1986 Land Rover Defender

Description: Cleaning up the garage, making room for another project... I respect these range quite a bit in value, so all fair offers will be considered and discussed. Up for sale is a 1986 Land Rover Defender. I have had this truck for about 10 years. Its is a beautiful, well running, mechanically refreshed Defender in great shape. VIN = SALLDVAD8AA280723 (Since manufactured outside of the US, eBay has troubles with actual VIN) - but can send copies of title etc.I have a clean title in hand, currently registered in Texas. Odometer is still in KM and has about 250000km on it which would be approx. 150k miles., but previous owner rebuilt transmission and I have rebuilt just about all other mechanical pieces. When i purchased it, I immediately put it in the best Dallas Rover shop with instructions to fix, refresh or rebuild anything needed to make it a dependable everyday driving truck. The work was completed at North Texas British in Dallas and they can likely provide all records and proof of work if needed (I have most of the receipts, etc.). Just about everything was cleaned up or replaced except the transmission - which was deemed to be performing strong. Since the work, I have driven it around town from time to time and have put less than 2000 miles on it. NOTE - several people have asked - I did NOT do an engine swap - the previous owner swapped in a Disco 4.0L engine into it, we rebuilt that engine. I don't sell cars for a living, so ask away if you have questions and I will answer as best as I can. I respect that the pricing on these vary greatly and every one has their own value due to work put in, work left to do, etc. All serious offers will be considered - I need room in the garage. I am in the Dallas area if you want to see it in person. Mechanically and Operationally1. Previous owner had swapped in a 4.0 liter LR Disco engine with a Carb. We pulled it and rebuilt it. While out, we replaced motor mounts.2. New Suspension on all corners3. Has internal AC unit which holds Freon well - This blows cold, but will not compete with a 100 degree day.4. All lighting was swapped to LED.5. Dual Battery system installed with isolation system. NEW starting battery installed in 2024. Also has a pigtail that connects to one battery that can be connected in the driver rear wheel well for easy charging, jumps, powering of equipment, etc.6. New Stereo and speakers installed. (very basic.) Cosmetically:1. The truck was white when i purchased it, and from areas in engine compartment appears to have been green in a prior life. I had the exterior coated with a Kevlar infused Bed Liner material - two tone. Most of the truck is battleship grey with hood and roof being a fleck Black. Since coated its been stored covered in garage or covered enclosed carport.2. New leather buckets installed in the front along with a locking center compartment. Rear are leather buckets as well that swing up out of the way.3. Black Carpet throughout with a grey headliner. Headliner has some sags in it. 4. Multiple layers of insulation on floor boards and around cockpit area....its quieter...but its a manual defender, so far from silent.5. Rims were dipped black to match color scheme. Known Issues... currently the only unaddressed problem is the wiper stalk and wiper jets. The wiper stalk that attaches to the steering column can come loose and hang. The gentleman doing the state inspection broke it from the bracket. Wipers still work, but evnetually that will need to be replaced if you plan to drive in the rain regularly. One jet nozzle broke off when washing it. Truck had company logos on it, those have been removed (some are visible in the pictures.) I have more pics if you wish to see certain pieces or parts and I can take more.Truck is in Dallas so buyer - if not local - will need to arrange shipping. I can adjust my schedule to accomodate pick ups, etc.
