<insert any ad for a Land Rover Defender here>

I simply fail to understand how a 25 year old, rusty farm truck can be worth 15k just because it's done  less than 5 million miles.

Only pisses me off because I want one desperately and they cost more than I've earned in my entire life.

Thanks all the same, but I think I'd rather buy 3 Lancia Gamma Coupes, or maybe 3 Fiat 130 Coupes instead.

Just asked Mrs BMH if she fancied buying me a birthday pressie. Showed her the pic of the Rapier, clearly she doesn't love me enough.

"FRO if you think you're having another one of these" was her reply.

Sadly I think divorce would be quite a bit more expensive!

Sad to say, it’s because the are all being shipped over here to ‘Merica. 

They sell well and for big money. One for $25k is a rarity with most starting in the $30ks. 

I wouldn’t mind one either, but sadly know that unless I sell my newly running weekender and add a bit on top, a Defender is unlikely to ever be in my future either.

I thought they were crushing them as the were driven off the boat as the only thing 25 years old is the chassis plate

£4995 for this brown 1986 City X. I'm sure it's very nice but seems a bit pricey.

He's still asking 6 large for an LR with a significantly fucked chassis(TADTS) = vendor is a throbber.

 

This. My little cousin recently bought a 90, with a galvo chassis and an MOT, that actually runs, lights mostly work etc. for less than that. And, yes, I did try my best to talk him out of it ?
