They said everything including the 4wd & generator is working and they also said that it has got a winch which is removed & kept seperately.

Beautiful snaps of the LR

Thats the new American consulate site in BKC so i guess this one belongs to the American Consulate. Strange as it seems but from the Navigators and the Fords the Americans have moved to British or rather Indian Vehicles

It runs on Consulate plates and is Bombay based. There are many Defenders (2 door and 4 door) that look like this one in the Country.

Yes but i was informed this perticular site is for the American Consulate. So does this mean i was misinformed about the perticular site in the pictures and is the British Consulate site.

very nice looking Defender indeed - Khaki Drab colour 110 chassis - looks straight out of one of those "desert safari/ adventurer/ explorer" movies!
