Who's got a late model Defender in their barn?

I remember when the Triumph Silver Jubilee Bonneville came out, most were purchased as 'investments', I think they even made an extra batch because of demand.

Years later they kept coming on the market with virtually 'delivery' mileage. So many of them came up for sale it didn't turn out to be such an investment but probably worth a bit now but how many seals would you have to replace, is anything inside the engine now corroded ........??

Bonneville T140J Silver Jubilee

I'm sure there were a lot of purchasers of the final Defenders that thought they could make a quick profit, hence the low Km's.

I have 4 cars, all registered, all do less than 5k a year. Up until two years ago I had company cars, now I'm retired.
We tend to do most travel in my wife's car ( Hmm - I bought it & pay for everything, so maybe make that 5 cars !!) - Anyway, I guess that will make the 4 " Barn finds" as they are all tucked away in my garage & will be relatively low klm for their age. My 1977 series 3 has a genuine 145,000k's..

I've whittled the Landies down to 2

But one is a LR cousin, a MG ZT - from 2003.
