We are proud to present a very historic 1986 Land Rover 110, having served in the British Army as a Fitted For Radio (FFR) service vehicle from May 1986 until its retirement in September 2002. This is a nice example of an Ex-MOD Defender 110. It is an original left hand drive, 2.5 diesel with a 5-speed transmission. It has its original chassis and engine configuration. This example is also referred to as a "FFR, which stands for Fitted For Radio. These radio-equipped vehicles are also in far better shape than the standard "General Service" units as they led a fairly easy life during there service. This truck is ready to go anywhere. Being an Ex-Military vehicle, it is a very simple, robust and easy to maintain. The diesel engine is Land Rover's legendary 2.5 liter normally aspirated, mechanically injected, super simple and offers bulletproof reliability.

As can be seen by the photos, this ex-military truck has survived in great order perhaps due to its late release from military service and care. This vehicle still enjoys the military period correct features being finished in military NATO Green, side storage compartments and hood mounted spare tire. Complete with twin front seats and two rear bench seats. The bombproof and military recondition 2.5-diesel engine reads 116,416 Kilometers on the odometer, which is equivalent to 72,337 Miles, which we believe to be original from the supporting documents. The vehicle certainly drives like a low mileage example! These military Land Rovers are maintained to the highest of standards with no expense spared to keep them running in the best shape possible during military service. The bodywork is reasonable, with usual the NATO green paintwork with only a few battle scars and dents, which only add to its overall character and charm. If it’s good enough for the British Army, then it sure is going to be good enough for you. The main focal point for this old Land Rover has always been concentrated on the mechanics, structure and undercarriage, which for an old Land Rover will always be the most important and crucial areas. The bulkhead and footwells are excellent, again with zero repairs carried out. Underneath, the chassis is completely solid and has had zero welding carried out, there is hardly any minor surface rust which we have left in its cleaned state to allow you to see the true condition. It’s quite incredible for a 34-year-old 110! The interior cabin is a clean and smart place to be, simple and yet capable. If you are looking for a vintage Land Rover with a unique history, that will be easy and simple to maintain, then this ole girl is worth considering.

It was purchased and owned in 2016 by Land Rover specialist LR-XS where they set about rebuilding the 110. During its time there, much mechanical service work, including bushes, ball joints, bearings and swivels have all had a good going over with many new parts replaced. During the rebuild the body was removed from chassis and all chassis and running gear stripped back and freshly painted and mechanical parts changed where required. The engine is also the original, which is nice for its originality and future value; these 2.5 NA diesels are bombproof unlike the early turbo’s.  It also has factory power steering, which is very rare for an early Ex-Military Land Rover. It is pretty much still as it left the Army and isn’t your typical dirty and neglected example benefiting from having been prepared and refurbished. The vehicle is powered by a Land Rover 2.5 diesel, mated to a 5-speed LT77 gearbox, it may be slow but the original engine will serve very well if speed is not a requirement, hence why the Military continued to use them for so long. It fires up readily with minimal smoke, and will cruise at 55-65mph happily, even if it does take a while to get there! The gearbox and clutch work fine, selecting all five gears, and brakes work, as they should. It comes complete with all the historic Army/MOD disposal papers and first MOT certificate also. The Land Rover spent between 2002 and 2008 abroad in the sunny and dry parts of Spain/Portugal albeit as a second car whilst the owner was working there. So it has been benefiting from being in a nice dry climate, which is always good for a Land Rover. With the precision of Military maintenance and a dry climate the undercarriage is in superb condition.

