    Puma destroyed

    Hi gents, some of you may be aware that we shipped a new Puma to South America late in 2010, since then we have had some great adventures, not least of which was a reunion with the Patagonian Land Rover Club. So it is with considerable regret that I tell you that on Christmas day I rolled the Defender in Mexico and wrote it off. Sadly there aren´t too many here and the wealth of spare parts that are available and I would gladly give away to any Land Rover owner are to be lost, not to mention, winch extra tanks, roof top tent and many other things a well set up Defender deserves. So before I lose myself in angst I´ll cut to the chase, is anyone aware of a Tdi Defender for sale in WA, preferably and from a good home.

    Please advise

    Bugger, Carlos. All OK?
    IF time is available, is it an option to remove the good bits and ship them home?
    If short on time, is it an option to pay someone to do the same?
    REgards, Dave.

    Wet back bent Defender

    Hi Carlos

    At least it sounds like you are ok?

    Just a thought, even though the Puma is badly damaged, there maybe someone in the States that would flatbed it across the boarder, who would love to get their hands on some late model parts.

    Are you able to post any pictures where you are?

    Mexico contact

    G'Day Carlos.
    Rainer, an AULRO member is in Mexico, perhaps he can put you in contact with some local enthusiasts.
    Hope this helps.
    Dave.
