A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing? My old 1998 Defender 110

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing maybe?

My old Land Rover Defender 110 - 300Tdi - 1998.

Photographed in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania .....

.....on what is known as the "Transalpină" Pass - BEFORE they ruined it by turning it into a tarmac highway!

I owned this beauty of a Land Rover from 2004 until selling it (reluctantly) to Mike from Bristol! He's a scaffolder, and bigger than me, so I didn't have the heart to refuse him!

This Land Rover was unusual - probably the best ever built at Solihull:
- Genuine Land Rover Special Vehicles.
- Hand built for UK National Grid in 1998.
- 300Tdi - the best non-electronic engine.
- Strengthened double skin chassis rails.
- HD suspension with twin rear coils.
- 5 seat workshop body.
- Full Brownchurch roofrack.
- Winch.

And a whole lot more - e-mail me if you want to know more about this beast!
