Special Attributes that make this vehicle stand out
Hello! Hope that this finds you most well, in health, and in joy!
This vehicle is a direct import from the island nation of Sri Lanka. Traditionally referred to as “the pearl of the Indian Ocean,” the nation is also a former British colony—hence, there is a prestige that has been associated with this vehicle, particularly among the nobility there.
This vehicle has a very rare 2.5L, 4-cylinder, 300 TDi engine conversion, meaning it has been converted from the original gasoline engine to a solid, highly desired, easily home repairable, dependable engine, especially for any off roading adventures that may spring to mind.
This vehicle has undergone a full-body paint job and a complete interior makeover, all the while retaining original design specifications for the 1984 Defender. Basically, it looks like an original interior, with all the good, comfy perks of a modern, custom, premium interior. This also includes a fully rewired auto-lock system for the doors, remote-accessible via the key fob. All mechanisms inherent to the operation of the auto-lock were custom built!
It has also had a rear-axle upgrade from an original Salisbury axle with Drum Brakes to a Td5/Puma Rear Axle with Disc Brakes, indicating a solution to the vehement distaste one may develop from one’s rear differential potentially “snapping off” while one is navigating a semi-legal, river-bed, off roading trail. What, you don’t have one of those lying around in your backyard?
