P672 BUB is an X RAF 110 Defender that we have owned a couple of times before. The last time we sold it was in 2009 to Tim in Berkshire. We are more than happy to be able to offer it for sale once again as it has a genuine 60,000 miles from new, and solid examples of the 300TDi are getting more and more difficult to find.

Thursday 12th April
Today, we had the great pleasure in delivering “SPY” – the beautifully restored 1970 Series IIA to Andrew in West Sussex. This was a case of “In with the old – out with the new”, as the 1970 Land Rover will be replacing his 1989 Turbo Diesel 90 – that has been in the family since 2003.
The 1989 T/D has been brought back to Huddersfield, and will be offered for sale once it has been checked over in the workshop – It will make a great “cheap and cheerful / running restoration” for someone looking for a project that they can drive and improve as they go along.

Today is the day that 193 ELM is setting off for a new life in Germany. A deal was agreed with Michael in Hamburg back in February, with the assistance of one of our previous clients Gary.
One of Gary’s friends, Matt will be travelling up today, to collect the Land Rover, and drive it to Hamburg.
( Update Monday 16th – Matt and 193 ELM have arrived safely in Hamburg )

We always like to see Land Rovers travelling in both directions – so as “193 ELM” leaves us for Germany – L455 RHL a 1994 Left Hand Drive 90 Soft Top arrives with us from France. LHD Defenders are always well sought after, so we do not expect this one to be around for long. UK registration has been completed – So if you are looking for a Land Rover to take to your holiday home – exportation should be a breeze.

Saturday 14th April
As we often say – whilst many of our Land Rovers are sold “over the phone” or “Over the Internet”, it is always a pleasure to have the opportunity to show potential clients around our facilities, so that they can see Land Rovers at various stages of preparation.
That was the case today when Daniel and Rachel travelled up from Hertfordshire – looking for a classic Land Rover.
After spending a few hours looking at the Land Rovers on offer they have decided to purchase HOO 452B – the 1964 Series IIA that arrived at the end of last month.
The preparation work will consist of our normal mechanical service and check over, but additionally, a full soft top will be in order.

Also today, we are really happy to finally lay our hands on TBO 300H – This Land Rover has had a ground up restoration, to an extremely high standard including Galvanised chassis and LPG system. This would be equally at home in London, out in the country, or cruising the boulevards of the South of France.
