1985 Land Rover Defender 110 Diesel EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE Up for sale is a very nice example of a Land Rover 110 pickup! This is a LEFT HAND DRIVE 2.5 Diesel pickup with a 5spd standard transmission. This little Land Rover runs excellent, starts on the coldest days without issue and will run the Interstate at 65-70 mph all day long while averaging approximately 30 mpg! The roof top is also easily removed for that convertible top feeling. The clutch operates as it should, the transmission shifts smoothly. The truck drives smoothly down the road with no excessive play in the steering and tracks nice and straight. The 16 inch classic steel wheels are shod with tires in good condition. The front two tires have approximately 60% tread remaining and the rear tires (different brand from the front tires) have approximately 70% tread remaining. The truck had been painted 7-10 years ago and is holding up well. Of course it is a 29 year old vehicle and as such it does have some minor blemishes and doors dings, etc... The bulkhead appears to be in solid condition as does the rest of the truck. The frame underneath is also very solid from front to back. The truck has the stronger Salisbury rear axle and has center differential lock. The front brakes have just been completely rebuilt with new pads, rotors and calipers. The brake pedal feels a little soft, however it stops well with no leaks or issues. The parking brake, lights, horn, heater, windshield wipers and gauges all work well with the exception of the oil temperature gauge. The truck currently has 92,532 original miles or approximately 150,000 kilometers. This Defender started life in the British Military somewhere oversees on light airport duty where left hand drive vehicles were utilized. It was then imported to Canada approximately 10 years ago by a Canadian Land Rover enthusiast. We imported the vehicle into Texas last year and it is currently tagged with a clear blue title in Texas and insured as a classic. I would welcome any interested parties to view the vehicle in person. Would make an excellent hunting, farm, classic cruiser or expedition truck! May be able to assist with shipping.. Sold as is, really great find!
