Which Do I Buy?

[Bush Tucker Man]

If ya get a tilt like Daves it'll be practically the same although i never seen a green one.

If I go this route, I'd get a Ifor-Williams top, more secure

[Bush Tucker Man]

Got the weekend off.

Hoping to be able to get to 'Simmonites', 'Huddersfield LandRover Centre', Rocar-Moores & possibly 'High-Peak'

That's unless we get a big dollop of the 'white stuff' & then it'll be up over HolmeMoss, Woodhead Pass & Snake Pass to play in the snow

[Bush Tucker Man]

I've found one at Simmonites, go to 'Vehicle sales', & it's T782 SCE

There's nothing that strikes me on the Huddersfield LandRover Centre website.
However, they did build up Richard 'Hamster' Hammonds 110 Tilt (go to 'Friends')
Sadly they wouldn't sell me Range Rover chassis#001 lasttime I was there    


High Peak have only got a 110Tdi CSW listed under the Defender section

[Bush Tucker Man]

Called in at Guy Salmon (Wakefield) this afternoon & they're inundated with (new) Defenders now :D
Outside;Zambesi Silver; 90 Hard-Top, 90 CSW & 110 CSW
Inside;90 'Black', Tonga Green 90 Hard-Top & a Zambesi Silver 110 Double-Cab, with a very posh (colour matched) Truckman Top

Salesman was desperate to arrange a test-drive (must be coming up to end of year bonus's) :D

Now it's being mentioned that I might have to sell the trailer again & new Defenders are too dear.

I was browsing the current copy of 'LRE' in bed last night & Joanne was pointing put the 110 Hard-Tops in it!
I don't want a 110 Hard-Top, I've had one.
Still she did manage to show me a 110Tdi CSW, but it's 'N' plated, thus I'd lose entitlement to my plate; 'S50 RAT'

So it's a bit 'up in the air' at the moment (again) :?

I've had 2 calls from the salesman already. Pity, I've been out both times

Send him round to me when you speak to him, I could do with measuring the radius arm\outrigger gap on a new 110  :lol:  :lol:

Not too sure if he'll come from Barnsley Road in Wakefield up to the top end of Roundhay??
Dealer

Bet he will if he thinks he's going to sell it. And besides you'll have to be there with the camera for when he's driven up specially, then I grovel under it with a tape measure then "Nah sorry Mate it's the wrong width like the one I've got"

 :lol:  :lol:

well it looked ......okay, but quite simply the wrong colour.
Far, far, too many silver cars about today

[Bush Tucker Man]

Well..............
I've been & test-driven a '55' plate 90XS this afternoon.


Not bad those Td5's are they? (better than I thought)

And, offered a fairly good deal on an unregistered 110CSW (about £24,300 OTR)

Scratch that, been elsewhere & test-drove.
Then 'deposited' on it afterwards :D  :D  :D

[Bush Tucker Man]

It was funny in a way, I've almost had to sign a 'keep it clean' clause before Joanne agreed with me over it :(scared):  :(sulk):

I quite liked the 90 XS I drove yesterday at Guy Salmon, but the thought of buying a brand spanker was a bit scary (all that money)
Plus it was an offer on the 'In Stock' special edition vehicles;
90XS (black, with air-con)
90SW 'Silver'
110SW 'Silver'
110Double-Cab 'Silver'

So a trawl of local dealers took place on t'internet' last night;
1. 110 Td5 CSW ('T'plate) at the Huddersfield Land Rover Centre
2. 90 Heritage ('V' plate) at Simmonites
3. 90 Heritage ('W' plate) at Buxton 4x4

And the one mentioned in this afternoons post

Richard

If you can find a low mileage TDi 110CSW, with a full dealer history, then it is likely to be worth every penny.
However, these are few and far between - don't be tempted to risk a non-service history vehicle.

48,000miles & fully stamped history book

In fact I've even seen this vehicle before somewhere in the hands of its previous owner.
