Is this a good deal?
HI all,
I'm new to these forums and to Land Rovers in general. So I've a line on 1988 RHD Defender with 89k (located in UK). All original and no mods. It comes with a 2.5 NA petrol engine. The body and frame from what i can tell are in fairly good shape (no visible rust). Minor dings for a truck this age. I'm looking to import it to US.
The truck can be had for 3500 GBP (~ $6K). I'm concerned with the 2.5 NA engine. How reliable are these engines? Are they adequate for high-way driving say at ~65 MPH? I'll be using this truck mostly for getting about and camping trips.
Thank you in advance for any information or suggestions.
