Description
1985 Land Rover 110 County Station Wagon
With
new 300 TDI engine fitted in 2010 and three previous owners
Rugged
workhorse and one of the most honest vehicles ever made, the Land Rover
Defender has become the icon it is for good reason.
This 37 year old
example is not so far off becoming tax and MOT exempt (just another 3 years or
so to go) and still has plenty of life left in it.
It would probably
have been fitted with a normally aspirated 2.5-litre diesel when new, an
engine that was so unstressed it was virtually impossible to wear out.
This vehicle however has received a new 300TDi unit, a lusty
turbocharged version used by Land Rover from 1990 onwards which is arguably the
best diesel they ever fitted - economical, torquey and ever-lasting. This
Landy has covered around 40,000 miles on this new unit which we are told was
installed in 2010.
The new engine was fitted by Roean, Telford and it
comes with some service history through Roean. Its most recent MOT
expired in Dec 2020 showing two advisories for a rusty spring and extensive
underbody repairs - so it will need to be presented once more before hitting the
road. There are 14 old MOTs in the file and a few older invoices.
We
have counted 11 seats if you are close friends and it carries a useful roof
rack up top accessible by ladder from the rear. There are work lights, tow eyes,
light guards, side steps and a tow bar.
The chassis and bulkhead
look reasonably sound, although there is plenty of corrosion over the vehicle
witnessed in the photos, still, its guide price is very modest and it has all
the makings of a terrific workhorse for not a huge outlay.
