I’m the subscriber dumb enough to buy the BE-1 and the Boxster too!

[@LamentOfTheFallen]

Congrats man!🥳

[@Vehicle_Enjoyer]

That White 3rd Generation Toyota 4runner next to the BMW I8 at 11:28 looks good. If it's still there next time. I'd like to see it.

[@collinmitchell9694]

I was just about to say the same

[@valengreymoon5623]

That's a proper Land Rover. The way they were meant to be.

[@rayoakley9399]

Hey there. I'm from the UK and all I can say. Leave the Land Rover alone. They are a heap of shite

[@XBASSMADNESS]

I love this good old land rover I see them in the UK all the time

[@markbooysen9412]

That's a LR 90 300Tdi. The engine is seen as very reliable and can exceed a million miles if looked after.

[@AutoAuctionUSA]

Copart finds can be a treasure trove or a money pit, depending on how you look at it! This one definitely has some potential, but I hope you've factored in the cost of those hard-to-find 70s Land Rover parts before diving in. It'll be a fun project either way!

[@ItMustBeSoExhausting]

Land Rovers suck. I LOVE the Defenders, don’t get me wrong. But they are big $ for anything in good condition and are so costly to maintain. There are folks around me who have the whole rest-mod versions, which are nice looking and maybe they’ll run better, but just not quite as cool. I’ll take a 70’s Land Cruiser any day vs. a late 70’s/80’s Defender. Years ago I was car-camping in Europe and was driving on a highway behind a guy hauling sheep in his old 4-door Defender. Now, that’s how it should be used!

[@zaphodbeeblebrox6627]

The 'Checker plate' on the Defenders hood and front wings is quite a common after market mod. They're tough old 4X4s and they can take the weight of an adult standing on them, though I don't think they ever came from the factory that way. The most reliable ones are really the older 4 cylinder models. Reg: E251 LJE is a 2.5 lter diesel, last change of ownership in the UK was Sept 2012 and its average yearly mileage up to its last annual MOT Sept 2015( vehicle test) was 7500 miles a year. After that presumably it was exported, ending up in the US.

[@MiniMicroMan1]

That Defender had its UK plates in the back E251LJE. Its recorded as being first registered on the 1st September 1987 and its a 2494cc Diesel. It last passed its UK MOT (a check to see if its safe to use on the road) in 2014 having done 202598 miles.

[@toolzshed]

Whoa the Land Rover is bad ass 🤘🏽🔥

[@Rouxenator]

The Defender 90 (90 inch wheelbase) only came out in 1984 if I am not mistaken.

[@markbooysen9412]

The 90 was manufactured until 2016. The defender is VERY popular here in South Africa. I owned a 2001 model and I can tell you it's truly the best 4x4 by far

[@Rouxenator]

@@markbooysen9412 same, my dad used a 110 bakkie on our farm for a while. A friend of mine still has a 130 double cab.

[@movieguy1985]

Guy I worked with had an Audi crossover thing...fuel injection quit. Borrowed a newer Range Rover...it stopped running. Borrowed a beat up 2010 Crown Vic and drove it for months before getting the Audi and Range Rover fixed. Sometimes simple and cheap is just better.

the earky land rover discoveries are nice. They drive as good as any car on the road. I had three of them and they are so expensive to work on if you can find someone.

The Land Rover Defender belongs to after 1983, or known as 90...short wheeled base model...nothing fantastic but it's a work horse 🐎 😀...the little white Nissan tiny car is a good buy 👌

He's the one that sold the Nissan. He was saying goodbye to it.

[@TheHyper777]

Finally a defender been asking for ages, I have 1994 defender 90 in white exactly the same as this one ❤

[@harveybold6981]

They made the Land Rover Defender up until 2016 in the UK, all the way from 1984 when it became the Defender instead of the Land Rover Series I/II/III. That one will probably be a UK import being RHD. It is rare to see an automatic one to be honest. In the later years you could only get them with a manual, paired with a 2.2 diesel inline 4 (also used in the Evoque & Freelander in the UK at the time). Examples from the mid 00s came with the 2.5 TD5 inline 5 diesel engine.

