may i ask why the 200tdi?
Factory Diesel is the primary goal. And that is the version I have settled on after research. Have the NAS 90 with 4.0GEMS and love it. However ready to try a factory diesel. I was looking at a conversion as I had the FJ62 but sold it on - I realized I am simply a Rover guy.
Your early 110 is very nice looking. Good luck with the sale.

Hi everyone!
This is our new toy... A SANTANA S-2000 the spanish Land Rover. Is basically like the 101 Forward Control but it have a 6 cilinders in line 3500 CC diesel engine

The Santana factory today is extinguished, but in our geography some jewels like this one or the santanas called 88, santana 109, santana 1300 still running ... vehicles dedicated to work hard in extreme conditions
It have all the systems news (electrical, brakes, hydraulics...) We cut the upper side because if you go to Africa and need to take off the engine is easier...the brake and clutch system levels are inside the car (an easy control...), electrical system goes on the upper side and gauges, relays and fuse box are armored to avoid breakdowns with water, the same with air filter and exhaust...we make some holes on the floor too....is better when you cross a river, the water come on and goes...The next step is the 5 speed gearbox and overdrive...
PD: Sorry for my english

WOW! I have never seen a crew cab/ double cab 101. I am in serious desire mode. Me Want!
Nice looking rig, I bet you can be comfortable in there for long stretches. How does the diesel do for economy in that brick?
Cheers,
