This is a nice, well maintained 130 which was in daily use untill I bought. It is high mileage (300 K +) but you cannot tell when driving it. It is 25 years old and never restored, for sure you can find details and signs of use which you want to take care for.
The good:
- solid frame, newer rear cross member.
- nice seats
- drives nice. Engine is an easy starter, had it in storage for over a year and started right up..
- transmission smooth
- steering and brakes good, no vibration, no weird rattles
- Brand new Saw tooth wheels with Cooper 285/75-16 tires
- Timing belt, oils and filters are being changed right now by a Land Rover dealer
- bulkhead under windscreen all good, no signs of rust
- new bed liner in load area
Good to know:
- newer front doors but some sign of aluminum corrosion (see picture)
- miles 300K +, no service history
- 2nd row doors decent but have some rust repairs, ok, but not the best job.
- floor boards on both sides solid but repaired, ok, but not the best job
- little dent on rear quarter panel, driver side (see picture)
- head liner, home made
-
All together a nice car but not perfect, mainly cosmetically. Can be a daily driver from day one.
Mileage is high but my experience is that with cars like this, engine or transmission have been replaced already or maybe even more often. Have seen plenty of lower miles cars which are mechanically much worse.
Color is not factory. It is close to Epson green but this one is not metallic. Maybe British Racing Green. Engine room and interior are still factory, Coniston green.
Price includes shipping to the East Coast, doesn’t not include handling fees and duties.
Car is still in The Netherlands, can ship direct from there but I also might bring it in my next container for delivery around February in Michigan.