[@outlet6989]

Hi Randy, I enjoy your videos so much. The first thing I do in the morning is to look at the notifications. I hope you have a new video. The rear of that Land Rover looks more like a School Bus to me. That RANGEROVER! One item you might consider placing in your bag is a Biohazard face mask. Have you ever considered putting a date stamp on your videos? I would like to see when you made your videos.

[@blulaw17]

Randy you crack me up!!!! 😂

[@jaypence332]

Randy by the black 2013 explorer I have the same one, bring it to the channel and flip it!!!!! Please buy it Randy please, give it a new life a new beginning for the old ford!!!! Give it the Randy sheer shine!!!

[@beckystaggs7116]

Wow I didn’t know they made an electric ford focus. I have a ‘12 focus and I love it for the most part lol had to put some money on it but it is for stuff that is a wear and tear problem. Going to get my wiper blade motor looked at and the blend door actuator looked at. But my amazing mechanic is able to work with me on payment plans

[@mikehants2925]

Land Rover defender came in 3 types the 90,110 and 130. The numbers refur to the distance between the front and rear axles on the vehicle I think that looks like a 110

[@beckwinckler2688]

hey Randy, could you look at that 3rd gen 4runner that was by the i8 at the video 11:30 thanks

[@2003cobramustang]

That old Land Rover is so cool. New one no thanks. So true Randy i always take good care of my cars. That focus is interesting

[@euanbarlow4969]

5:14 this defender was last registered in the uk in 2015! Back when they were reliable with the good old Jaguar Motors in them! Surprised at the little corrosion after spending so long in the uk

He said it when he was Ked over to it that it was sold.

@@cdoggyish I know, I suggest you read my comment, suggesting to buy a defender, and not the one in the thumb nail. Some Americans really are stupid

[@aldairperez5464]

The front end of the Land Rover Defender kind of looks like the INEOS Grenadier, which a new yet boxy and rugged vehicle. I'm not sure if you know about the Grenadier, and it's probably not sold in the U.S yet. Too bad the i8 is still sitting for several months. It was a nice vehicle before whatever accident they got into. I'm sure you don't see exotics in Oklahoma, especially an i8.

[@irinadavid800]

E251LJE was last on the road in the UK before 2015 it’s a 1987 Defender

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. The Nissan B1 is a great looking car that has been sold. The 1987 Land Rover Defender is a good looking SUV that has been sold.

[@williamdeasy7507]

They are your cars do what you like with them

[@davewhite1652]

Looks like a Defender90...the number corresponds to the wheelbase

[@keithvallance219]

The Defender is in really good condition for a Landrover. The doors are normally crap at closing, the engine is around 2.5 litres. They have a cult following and the chequer plate is a normal aftermarket addition, the fenders will bend if you stand on them Randy.

[@kuebby]

That would have been imported, possibly grey market at the time. Defenders weren't sold in the US in the 80s. They're basically tractors in the UK though, which explains basically everything.

[@lane_slovak0670]

That ford focus wasn’t all the way on I think. Because I have a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid and it has a green car with arrows telling you it’s ready to go.

[@natebaker5321]

The range on the 2012 Ford Focus is only 76 miles according to google.

[@1chish]

Randy I know we have all heard the Range Rover stories and they bring in comments mate but I recall you have had 2, neither let you down and resold at a profit. That LR Defender was the car that set the standard for off roaders and has its roots from the first 'Landie' in 1948. It was so good that when LR had to stop making it when regulations changed INEOS cloned it and called it the 'Grenadier'. It was the car that gave the chassis and 4 wheel drive to the very first range Rover. The car that created the SUV market. They go forever and that 4 banger diesel is the 300 Tdi which is bullet proof. There is a longer wheelbase version and they came with a range of engines including an ex Buick Rover 3.5 litre V8. The British Army swear by these things and still use them.

That Land Rover Defender, have a body made of aluminium, doors too, steel frame underneath, think a 2.25 ltr diesel engine, 4 cilinder, 4x4, but also 2x4 driving, its a 90 inch frame, the short version, RHD, think its coming frome the UK. You can take out the window frames from the doors, so that you can drive a little bit more open. Also the roof and sidewalls on the back can be removed, so that the whole car can drive open, the only con is that you then do not have a rear boot to close.