Being an Ex British Army spec Land Rover it's very minimalistic and simple, just the way we like them so you can enjoy the driving experience of this 110 to the max. It would make a perfect beach cruiser, mountain crawler or a weekend warrior to turn heads and drive around your local town. Head down to your local hardware store in one of these and see how many heads you turn, as there probably won't be another truck like it in the lot. This ‘Army Truck’ would make a great investment that can be used and enjoyed, ideal for military enthusiasts, families in need of a vehicle for those weekend adventures, or those who are just after a proper ‘big boys toy’ that can carry out a multitude of tasks whether it be around the farm or just going to the shops…why do you need an excuse to own one?! The vehicle is registered and ready to use, so no hassle of registration paperwork required. Overall a very unique and cool Defender 110 that's ready to be enjoyed immediately. It’s ready for a whole new life here in the US in civilian hands. This vehicle is not for everyone, but it will not disappoint for a buyer looking for a “Life's too Short to Drive a Boring Car”.

This Defender 110 Heritage tribute has undergone a complete nut, bolt, frame off and drivetrain/mechanical restoration. Complete with the legendary 300Tdi and R380 gearbox. Finished in heritage Land Rover Grasmere Green and Artic White has been fully rebuilt with a new gearbox, engine and all auxiliary components new with only break in miles showing. With its classic look and historical significance this is a homage and purpose built tribute to the now legendary "HUE 166" Defender 110 (2015 limited edition model). As the name suggests, this Defender pays tribute to its past, but the celebration goes beyond 1983 (first Defender model released), the year it the Defender was born. For the original Heritage Edition, Land Rover turned to the "HUE 166," the company’s very first Land Rover Series SUV. Born in 1947, the small two-door off-roader registered as the HUE 166 in Britain kick-started the SUV that would keep in production till 2016.

While it retains the boxy design and the overall features of a regular Defender, the Heritage Edition benefits from a host of unique exterior elements. First up is the Grasmere Green metallic paint job, which is complemented by an Alaska White roof. The Grasmere Green color is perfect in fact, encapsulating the era of classic Landies while still appearing quite fresh because it's unusual. For the trendy types that fawn over Defenders at present it will be perfect. The bespoke model is also equipped with body-colored wheel arches, a feature that adds distinction to this otherwise rugged utility vehicle. In a nod to the original HUE 166 Series, the Heritage Edition received a silver front bumper with black end caps, a bespoke front grille, body-colored headlamp surrounds, and body-colored steel wheels.

Land Rovers went everywhere, did everything, were used by everyone and along the way became a uniquely classless automobile—even today, that mud spattered Defender you spot in an English village could belong to the local farmer, a rock star, or a member of the Royal Family. Winston Churchill drove a Land Rover. So did Steve McQueen. To celebrate 67 years of production and the conclusion of the ‘Defender’, Land Rover built a limited number of 2015 Heritage Editions which have many special features including the Grassmere Green paint – a color scheme determined by a surplus of military paint back in 1947, a black square on the wing with white letters that read HUE 166 – the registration of the first pre-production Series Land Rover, one of the many neat touches you’ll find on the Heritage edition. With its classic look and historical significance this is our homage and purpose built tribute to the now legendary "HUE 166" Defender 110 (2015 limited edition model).

The foundation of this rebuild is a much stronger, newer and lighter TDCI chassis that was re-engineered to take the 300tdi engine and R380 gearbox. It was then totally media blasted, etch primed and powder coated. Engine, gear & transfer boxes, differentials, sterling box, drive shafts, flanges and swivels have been dissembled, cleaned and rebuilt with any warn components replaced with OEM parts. This truck sits on all new suspension shocks and springs with new poly bushes throughout. Along with new heavy-duty Wolf steel wheels and wrapped in A/T tires. The interior is classic 90s defender but with new headliner, new seat foams throughout covered in OEM Land Rover upholstery and matching forward facing third row seats all with seat belts. Acoustic rubber matting throughout perfectly compliments the rugged nature of this truck and provides easy cleaning. For added comfort the latest spec TDCI air-conditioning kit has been installed that functions perfectly through the existing dashboard outlets (feet vents have been turned to blow cold air up). An audio Pioneer Bluetooth/Aux head unit with hands free calling and pod speakers installed.

This immaculate tribute Defender 110 is only showing some 600 “shake down” miles since its rebuild, starts on the money and will cruise all day long. An investment grade classic that will only increase in value.
