Pickles auctions brand new Defender

[Bundalene]

I am surprised no one has mentioned this one, or did it come up while we were away last week.

This is brand new - never been on the road. I assume it has the compliance tags - but not certain? Bull Bar, snorkel, ......

Has anyone seen this vehicle or know about it's history. = looks like it may have fallen over?

never been registered ? i wonder did it fall off the back of a truck:angel: looks like it could be fixed up ok

[Scouse]

By the look of the accessoies fitted & window stickers, it may have met it's end on the way back from a 4x4 store.
It has the dealer's spare wheel cover so the PD would have been done & about to be delivered to it's owner.

[JDNSW]

? Looks to have side bench seats in the back?

John

[Chucaro]

I put my name for the front seats :)

[LR D4]

feel for the owner who has to wait to get another one set up...:thumbsdown:

[Mikes defender]

converable any one.....

[Lotz-A-Landies]

I can't see that being a never registered vehicle. It has to have been a demonstrator at least, who would fit IPF stickers to the back window of a never registered vehicle.

It has to be an error in the listing.

As suggested possibly being fitted out by the dealer so being driven around on dealer plates?

I suspect an apprentice is looking for a new job....;)

[Sleepy]

Would make a good project if the chassis is straight. I wonder what it will sell for?

[dmdigital]

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:

[one_iota]

The rear bench seats?

Not possible under ADR's surely.

African/Asian export/import?

Certainly not set up for the domestic market.

[dmdigital]

The rear bench seats?

Not possible under ADR's surely.
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.

[andrew e]

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.

[THE BOOGER]

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:

[Ranga]

Wonder why the interior is so grubby?

[rovercare]

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

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

[Sleepy]

Wonder why the interior is so grubby?

"Grubby" or "Soiled"?:wasntme:

[p38arover]

Why don't they quote the VIN?

[Bundalene]

Why don't they quote the VIN?

Probably so unscruplous people won't mis-use it?

That was our demo at work. I fitted that out and we had it as a demo for a few weeks. The seats were fitted in melbourne, dont no what company. The sales man said that he crashed it in canberra on the way home to Queensland.

[THE BOOGER]

So you have an opening for a salesman? did you get a look at it after the bump if so how bad was it:)

[Bundalene]

Bugger - I missed the sale - had log in problems with Pickles.

Does anyone know what the Defender sold for?

Erich

[Beaum]

No it never came back to work. Its a shame but it was a nice truck. Didnt need much to finish it off. We normaly set up a few fenders with bullbar, winch, lights, cargo barier and that gets rid of them pretty quick. Im doing a crew cab now, its just basic with a rear locker tow bar and some other stuff.

[Beaum]

The sales man didnt crash it, the customer did. I just read my stuff up.
