Inbound to Houston then heading to its new owner in Arizona! Tristan wanted a Automatic V8 A\C Defender in RHD and that lead us to only two regions, Japan and or England. There were only 499 of these units produced and I managed score a 1 owner 50,000 mile JEVIC certified example out of Tokyo. This one took quite a while to find and couple months to ship but we are finally Booked and it sets sail on Thursday! This whole tariff thing held up shipping since there were quite a few cancellations across the pond. Once stateside I’m going to post some informational video’s for those of you looking to purchase a defender in your area and want to know what to look out for and what trucks to stay away from.

Starting now in 2025 I’m going to offer Vehicle sourcing and import coordinating.

For vehicle sourcing I will be using my resources in Japan, Italy, Spain, most of Europe and anywhere in the UK to help find a vehicle that suits you. I will take care of the process from start to finish. You will pay exactly what I would pay for everything, excluding my flat-rate sourcing fee, which will need to be funded up front. Private message me for details about this sourcing service.

I will also coordinate shipping on a vehicle that you have already found, only if this vehicle is numbers matching. JDM Cars have a bit more leniency when it comes to modifications, but I will not risk a vehicle getting seized - so if this is something you plan on purchasing, please make sure everything checks out first. I will assist in this as much as possible.

***Please read the following***

I only offer these services using RORO Vessels.

***FOR DEFENDERS***

I will not import and or help import a Defender that does not have the original engine the truck came with from the factory! An example would be a Defender that left the factory with a 11L 200tdi, it needs to have an identical 11L 200tdi installed if for some reason the engine was replaced at some point. It cannot have a disco 12L 200tdi because this can potentially raise a red Flag depending on who is inspecting it once it arrives stateside. This even goes for transmission swaps, believe it or not. NO GALVENIZED CHASSIS, unless it’s a South African truck that shipped with a Galvanized chassis from the factory. NO PUMA BULKHEADS. If I’m sourcing a Defender for you, it will most likely be bone stock example with little to no modifications.

***FOR JDM AUCTION VEHICLES AND OR VEHICLES SOURCED OUT OF JAPAN***

I do have a source in Japan that will personally inspect auction vehicles at USS TOKYO, USS NAGOYA, and USS OSAKA. If you have a JDM car in mind and would like to purchase through auction, send me a private message for details. Please note that depending on the auction location, not all vehicles can be physically inspected. With these vehicles only a detailed translation of the auction sheet will be provided.

SOLD!

1998 defender 110 300Tdi LHD Factory A/C truck.

-Imported from Valencia, Spain.

-218,257km or 135,618 miles on the clock (will change a bit)

-300Tdi

-R380 Manual Transmission

-A/C blows nice, cold, and strong. Under dash unit needs a bit of love cosmetically.

-Truck has been resprayed at some point in its life. It shines nice but there is overspray and is peeling in a few small locations showing its original white paint underneath.

-Has your usual dents and dings in various locations on the body.

-Body has almost zero electrolysis rust which is a rare sight to see in an original condition truck (except for the back door)

-4 Main Door bottoms have no rust holes.

-Rear door has rust on the bottom which has been patched on its lower door bottom. Door has been reinforced to hold a tire and looks okay other than the lower rust which has been cut out I believe under its patch.

-Cross member is original and has some painted over rust on the right rear (in photos). Very solid behind this spot and everywhere else on the crossmember is solid without rust.

-Very dry non painted/coated chassis

-Battery box has rust underneath the battery but can very easily be taken care of

-Driver Floorboard is very dry

-Passenger side Floorboard has rust and needs to be repaired.

-The interior needs some love. Seats are worn and soft and the door panels need to be redone or replaced.

-New center cubby box

-Dash top is in good shape.

-Headliner is nice

-Rear cargo area was used for what it was intended for, so it does have bumps, bruises and some aluminum corrosion.

-Truck has rear tub braces

-Rear Axle splines recently replaced.

-5 new all-terrain tires installed.

-Fresh oil change



This defender runs and drives great! As mentioned before the paint has a few touch ups, resprays, dents, and dings. Truck has some rust but none of this affects its drivablity, just things needed to be taken care of over time if that's what you decide to do. This is not a show truck, but it has some extremely solid original bones, and would be a perfect daily driver or perfect for someone wanting to restore a dry 110.

-Truck is located in Katy, Texas



-Will be sold with a Clean Texas Title in my name. (Currently in process and will be available in 1-2 weeks)

-Shipping arrangements can be made at the buyer’s expense!



-For more of photos and a full description check out: www.oldskoolimports.net



-For any further questions, additional pictures, or videos please feel free to contact me directly!

-YouTube running and driving video will be posted shortly. https://youtube.com/?si=j49wfOsDOPUiVJzP

-Offered at $42,500

We just landed in Spain 🇪🇸. We have an 8 hour layover but found a nice comfy spot to rest up a bit 🤣. Tomorrow we pick up the 1998 110 and will be adventuring it back home to Croatia. Very excited for the 1,300 mile journey back. We decided to spread it out for a few days and enjoy the scenery back. stay tuned for some nice photos!

I just purchased a clean March of 1998 300Tdi 110 out of Spain! Factory A/C truck 🦄 with an extremely dry chassis, doors, bulkhead, and it is running its original crossmember which is also dry as a bone. Just like most of them it has been resprayed and touched up at some point in its life. Clutch has been replaced as well as a recent timing belt!

This truck will be coming here to Croatia, and once we go through it I will be posting it for sale with 100’s of photos and a nice video. The buyer will be in charge of the shipping costs/process which I will walk you through step by step if need be.

Feel free to contact me if you want to secure this truck before it gets listed.

I will get better at posting one day I promise 😂. My other 110 also sold and made its way to Chicago! This one went under the knife a bit before it’s journey to its new home. We added some nice white wolf wheels, Toyo mud terrains, full rubber interior sound insulating mats, complete LED lighting, and a VDO Singleviu digital speedo.

A little late to post but this 97 110 Sold, and was shipped to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. As soon as it arrived to its new home, Guy added some wheels, tires and took it on an adventure around the island! ❤️ seeing these rigs being driven.

The start of its journey from València, Spain to Houston!! This will be for sale once stateside!!🌍 🌊 🚢.

IM BACK!! It’s been almost a year, but quite a bit has changed with the biggest change being my location! We moved from Texas to Zadar, Croatia and now live in the old family home. It’s been quite the adjustment for myself and family but we are pretty much settled in now. So now that I’m across the pond I plan on sourcing trucks and selling them to buyers stateside! A couple weeks back I purchased a September of 97 300Tdi 110 with A/C out of Spain!

I love when I get updates on previous sales. This specific rig spends the majority of its time in Colorado and sometimes here in Houston. As you can see David has tastefully modified it and drives the hell out of it! Super cool. 🤙🏻
