    Great color. Shame it's a 97 thus automatic only.
    I still can't believe the $$$ these things pull. I'd love to have one...

    They're less than half the price in Europe, but they can't be imported into the US until they're 25 years or older...therefore supply/demand in the US dictates the significantly higher price.

    There's tons of them driving around here in Canada. Our rule is 15 years or older.

    Check out prices on NAS Defender 110s! There were only 525 of them and they've been fetching stupid money for years now.

    Yes, I have two Land Rovers and formerly a RRC so I'm familiar with the Defender market. The 93 NAS 110 being limited but damn. I just love them so much. I just hate that they go for such $$$. Glad most are becoming 25 years old now. Someday I'll get one. Let's load up the boats!

    I saw it.

    Yes the other truck has low miles, but it's not an LE, and I'm sure a very different driving experience from mine. Sorting out squeaks and rattles and insulating these trucks is quite a battle, and not that many owners take it on.
    I get a lot of inquiries and tire kickers. Most people who come and drive it seem to want a daily driver, but the Defender takes a special type of person to want to drive it daily...

    If no one comes through soon, I'm planning on listing it on BAT.

    My Dad had one from the 70s, it was a 110 with no windows on the back.
    Tan with white top, safari rack with the additional roof 1" above the regular roof.
    Two spare tires mounted, had tons of extra parts in the back compartments.
    Right hand drive, and a 4 cylinder Diesel engine.
    Had a big shell decal on the back "We crossed the mulabar" (sp)
    Had 75 gallons of fuel tanks on it.
    Top speed was about 55 mph, downhill with a stiff tail wind.
    He gave it away for about $7 K in the 90s.
    I can only wonder what it would be worth today.

    Depending on the model, it may not be worth not much.

    The NAS trucks have never been cheap with original MSRP in the 90's over $30k.

    I shouldve bought one of these, when I was in high school.

    Got a 2 door Tahoe Sport instead.

    I've seen this rig on Defender Source. Love the LE's - cool color and rare. I want an SW to go with my 97 NAS ST.

    GLWS!
