Rare 2000 Model Factory 300Tdi – UN Spec

Unique Yellow Exterior and Contrasting Check Pattern Interior

What makes this Defender unique? Let's start from the beginning … the Defender was special ordered by the UN to the Balkans where it spent the start of its life in Croatia. Built on December 7, 1999 in the Solihull, UK Land Rover assembly plant as a 2000 model year. Delivered to Tomic & Company, the Croatian Land Rover dealer, in Zagreb for use by the UN. NGO, Government, and militaries could still order a factory built Defender with the reliable mechanical 300Tdi engine. Production of the 300Tdi for civilians ceased in October of 1998 making this a rare factory order. The Defender was purchased out of Croatia in 2017, restored, and sold to a collector in Belgium. Car Cave purchased this Defender in Belgium when it became import eligible late last year.

The Defender now features an upgrade 300Tdi engine, automatic transmission, and transfer box from a Land Rover Discovery. The Discovery 300Tdi has an increase in horsepower and different transfer box gear ratio to adjust for the automatic transmission. And don’t worry, this Defender was imported legally to the US as the drivetrain was installed here at Car Cave USA.

The older restoration work has held up well over the years as this vehicle was lightly driven and garage kept. The Defender was resprayed in pale yellow which included color matched fender flares, chequere plate, grill, and headlamp finishers with a contrasting white roof paired to white factory 16” steel wheels. The interior was refinished in tan canvas with a check black and white pattern insert on the seats and door cards. A Discovery I center console was used for the automatic shifter. The entire build is classy and completes a traditional look with a bonnet mounted spare tire. The white steel wheels have a set of Michelin 7.50R16 4x4 (the old school style) tires mounted which are showing age. We are including a $800 tire allowance for the next owner to pickup a new set of rubber.

When we installed the drivetrain a complete engine reseal and new fluids were put in. This included a rear main seal, transmission seal, lift pump, vacuum pump, valve cover gasket, upgraded intercooler hoses, fuel filter, radiator, and serpentine belt. The transmission was serviced with a filter kit and seals prior to installation. The front end was repaired and upgraded including greasing the front swivels, HD steering rods, and an alignment. We replaced the rear fulcrum ball joint, a new fog lamp switch, and made sure to tie in all of the proper gauges on the dash.
