Hi folks
Happy 2017!
After a busy few years here in SA we are now selling Dassie our overland ready Land Rover Defender 110 300 TDi Hard Top.
We had a great trip across Europe & Africa in 2010/11 (
blog) and have added many new things to the vehicle but we are now making a few life changes and starting a new challenge, so want to pass her onto a new owner for a new adventure.
The base vehicle is a 1997 Defender 100 300TDI Hard Top van with heavy duty Salisbury rear axle & R380 gear box. It was a former Environment Agency vehicle and was well looked after.
She had all major works (including cab roll cage) performed by Foley Overland UK with some subsequent additions by Burnco of Cape Town. On our trip she performed amazingly well and is in top class condition and been serviced regularly.
She is currently on an SA plate but we also have the original UK paperwork / plates, so import back to UK would be very easy as she is SORN with DVLA.
We enhanced the rear of the vehicle after the trip to serve as place to sit when cold / wet or needing some privacy and you can convert for emergency sleeping when in cities as the rear floor turns into a sleeping area in really bad weather. The new side windows give a real feeling of the space being with a cool breeze that makes the interior a nice place to sit. A small fold out table is big enough to prep meals and use a laptop but small enough to pack away when needed.
The list of items / extras in the sale is long but all the items included are covered in the links below for you to review.
