1988 Land Rover Defender 2.5 litre Turbo Diesel

This is a 1988 Defender, ot a 1980. Ebay wouldn't accept the VIN which is pictured. this is most likely because some imported this car from the UK along the line... I have a clear NJ title for this car. It went right through NJ Motor Vehicles, ne of the most evil places out there.

Up for auction is my Right Hand Drive 1988 Defender, have owned several land rovers and this one is one of the most drivable I have owned. (I have owned a 1964 series, have a 1973 series, have a 1975 101 forward control, had a 1997 Defender 90).

This landy has new tires, nd everything works. The doors shut well, he driver door hinges are painted with a poor match. The driver door window is harder than I like to roll up, ut works fine.

Interior is very nice (for an old Landy, anual everything!). Heat works good, he blower motor is wired to a toggle switch. All lights work, ncluding the rear fog lamps. There was no interior lamp when I bought it, o I put in an LED battery lamp, orks great.

I have driven the Landy at 65 mph for 70 miles at a time without a hitch. It runs great (again, or what it is). I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to my house in the blue ridge mountains, 60 miles away. It just takes more time, nd time to stretch the body.

It gets about 18 mpg, hich is great for a landy, mokes when it starts, ut this isn't a modern TDI, he previous owner put that sticker on the truck. This is old world diesel. a crappy radio, ut it works, ipers work, orn, ll lights, have never tried to tow with it, o I don't know about trailer lights.

Underneath, t is rust free. It isn't a show car, ut it is nice. Yes it leaks some oil, ut very little.

This is a fun little truck, ut I like my series 3 and the 101 better, his one is too refined for me.

call with questions, ohn 201-602-7717.

The auction will start at $12k, hen it goes without a reserve from there.
