Adams Manx Photography Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I have checked every Isle of Man sales place for a Land Rover Defender (I am very keen on them) and there seems to be not one person selling a decent one, there was one for sale but as soon as I finished checking prices for insurance and what not it was gone, now there are only rotten ones left (I think they were spares or repair) then there is one for £5,500 but the guy who is selling it hasn't replied to emails and since he has no phone no. I can't ring him So in my hour of need I have came here! I am quite open to offers below £6,000 but it has to have a good chassis and bulkhead (not rotted through) and a good body on it that won't fall apart once it hits a bump (I've seen it before) But please if you do know someone or indeed have one for sale on the Isle of Man please let me know! Otherwise I have to go to the UK and bring one back with the overpriced steamracket then pass it with the oh so hard Manx MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 if you are buying one as good as you say you want? the MOT shouldn't be an issue. better to find a fault ( genuine one ) than crash your cut and shut a week later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, it shouldn't be a problem if I get a good one, just got to find the right one if I get one from the UK then. Thanks WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thargoid Killer Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Give Weed a ring at Weedspeed on 460555. He's always got Landrovers for sale, I know he has 2 at the moment - a 90 and a 110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
