They are not legal in the US so they get crushed upon import

Mmmm, was thinking that too Rob. The US will not tolerate those type of emissions these days.

I believe its a safety issue too. They don't meet standards they require.

 

I think the very old series are ok as they come in as a classic but the later models are against regs.

 

Its a shame, stolen ones and ringers end up out their so someone's pride and joy can be sent and crushed without them even knowing and hoping they may see it again one day. They may not expect it to be recycled and part of the fridge door!

defender for sale - Land Rover Monthly

 

Pre 91 all 'defenders' were just 'Ninetys' or 'One Tens'. Once the Discovery arrived the Defender brand was launched. Also I think the TDI engine wasnt brought out until '86 (? - If so, good vintage!) so you're looking at a manually aspirated 2.25 Diesel or V8 (check me here boffins)

 

IMO, aim for a 90's 300TDI or decent 200TDI. You're looking at 5k for a decent start. 8k+ for anything later into the 2000's TD5s.

 

Buying guides always crop up in the magazines. Take a hammer, torch and some overalls and get underneath to check thoroughly for rust on the chassis or bulkhead!

 

Enjoy!

 

I dont think the 200 tdi was out till 91. I had a G reg 1990 110 with the 19j engine. That was easily the worst diesel engine I have ever come across was glad to see the back of that.
