Thread: Land Rover Defender Crushed By Feds........

Fair enough. Did a quick search but didn't find anything.

As you can see, it has caused much discussion.

i hope they made the criminals that imported it watch as they destroyed it

if you see the price Defenders, or Countys that are Defenderised , go for on ebay U.S. you would then know that the rogues who are doing this are making more than pocket money.

hmmm,, just watched it again, it is a 200tdi, green oil filler cap, distinctive thermostat housing and the ubiquitous black coolant bottle., has an lt77 too, so not much of a loss in the transmission department

was a nice looking vehicle though

Ah, it'll buff out.

Anyone up for a project?

U.S. Customs Crush Illegally-Imported Land Rover Defender: Video

Apart from the illegal manipulation of vin etc...have a listen to what this 'expert' thinks of the safety of the Defender

This has been shown on here many, many, many times - vehicle was not crushed because it was unsafe but because it was rebirthed as vehicle that was different to that presented.

Well sorry if I'm rehashing old news. And yes I know it was crushed because it was an illegal import, I did make reference to that....

Apart from the illegal manipulation of vin etc..

I'll be sure to do a search on what has already been covered before I post anything again.

I must have missed something. Did he say that Defender was a Decepticon or something. He said it was dangerous so that's the only thing i can think of.
