From the seller: “Was first registered in the UK in February 1988, and bought by myself some 14 years ago. Since then I moved to the Channel Islands (Guernsey) where it’s currently registered.
It was pretty much in daily use until a few years ago. My intention was to have it completely restored, but due to various reasons that never happened.
There’s some bad rust around the wings and doors, and even inside the car where water leaked in through a window. There’s very little rot underneath though, as it was waxoiled heavily at some point.
The engine did start, but I went to start it a few days ago, and the starter motor doesn’t turn even though it’s got a new fully charged battery fitted.
I’m prepared to virtually give it away to someone who has the energy and enthusiasm to bring it back to its former glory. Parts for these are still easy (and cheap) to find on eBay Italy where Pandas are still plentiful on the backstreets, autostradas and mountain ranges.”

Some old cars arrive at auction looking battered because they have spent decades slowly deteriorating. This one is rather different. VVR 677L is a 1972 Austin 1800, better known to generations of enthusiasts as the “Landcrab”. Its last recorded MOT was in 2018. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it disappeared from the road eight years […]
Some colours simply belong to certain cars. British Racing Green on a Jaguar. Rosso Corsa on a Ferrari. And Hyperion Blue? Traditionally, you’d be thinking much more along the lines of a rare 1960s Ferrari or Maserati than a Land Rover Defender. Which is precisely why this latest creation from Twisted caught our attention. ...
