Name: Muddy Boots

Model: Land Rover (Defender) 90

Manufactured: 1985 in Solihull in the West Midlands U.K.

Early modifications: different engine (200tdi), rollbar, winch and towbar.

Recent developments: Emigrated to the Netherlands in 2010. This was quite a culture shock – they all drive on the wrong side of the road! My owners helped out by converting me to left-hand-drive, as well as a good old-fashoined tectyl treatment. Always a good thing!

Current situation: Daily driver as well as CT 2011 survivior and plenty of use offroad….
