Pickles auctions brand new Defender

All ARB accessories - bar, winch, IPF lights, snorkel, sidesteps.

But the rear inward facing rear seats are a strange one. I didn't believe LR were bring these seats into the country anymore and that the Puma was only a 2, 5 or 7 seat in the 110. I thought only Troopies flouted the rule about inward facing seats and lap belts:confused:

The rear bench seats?

Not possible under ADR's surely.

African/Asian export/import?

Certainly not set up for the domestic market.

That's what I thought but Troopies still come with them, Land Cruisers and Hiluxes still have lap belts in the centre rear seat too. So much for ADR's I suspect they get around it because they are "strictly commercial" vehicles.

Almost looks like it fell off a 2 post hoist.

Except that there is dirt wedged in the bullbar and rear end is twisted.

How can it never be registered, when they quote the rego number (XFQ086).

Should sell for low to mid 30s. mid 20s and it would be a good buy.

Maybe it was destined for Fraser Island as no sensible and risk averse commercial operator such as a mining company would subscribe to such practices.

I was offered sideways benches (aftermarket) when I bought my 2005 Def90.
The Land Rover dealer offered to arrange it all.

Originally they told me the you could only have one sideways facing seat (something about the occupants bonking heads in an accident) but then the engineer rang me back and said two is ok. I choose to go with 2 forward facing seats with lap sash belts for improved comfort and safety. Maybe its a Vicroads thing or the rules have tightened up in the last 5 years.

Hire cars hummers etc all have side ways seats but they are one off rego,s buses also have them so must be ok at least for some veh:confused:

Wonder why the interior is so grubby?

Massaro's, might have to ask Beauy what happened:D

Couldn't of happened to a better dealer:angel:
