CURRENT INVENTORY

A truly stunning restored Defender 110 Double Cab Pick up (DCPU) finished in Land Rover Santorini Black. This is an original left hand drive 200tdi Defender from the South of France that has undergone a total “frame off” restoration. Its original, dry climate chassis (frame) was given new rear and middle cross members prior to media blasting, priming and powder coating making it 100% rust free and built to last. This Defender has been given new doors, swing out tailgate and Puma bonnet as part of a complete panel off re-spray and refurbishment. It has kept its original super strong 200tdi engine (showing just 120,000 miles) and 5-speed LT77 manual transmission (both sitting on new OEM mounts). The engine has the benefit of new turbo, new radiator, new viscous fan and belt, new hoses, new fuel tank, new exhaust and complete service including a new cambelt, tensioners, new clutch and seals, gaskets and fluids.

As well as the drive train, the running gear has undergone a complete overhaul, adding a Terrafirma Pro Sport 2” lift that includes, new springs & shocks, new heavy duty turrets, swivels completely overhauled with new seals and uprated swivel pins, new bushes throughout, new brake lines, new brake pads and shoes, new brake master cylinder, new drive flanges and 5x new 18” Boost alloys (including studs) with new Falken all terrain tires. The original wiring harness was removed from the frame, all outdated additions removed, repaired where necessary, new style light plugs added then fully re-taped. The truck has LED running lights throughout with daytime “Halo” running lights that double as amber turning lights and bumper mounted fog and hi beam assist lights that are wired into existing switchgear. There is also an Anderson charging plug that is accessed in the cab (beneath driver seat) so no need to remove the seat to access battery terminals.

The interior has been given a top of the line burgundy leather 5 seat upgrade. New Exmoor Trim wooden rim steering wheel, and 5 piece hi density sound deadening rubber matts (includes seat box, transmission tunnel and bulkhead cover). As expected the driving experience this Land Rover offers is very impressive, The original 200Tdi starts right up and settles to a very healthy idle. Out on the road it drives and feels incredibly solid and tight with smoothness you wouldn't expect from a ride featuring its 18" alloy wheels and all terrain tires. Power brakes all round will bring it to a stop in short order and its power steering is light and responsive which is not surprising, considering the attentive care it's received. This premium, distinct, and tough-as-nails Defender 110 in rare Double Cab Pick up (DCPU) configuration perfectly combines the go-anywhere 4x4 image but does it in style, with great features, diesel power and luxury interior. So this one is ready to break necks down the street or on the trails. This legendary 4x4 knows how to make a scene, even without showcasing its fearless prowess. It’s one hell of a show stopping Defender 110 Crew.

This D90 features the desirable 300TDI engine matted to a R380 5-speed manual transmission. With improved longevity and overall performance this has made this a highly desirable engine over the years, making this a great vehicle for off road adventures or to enjoy daily. It provides high performance on-road with the capability to tackle the worst off-road conditions, in nearly every driving environment the world can offer.

With the tuned fuel pump and boost pin it is a very high performance Defender and is a lot quicker than it looks. It pulls like a train! The overall paint and body work is in good condition from the obligatory social distance view point. Its unrestored so expect usual age related marks and blemishes with the nature of it being a 25yr old vehicle.

There is the added luxury of a sound system with AUX/Radio/CD player. The rear cargo area is fully checqured plated and has rear bench seats fitted. It has the added upgrades of clear LED lights all round. It sits on 16” Land Rover Modular steel wheel wrapped with Cooper Discoverer A/T3 tires for a comfortable and smooth ride. At the front there is the added protection of an external roll cage, just in case you end up having too much fun on the trails. All lights, heater, wipers, radio and gauges work, as they should. This Defender is turn key and ready to be enjoyed. Out on the road, it is no surprise that it drives 100% with no unusual knocks, bangs or whines. The chassis, bulkhead and door frames are in good condition and a new rear cross member has been installed previously. The undercarriage has been fully waxolied underneath for extra protection against the elements. All and all it’s a Defender 90 in good condition with lots of additions and extras completed to bring the vehicle to a very high performance off-road spec. 

Distinct, intimidating, and genuinely rugged, this 1994 Defender 90 is the ideal 4x4 to take you on an adventure or to enjoy it around town. Ready for anything, daily driver, mud crawler, 4x4 off-roading or garage queen. Get it into the rough and tough stuff off road and this Defender really comes into its own.

Life’s too short to drive boring cars

We love a classic Land Rover because it has a soul and its an old truck with a tire on the hood. Not only that but also because it looks like it's ready for an adventure no matter if it's climbed to the top of a mountain, cruised along beach, through the jungle or on Safari, or just parked in the driveway, this 1981 Land Rover Series III can do it all. We are delighted to present for sale this handsome series III refurbished to James Bond Spec, for those of you that know, the new Bond movie ‘No Time to Die’ premiers in November 2020. Early clips released from the film and shoots show James Bond in none other than a Marine blue Land Rover Series III. Production on the 25th James Bond movie kicked off, and the first set photos from Jamaica show Daniel Craig’s, retired James Bond driving around in an old and trusty Land Rover Series III. The first look shows Bond driving an open-top Series III Land Rover down the streets of Jamaica. With Jaguar Land Rover having been heavly involved in the 007 enterprises since the mid-80s, it's no surprise to see a return in the new film with this classic Land Rover Series III. 

