1969 Land Rover Defender

Would you like be recognized for being as distinctive and adventurous as you really are, from a block away?

Are you seeking a vehicle that demonstrates your authenticity, and how original you are from a glance? Of course you are. That is why you came here.

This is it. Look no further, chance and good fortune have collided with your fate. You are one touch of the screen or tap of a button away from your destiny.

Stop what you are doing, and read along.

A great and adventure-filled life, chance, and hard luck have combined to achieve this incredible cosmetic patina, and my passion to build a reliable daily driver, are what you see here. These were dropped from planes in wars, have traversed trails and the wilds on every continent, because of its capability based on a balance of power, size, construction, design, and performance. People were born and have died in these. This one has survived more than most, she has the scars to tell her story, and with all the work that has been done, she has plenty of life left for you two to make your own.

Vehicles like this rent for several thousands of dollars per week for TV and film because of the way she looks and also because she drives so well. I drove her to work today as usual, she is my old car.

Recently completed several thousand dollars-worth of work ata vintage British European Auto in San Pedro, CA and at Mike’s Foreign Car Repair in Redondo Beach, CA, where he has been working on these for the Armenian military since they were new.

The list of work done is exhaustive, including an new overdrive transmission, engine service, overdrive transmission, blasted and painted undercoat, full new brakes from the master cylinder, hard lines, steel braided lines, new, shaped shoes to match new drums, hubs, axles, drive shaft,radiator, carb, fuel pump, fuel tank, dozens of other items. This is the gas version, not the slower diesel option, so with the overdrive that has been recently installed, she is actually freeway capable and ready to take you anywhere.

This is my only car and my daily driver, but I am moving. In this condition, people go nuts for it at every light. They leave sweet notes onit at the store. It’s really a lot cooler in person.

It had the right seven-seat combo, the safari roof, theladder, the perfect tire and wheel combo, even a legally currently registered California black plate and clean title in hand. This is a foot shorter and 2”narrower than a Mazda Miata to put the scale into perspective, so she fits in the smallest compact parking spot with ease. These are rapidly appreciating and you cannot recreate this patina. The perfectly restored trailer queens make them a lot less fun to drive. This one is a blast for going to the store, the beach, the mountains and off-road adventures where larger, less capable vehicles can’t get.

Make questionable decisions. Amaze people with your intent.You can’t take it with you. Make the stories now, have the adventures that will keep you smiling when you aretoo old to do anything else. Do it, and don’t let someone else outbid you by a dollar.You only go around once.
