1998 Land Rover Defender 110 TDi

Highlights

  • Ex-Scottish Electric with seven-tone train weight
  • Uprated with double skin chassis, heavy-duty rear crossmember, twin rear springs, PTO hydraulic super winch, vice and roof rack
  • Recently had £2,500 worth of work done, including cylinder head skimmed, clutch, water pump, and more
  • Powered by the legendary 300 TDi engine
  • MOT valid until May 2025

The Appeal

These days, you're more likely to find a Land Rover dressed up to the nines crawling around Knightsbridge than you are doing a day's graft. So it's refreshing to find one like this ex-Scottish Electric van. It's uprated in several key ways, with a heavy-duty chassis and suspension and a raft of upgrades including a PTO hydraulic super winch and vice. It's powered by the venerable 300 TDi diesel - a engine renowned for its durability, and the vendor points out that the Land Rover is rated for a seven-ton train weight.

It's had significant recent work, including a head skim, new clutch, water pump, and more, totalling around £2,500.

If you need a capable work van and have a penchant for Land Rovers, this would be an ideal vehicle.

History and Paperwork

  • MOT valid until 23rd May 2025
  • Ex-Scottish Electric vehicle which remains highly original to its working specifications
  • Just three former registered keepers
  • 224,214 miles indicated
  • Prior to recent recommissioning work, the Land Rover was dry-stored off the road for a few years on a farm

The Condition

  • The vendor notes that the underside looks very solid with a good bulkhead and rear crossmember
  • Reportedly features a "double-skin" chassis and heavy-duty rear crossmember
  • Paintwork is presentable with a few imperfections as you'd expect for a working vehicle of this age and mileage
  • Interior shows some wear but is eminently serviceable
  • Comes with two spare wheels, a roof rack and a functional vice on the back

The Mechanics

  • 2.5-litre 300 TDi
  • Five-speed manual gearbox with low-range and four-wheel-drive
  • Equipped with a PTO hydraulic super winch
  • Recent mechanical work includes head skim, clutch, water pump, and several other smaller jobs
  • New wheel bearings on front and back axle
  • New brakes all-round
  • The vendor comments that the Land Rover runs well with minimal use since recent work
