Awesome rig ! I also have a Trident green 110 200tdi. Hope you get every penny of your asking price-pretty sure you are taking a beating @ that price. Any chance of getting you to post more pictures ?

[NashvilleRover]

Any chance you would sell the white doors?
E-mail me at: nashvillerover@comcast.net if that is a positive.

Thanks

I'm sure the rig is super, but I noticed the Vermont plates and the 1984 date and did some simple math in my head. What's the story on a 24 year old truck getting into the US. I realize 2009 is just around the corner. Is this truck sitting in Canada just waiting for next year?

it is manufacture date that matters not year of the truck so it could have been built in summer of 83 but sold as an 84 making it eligible for the 25 year rule.

If I had the cash a check would be on the way.

[Carpe]

That's cool, because I've got a 1997 Defender that was manufactured in *cough cough* 1983 (must have just been sitting around in some corner of the Sollihul facility all that time, officer, I dunno...). Screw that pesky VIN number, we both know when it was actually made. They were ALL made in 1983! They have just been doing a controlled release ever since then.

Not sure I buy it, but of course as a married man, I am not only open to, but obligated to be proven wrong.

Well said!

ahh that explains why they all still leak and have no heat

Oh, now that's funny! You know, it's terribly interesting to me that we fanatically pursue a brand of trucks whose aftermarket is, in my estimation, dominated more by repair parts than accessories, and whose discussion forums focus more on fixing rather than driving.

Cars that don't break and get decent mileage...where's the fun in that? What would I do with that extra time and money anyway? Get into trouble, that's what. Working on a Land Rover is God's work, saving each of us from the sins of apathy, complacency, and Prius snobbery. We each have our own cross[member] to bare, and that's what keeps us in pursuit of right-living...or something.

Dude, that is so well put, I took delight in reading it.

I heard from a very wise person once the following quote about happiness:

"Happiness is: 1) Something to do, 2) something to look forward to, and 3) someone to love."

Land Rovers fulfill two out of the three, with ease (and possibly even the third).

[GriffSC]

well done...

you two! enjoyed your posts. i couldn't agree more nor express the rover way of life any better. too bad most rover owners don't put the same energy into their trucks as they do their family and friends.

say, chris, you interested in writing my epitaph someday?

Well, I can't say I'd be glad to (certainly for your sake), but I will.

Our Rovers lay the groundwork for our return to the dust from which we came. In most cases, it's a slow releasing of the fluids of life in the places we park and the deterioration of our frame. We learn to lament our rusty hinges. We struggle to make sense of our relevance in this world as those younger and quicker seem to grab the spotlight with all of their shiny plastic, fancy electronics, and efficient drivetrains. We know, though, that they will not last long at that pace, and that they will all eventually need pulled out of the muck, mire, and snow. Most will never see what lies on the other side of the pavement, but the imagination of what could be will always start and end with what a Rover has already done.

See, ours is an iconic journey of meaningful miles. Very few journeys that are worth taking will see no adversity and require no work. It is in the care of our Rovers that we learn what ownership really looks like. It is in accepting their faults that we find some sense of peace with our own.

I would even look after your widowed Rover for you. The Bible tells us to remember widows and orphans...thus, if my wife has a problem with another Rover, that's something she has to sort out with God, Himself. "Sorry, honey, but I don't write the rules..."

For sale
1984 Land Rover Defender 110. This vehicle has numerous upgrades and new parts. The frame was recently wax oiled to prevent any additional corrosion. The frame does have rust but this is in no way a basket case. The front outriggers were replaced with Land Rover OEM parts as was the rear cross member. Included in the purchase of the vehicle are two brand new Defender 110 doors (from the BMW era of Land Rover ownership and have substantially increased anti-corrosion properties). These retail for over $2000.00 each (if you can find them). Also included are brand new OEM Land Rover center posts (the inner door frames), new Land Rover OEM outer fender wings and new Land Rover OEM rear frame outriggers.
The engine is a 200tdi installed by Lanny Clark (www.lannyclarkrovers.com) who is perhaps the best Land Rover specialist on the east coast. The engine was purchased from Rovers North and is in excellent shape. The transmission is an LT77 with a differential lock. The vehicle has always had only full synthetic Amsoil fluids in the axels, transfer case, transmission, engine oil, etc. The vehicle runs perfectly and is ready to drive anywhere in the USA. The TDI engine is fantastic on the highway and will hold a cruise at 70 MPH all day long. The vehicle is owned by a professional off road driving instructor and has been setup with an eye on comfortable driving to the off road event and performance while off road.
In short this vehicle is ready to go and is the perfect Defender for someone who wants to hit the trail or complete the restoration process I began. Please e-mail any and all questions and I will respond quickly.

Our Rovers lay the groundwork...

lovely. simply lovely. brings a light mist to my eyes...

I would even look after your widowed Rover for you. The Bible tells us to remember widows and orphans...thus, if my wife has a problem with another Rover, that's something she has to sort out with God, Himself. "Sorry, honey, but I don't write the rules..."

Thanks for the kind offer, Mr. Carpe Roverem, but my beloved landies will be going to my boys.

Sorry for the hijack, VTRover.

110

Please elaborate on the "frame is rusty" remark. Other questions:

Can you please post some pics of the rusty areas of the frame, the bulkhead, the floors, and any areas you might be concerned with?

How solid is the frame? Is there just surface rust or is there and serious cancer?

Any rust in the floors or bulkhead other than that is seen in the pics?

Why is the left rear passenger door bent outwards?

Any other body cancer besides the bulkhead?

What are the major issues with the vehicle, if any?

How is the tranny and t-case, any issues?

I see in your listing that you want full payment within 3 days of auction close. This is kinda unrealistic when you live up in VT. Most people would need several days to a week to arrange travel, including myself.
