value of '83 Defender 110 - 10/26/2007 12:17:53 PM    raanderson77   Posts: 6 Joined: 10/26/2007 Status: offline I recently purchased a 1983 RHD diesel Defender 110.  There is alot of corrosion and it needs a little work.  I was wonder what a fully restored '83 Defender 110 goes for here in the states.  I've done alot of internet research and haven't seen an '83 for sale yet.  I'm just trying to figure out how much money I want to dump into this thing Post #: 1

If you really go thru it, it will dam near be a one of a kind and as they used to say in the used car business," There is an ASS for every seat" Someone will pay dearly for that truck, but of course, why sell it when you can enjoy it? _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

The pictured vehicle has a rust free chassis and a full UK MOT (road worthyness certificate), It is advertised on landroverexchange for $10,000 including shipping to dockside East Coast USA/Canada.  I have replaced the rear xmember and also one our rigger and treated the chassis.  It has a reconditioned 2.286 ltr petrol and loads of other new parts. I priced it there so the purchaser sould have a vehicle once registered that is worth ore than he paid for it. Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) (in reply to raanderson77) Post #: 7
