This is an all original (except paint) 1986 Land Rover 127, Latterly known as a Defender 130. Originally a UK authorities vehicle, it was decommissioned at a young age and stored for many years. Imported to New Zealand in the late 90's it was then stored again until 2007 when it was; re-commissioned, painted and used by the Bungy Jump Company. I bought it recently from them with 98,000 original miles. I replaced the tyres and fitted a custom made canvas rear canopy. 

The truck has no rust other than a little surface in the front foot well as pictured. It has a 3.5 V8 and 5 speed transmission that has been very well maintained. Starts, stops, runs and drives excellently. Paint is good but not perfect and the color was changed from light blue to light grey (not a major but can be seen on the interior floor. The original build sheet is still attached to the seat box as is its official documentation (when new) from the British Department of Transport, so no issues with proving this trucks age or originality.
I sent a Land Rover 110 to Seattle last year and the new owners are very pleased with it. If you need a reference I can introduce you.

Land Rover Defender V8, next Range Rover, new BMW M3 share the Nurburgring

Thu, Jul 23 2020

From open-track days to 24-hour races, so many events are held on Germany's Nurburgring track that carmakers need to share the tarmac with their rivals to put new models through their paces. Industry pool days are normally closed to the public, but a seven-minute video reveals what Land Rover, BMW, and several others are testing. Posted on YouTube by StatesideSupercars, the video shows prototypes racing around the track in the mid-summer heat. Land Rover's engineers are busy putting the final touches on the V8-powered variant of the new Defender, which our spies have previously spotted testing in its home country of England, and they're developing what looks like the high-performance, SVR-badged version of the next-generation Range Rover due out in 2020. As we reported earlier in 2020, the hot-rodded Defender packs a 5.0-liter V8 between its fenders, though its horsepower and torque outputs remain under wraps. Unverified rumors claim it will arrive as a limited-edition model to avoid sending Land Rover's fleet-wide CO2 emissions through the roof. And, the video confirms chassis engineers have made extensive modifications to the SUV's suspension, partly to keep body roll in check. Walking down the pits, members of BMW's testing team are getting up early to put track miles on an enigmatic variant of the face-lifted M5, and on the next-generation M3. We've already seen the M5 in the metal, so why is it still camouflaged? One possible answer is that we're looking at the rumored CS version, which should receive a 641-horsepower V8 thanks to software tweaks and a better cooling system. The simpler (and more boring) possibility is that BMW isn't quite done testing the M5, and it doesn't want to waste time removing the black and white wrap. Your author regularly spotted i8 prototypes in full camouflage regalia months after its debut. As for the M3, much has already been said about its mammoth grille, which seemingly mirrors the one worn by the new 4 Series. Autoblog drove a pre-production prototype in June and walked away impressed. It receives an evolution of the X3 M's 3.0-liter straight-six turbocharged to 473 horsepower, though selecting the optional Competition package will increase that figure to 503. And, fear not: The six-speed stick is coming back. Land Rover and BMW aren't the only companies playing on the 'Ring.
