Selling our European spec D90!

Rear spot light
Diamond plated rear flooring

Truck is very clean and starts right up without hesitation. Gears shift smoothly and it cruises nicely at highway speeds (~70 mph).
2 speed transfer case works properly as well and the center diff lock engages like it's supposed to.
There's not much to the truck as it's really simple to begin with; no power windows or AC. Heater, power steering, and all electrical functions work except for the radio.

It was imported from Bosnia in 2022 after a refresh and has been enjoyed ever since.
Currently located near Long Beach, CA.

Very Nice! Is there any rust and or known issues? Any interest in trade?

The body is aluminum so no rust. The floors are clean as well and the frame doesn't show any signs of rust either. There are paint bubbles on the truck though and can be seen in the pictures (Pic 2 near the TDi sticker, among a few other spots)
Issues:
The rear windows don't slide. Looks like the P.O. used sealant to close them shut. Luckily, replacement windows aren't too expensive and are readily available. The hardtop also comes off and the roversnorth sells soft top conversions if you decide to go that route.
The D/S front door seal needs to be replaced (I'll replace it before the sale). There is some water intrusion if it sits in the rain. P/S is new and doesn't exhibit that issue.
Mechanically, the truck is solid. It starts right up, drives straight, and stays cool. Doesn't hesitate and cruises nicely at 65-70 mph. Low range and center diff lock engage properly as well, though we haven't had a chance to take it out on a proper trail. There isn't much to go wrong as they're really simple.
We're really looking to sell, but open to hearing what you might have to trade, you never know!

OG Defender corrosion/rust would typically be found on the bottom of the doors, the footwells, inside the seat boxes, and on the underside of the bulkhead. How do those areas look?
