Steve,

Thanks, I'm in talks with a registered importer and the broker in the UK now. Some of the lower cost exmods look VERY rough. HOWEVER the difference between a 3000 GBP and a 4000GBP exmod is huge. The extra 1000GBP seems to buy Defenders that are in much better shape, no body filler, only a few dings, etc.

The only thing I'm a little leery about now is the 2.5 NAD, but as long as it can last for two years, I'll be happy.

Do you mind if I PM you with some more questions since you are a UK guy?
