However, she's fully certified original and located in Houston, Texas.Next to her modern looks, her driving experience is superb. The engine with only 1500 miles on it, is completely rebuilt, as well as the whole drive-train plus the brake system and premium upgraded suspension. Local Texas car guys who have ridden in her can'tbelievehow smooth the ride!
I bought this beauty from the well-known Defender restoration company: The-Landrovers from Europe. They did such an incredible job for me, that I decided to sell this one and let them build me a D90 convertible for my wife and a D110 Crew Cab as in the latest James Bond movie SPECTRE for myself.
