Imported from the UK last month, this is my favorite Rover Defender 200 TDI. Runs and drives well, the low works well and pulls good. This is the Van side Rover, it spent most of its life on a farm using the red diesel. This fuel use allows an individual to use the local road for a mile or so with out paying a user tax for road use. When it arrived I was told it probably had never done over 50 MPH in its life. I did 65 with no problem, including using 5th gear. This Rover does need work, rear outriggers need replacement, bulkhead needs patching in a few areas. The steering is a little vague, tires are good, left door will need replacing. All parts can be ordered directly from Paddock Spares. Please do yourself a favor and look at the websites, most dealers in the USA use them and mark up accordingly. If you are going to own a Rover don't be afraid to search and use UK sites including eBay uk. This Rover will need to be towed or moved on a trailer. It needs attention to the steering prior to driving on public roads. Has clean Colorado title and has been brought in country properly thru customs. Call if you have questions, 970-398-9251
