1965 Mercedes-Benz 220
Presented as an original, exceptional example with factory paint and interior. Upon inspection, we found the car had been repainted externally without removing the glass, and the interior had been partially redone.
Overall condition was more tired than presented and would require proper restoration.
2001 custom soft top Land Rover Defender 90
Advertised as a frame-off restoration with full documentation. On inspection, we confirmed the quality of the work, supported by detailed photo records, original manuals, and consistent condition throughout.
Accurately represented — a strong, honest example.
1993 Baby blue Land Rover Defender 90 200 TDi
Looked excellent online with strong photos and restoration documentation. On inspection, we found multiple bodywork imperfections leading to paint bubbling, cracks, and poor bodywork preparation, along with aged and cracked window gaskets.
Overall condition did not match presentation — we advised not to proceed.
