Can you educate me on why I should join you in being irritated about this (although it seems pricey even in my lack of knowledge about these vehicles)?

And making it look like this:

And thinking it’s worth $34k...

Bit of a waste turning a series 2a into a defender.

Why....why not buy a Defender instead. That’s clearly what he wanted.

Okay, now that you point it out, I feel like even I should have caught that it was presented as a makeover of the 1969. Ugh. What a travesty.

I’m all for resto-mods, but this destroyed all of the original character that should be maintained on the exterior.

Worst part is, the radiator is still in the same spot! Normally when someone does this, it’s so they can fit a V8 or V6 in. There is no point in this other than wanting it to look like a Defender.

Why does it look like the axles/body aren’t lined up? The wheels aren’t centered in the openings.

What sort of price could you expect it to sell for if it were original and in good condition throughout or recently restored?

But I bet he has RECEIPTS for that $34k so it has to be worth that much?

Stage 2 make a huge difference in 0-60 times. From ‘maybe’ to ‘probably’.

$25k seems to be around the going rate for a well sorted Series IIa.

TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts. > Party-vi 01/18/2018 at 15:35

Wheels on the IIa sit a little forward, and when fitted with appropriately sized tires this doesn’t pose a problem.

Gives it better approach and departure angles.

Decimal is in the wrong spot. Correct price is $340.00.

There aren’t enough facepalm gifs in the world for this.

“Y tho” is that every twit over here who has seen what a true modern Defender goes for (or used to) gets dollar signs in their eyes trying to make a Series into a more or less fake one either intending to rip someone off for Defender money or in some twisted way trying to do it for themselves because the imaginary extra value earns them more imaginary social cachet and class.

The latter group are the more thorough, psychotically twisted in execution of their aims, and revolting. The “show winner” bit would come from taking it to a car show of total pillocks or staffed by a crowd of sniffers with the same malformed masturbatory fetish.

Buy really amazing Defender for $40k imported, or buy $10k series, spend $20k on parts to rebuild and turn into pseudo-Defender and $10k in labor, then sell at a loss. FUCKING GENIUS.

I’m almost certain he could get $3.4k from SOMEBODY. Just not me. Series Defraudsters are...

You forgot the part where you don’t even do a 200Tdi swap... Maybe he spent all that money on the paint job.

Hey I know I’ll take a car from before the Clean Air Act required any kind of emissions control and into which I could put literally anything and instead rebuild the 2.25 with monkeyed cam profile so it still doesn’t breathe for shit and now doesn’t scavenge well at low RPM for torque anymore.

FUCKING. GENIUS.

On an old Land Rover? That seems optimistic, especially since it makes the departure angle worse, not better. It’s more likely that the guy who welded together the ladder frame on the prototype had three beers at lunch and then just eyeballed the measurements.

Approach angle on a Series is 49° and departure is 32°, but yeah putting this thing together required an altered state of mind.

I suppose it just surprises me that they would do this to a IIa instead of getting hold of a 90 or 110 which all are over 25 years old now. At least the wheels would be centred in the wells and any dress-up Defender equipment would just bolt straight on. You’d even get the one piece windscreen which is the gigantic red flag on that build.

There was a moment in time after the discontinuation of the Defender here when huge prices were commanded, and even a faux one might be sold to an utter fool for its cheapness as opposed to the real thing . While *in comparison*, a IIA was relatively more plentiful. Just a market perversity that worked itself out about a decade ago with available Stage Ones, but this individual is not merely an hallucinatory dolt, but well behind the times.
