Ex Army Tithonus 110 Defender: MOT
21/10/15. Only 87000 miles. Wonderful condition - £7495
Due to acquiring a recently
released 90 Wolf Defender: For sale reluctantly, and in great condition, this
110 Defender Tithonus, with Wolf Spec refurb by the Army, including Wolf
wheels, roll bar and internal upgrades such as radiation/insulation kit and
like new Exmoor seats. I am the first registered owner since release. This one
also has the Wolf type side spare wheel mount and (strangely) one Wolf side air
vent to drivers side, although this serves no purpose other than cosmetic. Each
Tithonus Land Rover was individually selected and fully refurbished by the MoD
in 2007-2008 as part of the British Army LEP (life extension programme).
The project was to extend the
overall service life of the Land-Rovers by 10 years, from 20 to 30 years.
However, most, as with this one, were released from service 5 years later.
Features include:
2.5ltr NAD engine; 5 speed LT77
gearbox,
Hi/Low transfer box; Centre Diff
lock
Front disc brakes
Fully integrated Wolf Roll Cage
including front external and rear internal hoop system
Heavy duty 16 inch Wolf rims &
good 7.50R16 Michelin XZL tyres
Updated Exmoor front seats with
headrest; Front and rear rubber sound proofing matting. Exmoor Military
Radiator Muff.
Chequer plating to sills and
bonnet. Wolf Hard Top, with Army Anti Radiation/Insulation Kit fitted.
All panels are straight and the
paintwork is as expected with newly released Army vehicles, with the odd
imperfection of Nato Green here and there. Chassis and Bulkhead superb, and
fully waxoyled in October. Also, new Cambelt and full service on first
registration in October. These vehicles do not come with power steering and are
the purest example of simple, old fashioned motoring. Land rover enthusiasts
will understand that. Having said that, this vehicles drives wonderfully, with
the gearbox and engine smoother than Defenders that I have previously owned.
These engines are not designed for speed, but rather consistent, reliable
transport, which is why the Army continued to use them right through the TDi
era. If you are looking for an ex MOD appreciating classic, then you will not
be disappointed.
Having acquired another Military
Defender, I do not need any px, so please, no offers to that effect. Any
questions please email. Payment would be Bank Transfer or cash on collection
only.
