Description
The 1993 Defender pictured above is for sale.
The vehicle is a Turkish licensed production model (Ottokar) that was used by the Turkish military as a command vehicle for a mine-clearing unit.
I purchased the vehicle from a dealer who had painted the Defender red back then. So I am effectively the second owner after the Turkish military.
I’ve driven the vehicle off-road, since I converted it into an off-road camper, but it’s never seen any truly rugged off-road conditions. At least not with me ;)
A lot has been done to the vehicle since I’ve owned it:
Engine swap (out with the 2.5 NA, in with the 200 TDI)—the “new” engine came from a scrap vehicle, and it was impossible to determine how many kilometers it had on it. However, it was overhauled before installation.
Pop-up roof installed by a specialized body shop
All wheel bearings replaced, along with the corresponding seals
Replaced the sealing lips on the axle ball joints
New drive pins installed on the rear axle
Handbrake overhauled
Visco fan replaced with an electronic, temperature-controlled fan
The underbody was refurbished in several stages; during the entire time I owned the vehicle, it was exposed to salt only twice (at Autostrand); otherwise, it was deregistered every winter and always stored in a dry carport, so the underbody looks accordingly good
Sound-deadening mats installed
Seats from the Td4 installed
The following work was done on the body:
Stripped out and re-insulated with Armaflex
200-watt solar system installed
2x 100 Ah LiFePo batteries installed
36-liter fresh water tank
Portable wastewater tank (approx. 20 liters)
External connection for shore power
Refrigerator for 12V and shore power operation
Diesel auxiliary heater
This vehicle is a former military vehicle that shows signs of wear and tear consistent with its age and use. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
