Defender owners are well versed on undercoating... I am not sure if this has been mentioned before but I have mine done by Chris Colvert (Zagato) in West Sussex. PM if you want details. He does an excellent job. I will be taking my Gen4 as soon as I get it.

So easy to see on old cars which where undercoated and which were not. The 20 years old ones was treated, the untreated ones is gone to the scrappers.
Norwegian suzukis were badly treated in the 90 's. They are gone.
80's and 00's are still around.

Depends how long you are keeping it. If you're selling it in 10 years or less then don't bother as you will never see a return. If you're planning on keeping it forever then do it from day 1.

Well, some would hesitate to buy an untreated car.. or pay more for a treated one.
I know i have done that, but i buy to keep for along time and do not swap cars often.

Few would pay more, and not enough to offset the cost of doing it. Many are put off by heavily under sealed cars as it is often used to hide problems.