This Series III is a 4x4 worthy of its go-anywhere heritage, it looks great on the road too. The Series III like this is an unmistakable part of that lineage. No matter if it's a Rolls Royce, Jaguar or a Land Rover, everyone always loves the look of a British car in right-hand drive. So you'll love the looks you get when getting out of the "right" side. This one looks ready for adventure at a moment's notice with the hood-mounted spare wheel, removable half doors and fold down windscreen. It's all finished in a vintage Land Rover, in classic Marine Blue. It's accented with a Limestone hardtop roof and matching steel wheels to finished of the vintage look. That's what makes this ole 1981 Land Rover so appealing. It stands out for the way it retains the look of a true explorer, right down to the details. Owning a classic 4x4 like this means getting the style just right. It carries the iconic Land Rover Series look thanks to a wearing correct-style color combination. This one is clean, sharp, and absolutely rugged.

It has a iconic feel with the thin, robust steering wheel, tall gearstick, retro gauges, extra levers and proper red and yellow levers for four-wheel drive/low high range and free wheeling hubs. You can sit three across up front in individual-style seats. The rear compartment will accommodate several passengers or a ton of cargo, complete with two rear bench seats and lap belts. Its looks highly original but has been nicely refurbished to a good standard. It also has received the right maintenance, including receipts within the last year for basic servicing, tune up, carburetor and transmission work. The interior is pure substance over style, combining the Land Rover's utility and purposeful look with a few useful amenities to make it manageable in the modern world. The accommodations are bare because luxury was a luxury you couldn't afford in the middle of nowhere. Reliability was paramount and as a result, the interiors were made of durable, easy-to-maintain materials that would wear like iron. All the necessities are there, including comfortable seats and a full array of instruments that are as close to basic as you're going to find. It's simple and was built to have a no-nonsense approach. Even the awesome hard roof remains in great shape, and you'll love the added protection it provides. With the classic removable half doors and fold down windscreen you can turn this ole girl into the ultimate open top cruiser in no time. Complete with the very rare factory rear lift tailgate option, which makes converting to a soft top or completely topless nice and effortlessly. The sale will come complete with its original limestone hard top roof and sides (see photo gallery for hard top installed). As well as a brand new Exmoor Trim tan canvas soft top and galvanized frame set. Which will give you three ultimate Series configurations, hard top, soft top and open top.

The 2.25-liter motor is part of the robust tradition of durable Land Rover power. And this one shows the right signs of a good investment in keeping it looking stock and well maintained. It's also relatively efficient and easy to service under all conditions. This truck shows just 71,159 original miles. So you have a strong-running package that upholds the tradition of the hearty Land Rover Series vehicles. The four-speed manual gearbox shifts smoothly as it gives you complete control over the motor, plus with Fairy overdrive you can cruise comfortably (as well as one can in a old Land Rover anyway). These have an awesome look and feel right down to solid sound of the doors closing. You know it's time to fall in love with a well-done classic Land Rover. The manual is easy to use, and the 4-wheel-drive system is arguably the worlds best. All the original equipment remains intact to give you the genuine experience. The result is a traditional-looking off-roader or urban cruiser that works like a real vehicle in today's world. Seen in the backgrounds all over the world for decades, the Land Rover is one of the most famous vehicles on Earth. The build quality is very good of course, giving it a rugged, purposeful look that looks indestructible. This is the legendary 4x4 that has all the right moves to back up its tough appearance. So if you want to go everywhere and look great doing it this is the classic “No Time Too Die” James Bond Series III. If you're looking for something a little bit different, with some forthcoming Hollywood charm and movie stardom this Series will prove to be it.

THE LAND ROVER SERIES III – A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The Land Rover Series 3 was introduced in 1971 and was pretty much a “face-lifted” version of the Series 2 and 2a. Most parts are interchangeable between the 2a and the 3. The Series 3 (commonly referred to as the Series III) featured a few mechanical improvements over the Series 2a. It had the fully synchromesh four speed gearbox that had been fitted to late model Series 2a, the headlights were mounted on the front of the fenders/wings, and the front metal grille was replaced by a stylish looking plastic one. The bonnet/hood of the Series 3 was re-styled with a rounded front edge and recessed spare wheel, which both looked good and turned out to be practical. The interior of the Land Rover Series III was distinctly different in appearance. The plain metal, easy to maintain, central dashboard of the Series 2 and 2a was replaced with a modern looking plastic one, which re-located the instruments directly in front of the driver. This was actually a very practical change as the instruments are easily visible and the whole dashboard gave the vehicle a rather more up-market look. 

In the electrical department the old style Lucas generator was replaced with an alternator providing much better electrical performance, and reliability. The old Lucas generators (dynamo) of the earlier Land Rovers had a poor reputation for reliability, the end bearing being a common weakness that would chew out and cause the generator to fail. This and similar problems led to Lucas being wryly referred to as “the prince of darkness”. So the new electrical system with a nice new Lucas alternator was a welcome improvement. Production of the Land Rover Series 3 began in 1971 and ended in 1985, and about mid-way through the Series 3’s production, in 1976, the 1,000,000 Land Rover rolled off the production line at Solihull. The end of production of the Series 3 in 1985 marked the end of production of the Land Rovers most directly descended from Maurice Wilks’ original sketch in the sand at the beach in Anglesey. The Series 3 was the final refinement of that original and classic design and they have proved to be an excellent and now iconic vehicle.

Current service work includes,

• Oil and filter change
• Fuel filter
• Ignition coil
• New spark plugs and wires
• New upgraded electronic distributor
• New suspension shocks
• New front parabolic springs
• New front brake shoes and springs
• New front brake lines

Remarkably this old Land Rover includes stacks of historical documents, original build sheets, purchase orders and service history from the day it was born back in Solihull, England in 1981. All complete with service history documents, invoices and maintenance. It even includes the original invoice/purchase order from Leyland Trucks & Land Rover from 1981. Pretty cool! When we mean complete, we mean complete, with every single service record down to exact mile and date for the vehicle from 1981 all documented till now. Thats over 39 years of historical documents, which is truly phenomenal record keeping by all its previous owners. Astonishing Land Rover documented history that is priceless.
