For those wishing to share their classic car hobby with their family and friends, a Land Rover would be a fantastic addition to your collection. Laden with your nearest and dearest, a Land Rover is the obvious choice for trips to the pub, walks on the beach, or even to tow recreational vehicles like boats and caravans. Recreation aside, Land Rovers are one of the few classics that are actually useful to have around. Britain’s roads seem to spend half the year underwater these days, and you’ll be glad of the carrying capacity when you’ve got to take your old dishwasher to tip…
While there are plenty of restoration projects around, for those wanting a Land Rover that’s ready to go, this ex-military 1985 110 would be an excellent candidate. Fresh from a comprehensive restoration and brimming with tasteful upgrades, it’s superbly presented and exceedingly usable in equal measure. It’s hard to believe this Land Rover is fast approaching its fortieth year on the road, and besides the obvious quality of the restoration, the mere 19,858 kilometres on the odometer demonstrate there’s plenty of life left in it.
With desirable features including ‘sawtooth’ alloys, Lucari seats, LED lights and an Exmoor Trim canvas ‘bikini’ top, this 110 is eminently worth of your consideration. The vendor informs us that it comes with a crescent service and MOT, ensuring that this Land Rover is ready to enjoy.
