Defenders on "Car Sales."

Great post Steane
I'm going to look on eBay for a fake beard made from genuine Silverback pubic hair, funny.

Being honest, I'd never thought of buying a Land Rover but did have an affection for them from many years in the British forces. When LR announced that it was the end I put my name down for one, that took nearly 12 months and I was close to cancelling twice. In the end took delivery but by that time I'd bought a Disco TD5 and a series 2a, don't know what happened just sort of got hold of me! Then a week ago I bought a 10 seater series 3, don't know why just did! Never owned one now I have four!

I have no intension of doing any serious off road, been to Fraser in the Disco but going outback does not interest me, other than that taking a trailer to the dump thats as much off road as I want to do!

So why do I buy them? I just like them, like the shape, like that there an aluminium body and hand made and like tinkering with them. Oh and I'm no hipster either!

I love my 2015 110 and use it how it's intended to be used every single weekend; however, with prices going up and up and up, I sometimes can't help but think that my defender is now probably worth as much as a low km D4...this is of course assuming that these cars on carsales are actually selling for their list price...which I'm not entirely convinced is what's happening

True, some Nordic country recently tried to ban fossil fuel cars from the road by 2025. They scaled back to prohibiting sale of new cars only. Not long now and they will be banned from Australian cities. I imported my TDI defender from the UK just before they banned them (no dpf) from entering London. I wouldn't have been able to sell it to anyone near me.

Ha ha, nice! Thanks 👍. Is that a Landy sized electric blanket, plugged in to the mega transformer on the right? ...he/she looks happy, lights on ...for now. But cooped up in the garage for long periods will not be so happy!

Mine aren't happy even if I go anywhere near a car wash!

Yep reckon I need a silver back pubic hair blanket too... It's the philosophy of Land Rover and design I enjoy the most, so we have that in common 😎. My desert sojourns are not heroic in the slightest. Simplicity, least possible mods and respectful (of diverse cultures, country and vehicle) adventuring is my modus operandi.

Cheers

Well, some "hopeful" Defender sellers are definitely "trying" to be a bit "greedy",.......don't know whether they're actually succeeding in their endeavours though, as some of those listed vehicles have been listed for quite a while, & are becoming very familiar to me!

Not putting kilometers on your Landy is like not having sex with your partner to keep her fresh for the next person.

are you selling Tombie?

I doubt they are selling anywhere near the price advertised. People are trying to gouge based on the cost of a heritage. Fair one but doubt it will work.

Cheers
