You can go to Gulf Star trading in Sharja Industrial 1 - They have LR & Britpart parts in stock but behind the counter. Just go in and ask for the parts. if they are in stock they bring them out from the back.

Thanks Basra ... nice name in fact Basra is almost my second home! I spend more time in Jazaier than in abu Dhabi, ha ha

Ah ha! I saw your posts on the UAE Owners Club ... you should really just sell it to me when you get it running.

But wait... there's MORE!

This is a CONFIRMED SCAM. Here is the reply I got from Berkshire Land Rover today:

Hi ADCabanaboy

Thank you for alerting us to this. Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened in the Middle East and we have also had instances from the Far East, Africa and even the UK. I guess that is the risk when we produce such nice vehicles.

Regards

2. When I wrote this is the reply I got:

Thanks for your interest in my 1985 Land Rover Defender. It is in excellent condition, has 2,560 mile, Automatic transmission, no damages, non smoker, it has the technical book and all papers. The car has never been involved in accidents.

The car is located in Newcastle, England because I just finished the divorce with my husband and I have moved here with my work. The car is registered on my name, so when you will receive it you will don't have to pay any additional import or customs taxes. I am under enormous time pressure cause I need to sell it fast, that being the reason for selling it so low. I tried to sell it to a local dealer but they told me they can't not accept it in UK because of the left hand drive and because is not registered here. The total price is $32000 USD and the shipping cost is included.

Because it is a large transaction, we will complete the deal only using an authorized third part like eBay because I already prearranged the whole process with them, using their eBay protection program.

I also need your full name, address and phone number to make the bill of sale in a presents of a public notary. After this i will registere it to the Court of Queen's Bench for the district of Newcastle, NE1 5AE, United Kingdom.

I`m waiting for your reply as soon as possible.

Best Regards

3. WHAT I LEARNED. This car is actually for sale on Ebay by the famous Berkshire Land Rover in England and is listed as a custom for over $200,000. the wanker didn't even have the decency to

The person is using the REAL Berkshire listing to rip you off of a non-existant car. DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS ADVERTISEMENT!!!

If you see a real 130 on the streets in the UAE then call me but avoid the Internet. It is a massive ripoff waiting to happen.

So What ever happened to this one ... you guys bought it but you left in the part where the owner had to leave the country. It looks like it needs a total rebuild. What was the asking price anyway. You need to keep the board up to date on your cars man!

I agree with Sohail. I have bought three cars from individual sellers and each was great and the owners got what they asked. What I cannot stand is people who advertise like owners and then you find they are dealers. Yeesh!

For gods sake man. Give that truck a good name and post it here!

Thanks Mike. It took only three days on the board to sell. It is pretty much sold pending funds for almost all of what I asked. Turns out Defender 110s pre-Tdic CSWs are super rare here (LOTS OF PICK UPS!!) and the TD5 is the last rover engine that can be worked on by a man without a super computer. I have been hunting for five years and only got my cars through the Emirati grapevine or this board. Still hunting for two more - a pre-88 D130 and D110 doublecabs! A man can never have enough Defenders.

Abu Askoor in Mussafah next to ARB (look for the Defenders or Range Rovers on the side street) is pretty cheap and does good work.

Still on the Hunt for any LR Defender 110s, 110 Crew cabs or 130 CREW CABs 1983-1988!! If you see one, tell me as I am buying and paying pretty good prices. I'll even pay a commission to anyone who finds me one that I end up buying. Get your kids and friends to go Defender spotting. These are not for resale but for fun. I have two more to find before I go home and my kids need cars.

Here it is MEN!!

The DEFENDER 110 several of you were all waiting for for me to put up for sale.

ITS A TOTAL MAN'S CAR!

Its made for doing MANLY things, in MANLY places while driving and acting LIKE A MAN!!

Wanted List:

1984-88 D 110 Double cab Pick up

1984-88 D 110 CSW

1984-88 D 130 in any configuration!

If anyone sees either of these available and in good condition let me know!

Too. Much. Awesome. Must resist ... Till trials end!

My 2005 110 is not really expensive to maintain. I just took it to 80,000 Km service. That was expensive because I took it to Premier motors which is a dealer. Diesel cost is the kicker, especially when I go to Dubai. I used 100 AED per week. Oil and the rest are cheap. If you have a major failure then only because there are few places to maintain it properly yuou might pay a bit. My cheep 2003 Peugeot 307 was ALWAYS broken and cost us HEAPS of money! The Den-Den just goes and goes.

It IS nice ... was it ever sold?

Hi There, just curious to know why only 83-89 model????

These are the only real overseas Defenders you can import into North America (apart from the odd 1997 Japanese D90). I could buy an older one in the UK but then I'd miss all the fun of fixing it up here. I have a 2005 D110 TD5 (she's super sweet and looooowww milage) but I cannot take it home so one of you is going to get very lucky next year.

I have a '89 110, ex UAE military. It's currently a V8, but I have the kit and an engine from the UK to fit a Mazda 3.0 turbo diesel. This is a Perkins design, and the diesel to fit if you want megga torque and reasonable economy. I was modifying the vehicle for serious long distance expeditions, but my plans have changed. It has pages of mods, and I'm willing to talk, but the accessories are probably worth more then the truck, so you may consider it too expensive. I'd have to sit down and list all I've done and work out a price, but let me know if you are interested. Otherwise i'll ship it to Australia and convert it to RHD.

PM Sent ... also I want these cars so i can use them on my farm and make all of the rich guys who live near me jealous. Its a Defender thing.

Howdy Crew. I already own a 2005 TD5 110 but alas, it cannot come home to America any time soon. So if anyone has a lead on a 110 or a D90 in GOOD condition, I am always willing to listen. My wife wants another 110 (she is looking at a refurbished Series III but leaf springs just don't do it for her) and my late teen kids want D90s -Yes, I learn em young!

I want to take them home for a nice life on a big NY farm but they have to be between 83 and 89 to go back. So keep an eye open and if anyone knows that bloke on Dubizzle with the 1987 D90 that was refurbished by AAA, tell him to stop sleeping and throw a bone my way if he hasn't sold it.

My name is Malcolm and I am a Den-Den-oholic. I am an American with wife and two university aged kids with a 2005 TD5 Defender 110 with expedition kit in Abu Dhabi. Use it as daily runner and out occassionally with AD 4x4. Heading to China in a year with it. I am here to sate my unquenchable thirst for three more Defender 100s to bring back home to America... ha ha!
