Needs Sorting: Wipers, installed new motor but that was not issue. Something was unplugged behind dash while installing the new ignition switch. Some dash plastic needs replacing, not expensive parts. Passenger and rear door bottoms have some rust holes. Easy fix when needed, parts through RoversNorth.
V8 runs very smooth. Easy to get parts in US, same engine (simple V8, like Buick 215) as 1988 Range Rover. Got the starter at Autozone (life time warranty) Mileage believed to be correct - spent most of its life on the very small Jersey Channel Island in English Channel. SU carbs seem to be well tuned and balanced. Quite clean for age.
Brakes are disk up front and drums in rear. Off road tires have lots of tread. Painted black (from blue-grey) in the UK. Snorkel and work light not installed because buyer may not prefer. The snorkel is for a 300tdi but can be modified for V8. Got a great deal on it, so bought it.
