£20k for this M reg defender.

 

This wins the worst wheels ever award for a 4x4 made in solihull in the mid 90's.

Or you could buy this brand new with a warranty for £23,00. If you're VAT registered,as a van it would owe you less than the 20 year old Christmas tree.

You wouldn't have to worry about where all the newer bits had come from either.

I've never been bothered too much about these but I like the look of this colour and wheels. Dunno if I could pay that much though.

I can't see from that pic, but didn't the Rancho with the XR2 motor have a weirdly bulging bonnet?

That rancho has a power bulge like an up turned washing bowl you just can't see it clearly in the picture.

Is that the abortion that had an xr2 engine fitted badly that had been for sale over here for quite some time ? I suspect the pictures are from before it left if so/

Yes, it's the same Rancho that was up for sale ages ago.  It must have been 4 years ago at least?

 

I spoke to someone who went to see it and was a bit of a Matra nut, he said that it was in good condition but taken to a scrapyard where someone tore out the standard engine and fitted an XR2 engine plus interior as that was apparently easier than getting the original one going.  Sometimes there just aren't enough rolleyes smilies in the world.
