Bit of a wait for it to arrive from Japan but its now here in UK . Collected on Thursday and after a 200 mile drive home got to say very pleased. Drives very smooth, engine just purrs (y) Previous owner looks like he looked after it. Inside very clean

So now the updates have started.

Bumper off waiting for new one to go on. New wheels and tires to fill those arches, looks like there is a 1.5" to 2 inch lift (coil spacers ?). New LED headlights and winch should be on this weekend.

Diff covers look like they have both been off at some point - different ratios ?

Underside is very clean so will have to underseal - UK roads eat unprotected chassis.

Getting ready for some longer road trips next year so a bit to do before then.

Very pleased so far, great Jeep.

How rare is that vehicle in you’re part of the world? Do most people know what it is?

What do the LandRover owners think?

They're not common, especially the half door spec (Its why I imported this one). Drove 200 miles and didnt see another one or a JK or a JL !

Having had a Landrover Defender 90 for 15 years I can see both sides.

Had a YJ 23 years ago and missed the 4.0 litre

Cool. Let me know if ya’ll have many camels over there. We don’t have a lot here.
