    Defender needed for TV commercial in Qld.

    Hi all
    I have been given the job of tracking down one of these Defenders for a TV commercial we will be filming for 5 days mid March around Noosa and Fraser Island.
    Firstly I am calling it a 2003 Landrover Defender 110 please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    Problem is they will want to drive it through the water on Fraser... yes salt water.
    That almost definately counts out the hire of one unless anyone here is interested, we would pay a hire fee plus cleaning fish oiling fee etc. after the hire.
    Hmm don't think any one would be interested so next option is to purchase so is any one perhaps interested in selling or know of one for sale Brisbane area??
    Would I be wrong in saying that between 1998 model to 2003 there was little difference and we could use any of these.

    thanks in advance
    Steve
    Oh if anyone is intersted in a hire please PM me and we can possibly negotiate an appropriate fee.

    Mate, depending on the shot you need, any Landrover Defender, County or even Series made within the last 30 years or so would look similar!

    Good luck finding one to drive through water though. Many people take their vehicle on the beach, but most people who care about their's avoid driving through the actual water.

    What sort of money are you offering, who will be driving it, and can the owner drive and/or be on site to supervise?

    Thanks for the offer but sure the production company will have that sorted already.

    Will have to negotiate money with the owner if the vehicle is suitable, obviously it would be a sum worth their while.
    Driven by a stunt/precision driver and by all means the owner could be there.
    The water drive through is not the only shot so therefore it is in the production companys interest (continuity wise) to keep the car running for the whole 5 days. It will be a planned and controlled drive through.
