Roughly 75% of vehicle is new or newly rebuilt, with the work professionally completed by DC Rovers and Independent Land Rover Specialists in metro Washington,D.C. I have the appraisal, receipts, and parts lists for all major items and almost all items in total. Numerous photos from the frame offr estoration process as well. Too many new parts to list here, available on request. Vehicle is registered and tagged in Virginia as a daily driver with clean title in hand (no lien). It has passed Virginia safety inspection every time (exempt from emission). Vehicle has been used as daily driver and weekend ride since restoration. Vehicle runs properly at all speeds and cruises at 70-75 mph without issue for hours.

INCLUDED EXTRAS: Vehicle purchase will also include a large amount of spare and additional parts I have purchased for this vehicle to include replacement steel hood wing covers, oil,fuel, and air filters, hoses, gaskets, blanking plates, spare door cards, sunroof finisher, badges, spare steering pump, plugs, U joints, and many more filling multiple large rubber maid bins.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF NOTE:

As to be expected with an old Land Rover, minor intermittent fluid leaks depending on temperature (a few drops intermittently). No notable drops in fluid levels. Even $200k restorations suffer from this and even happens minimally with new parts.


A few finishing items could still be finished, based on preference. For example, a toggle switch next to the hazard light switch below the steering wheel is missing. A simple blanking plate can cover it, or new accessory switch. A new aftermarket tachometer is installed in dash but not connected. Exterior paint job is 8/10 with minor blemishes and expected wear since it was painted in 2018. Vehicle recently had a professional detail with full wax coating. Vehicle has been garage kept since restoration and driven regularly.
