I really want a Defender, someday. I love working class vehicles and something about the super bad ass utility of a Defender really speaks to me. So when Patrick journeyed through the F1 parking lot, I went to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

There are some pretty amazing options, but an even more amazing price difference. The one above, which looks almost minty fresh with 102,000 km, is $5,700 but others below it are priced north of $30k, for what doesn't look like a huge difference in restoration or overall quality. Is the market a bit of a free-for-all? I would totally drive the green one back from Edmonton, though.

Drive train RWD!?! Da faq... I think the other ones are so loopy because the sellers are trying to mimic the US market.

Also, DO IT.

Probably just a setting mix up, as the seller mentions front and rear lockers... I didn't even see that at first!

The market's not so much a free-for-all as that the US market and limitations on what makes a US-legal Defender have very much fucked up the rates they go for. A Canada-only-no-way-can-this-get-sold-in-the-US Defender in mediocre shape: definitely would be worth much less than a proper NAS spec US Defender or good condition pre'89 Ninety or One Ten, even for being pretty much the same vehicle in every way.
