1988 Land Rover 110 300tdi LHD SWThis is a great opportunity to get an entry level 110 Diesel. You don't want to miss this chance to get a LHD 110 that is already stateside and legal. These trucks get harder and harder to bring in each year. This wonderful example will be a great starting point to build your perfect camping/adventuremobile...or you can drive it as is reliably as a DD. Everyone has their own ideas of what they need in a rig and that's why we are leaving this one up to you to personalize and build as you see fit. 100% legally imported and titled. Florida Title in hand. Truck gets a lot of attention and people love these things. Has full length roof rack and rear access ladder. Both have been texture painted black since the photos were taken. This 110 was purchased from Southern Spain in Gibraltar and then riven back up to England for shipment. As such, it is in good shape for its age and was spared from the rust of damp England. We just installed 5 brand new 235/85 Kenda MT tires that look and ride excellent. The truck runs very well and fires up right away. The 300tdi and auto came out of a low mileage discovery and were installed prior to our purchase. The engine is cleanly converted and is overall a nice install. No smoke while running or under heavy pedal. Small puff at start up but otherwise great none. The exhaust has a few leaks but it does not effect drive at all. There is only 187,000km or approximately 116,000 miles on the truck. For a 25yr old vehicle it is good shape. Frame is rot free and not covered in rust. Slight rust areas at the door bottoms, very some small rust at the upper bulkhead(easy fix if you need to) and a few small spots on the footwell. All of these are the common areas of concern with old Series adn 90/110's. Due to aodd design the water tends to pool on these surfaces and cause corrosion. However, this particular truck has a very minimal amount of oxidation. Bulkhead is otherwise solid. Structurally solid top to bottom. The paint is a bit aged in spots and it has some dents, but this is to be expected. Honestly paint and flawless exteriors are not what it's about with overlanding. As is it can be driven economically and made into the perfect adventure-mobile. Since we picked this truck up at the port in GA we have put 500km on it and it hasn't missed a beat. Recently took it to New Smyrna Beach and averaged 28mpg. It preformed wonderfully and got a lot of attention from the beach goers. For a 25yr old shed on wheels the 110 rode very smoothly and was quite comfortable cruising along at 60mph down the back roads of Central Florida. Suspension is firm as you would expect from the OME kit, but not overly so. This vehicle is 25yrs old and as such has the normal expected wear for it's age. Do not come expecting a showroom 110. If that is what you are looking for you are going to pay 30k+ and even then it will probably be RHD. That being said, it is a great truck that is the perfect starting point for your own adventure lifestyle. We aren't selling you just a truck....these things are a lifestyle.
