90 in Silicon Silver on coils
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"
Many, many other Landies over the years

Small amount on NS inner wing and a couple of patches in the boot floor, apart from that, very little indeed

Pull the carpet up adn check the bottom of the A-pillars  5.0 S/C Autobiography - now gone to pastures new....

Afternoon Craig, Looks a nice one that. I too used to have one extremely similar to that, M reg 94 I think it was. Very comfortable, very capable at everything you ask of it. One of the worst rust spots I remember was just inside the rear doors near the seatbelt mounts. Had LPG on mine. Also developed fault in the wiring loom resulting in complete lack of power from the battery, turned out to be a multi connector behind the glove box. Ive got a owners manual somewhere if you need one for the price of postage.

If you're really lucky its a 25th anniversary one.

Wouldn’t it have chrome bumpers if it was a 25th anniversary model ? Stephen Gazard

It should yes and a commemorative badge on the wings and I think a brown interior. But lots of these things could have been changed over the years. Sadly for Craig I don't think it probably is.
