LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 TD5 - SAHARA - EXPEDITION - CAMPER- READ FULL SPEC NEW ENGINE less than 20k miles ago

Sellers Comments -
The Land Rover and paperwork is with me, it is UK registered although LHD The V5C is signed awaiting new owner. Interested parties will be given his details should you wish to check my authority in organising the sale. Please contact me on 07565141000 if you need any more info. The following is his comprehensive description of the history and details of the vehicle. Please read for full spec. Please note a mph speedo was fitted when the owner registered it in the UK. The actual mileage is 137k, however it was fitted prior to engine change. The new engine has only done less than 20,000 miles and can be verified by receipts and MoT's which show the current mileage. This is not a toy and has even been to the Sahara. Thank you.

W923 VHN - A brief History.
This Defender was bought in May 2000 by a nurse living in Dortmund, who made a number of modifications to it and travelled extensively, including a trip down to Croatia. He fitted it out as a camper, adding the bed and storage boxes, the Eberspacher night heater and added lights and connections for a fridge in the rear of the vehicle. I'm uncertain of the year, but was told that the vehicle took part in one of the Love Parades in Berlin in the early 2000's decked out with a huge amp and speakers.
I bought the vehicle in 2008 and immediately took it for a biking and canoeing weekend in the Ardennes - for which it proved excellent. Since then I have taken part in the Sweden Off Road Tour, a trip to Poland driving around an old Soviet Military Training Ground, Off roading in North Wales and camping in the Sahara,where it performed flawlessly. The Hannibal roof rack with ladder and swing out rear awning provides sun/rain protection at a moments notice. When the vehicle is parked the tent side can be fitted to the awning to provide a fully enclosed space where you can cook/get changed/keep the fridge at night etc. There is a second awning fitted to the side of the vehicle giving a place to sit outside under cover. (see pics)

In 2011, the cylinder head failed, badly. Faced with the option of a reconditioned or brand new engine, I opted for the latter, very expensive option - better to do the job right first time than take a chance and run into problems later with an engine of unknown provenance. The cost was 7719 Euro's and the mileage then was 78,000. It has done less than 20,000 miles. Since then it has only been used for commuting and travelling to and from the UK, when it should have been doing something a bit more exciting. The time has come for me to pass it on to a new owner, not without regret. I hope that your adventures together are as fun and memorable as the ones I have had. Please see list below of vehicle spec, spares, tools etc which come with the vehicle.

LAND ROVER SERIES 3 LWB CANVAS TILT - EX ARMY (LONG MOT)

Sellers Comments -

LAND ROVER SERIES 3 LWB CANVAS TILT  EX-ARMY TRUCK
                                                ~*~
IT IS WITH REGRET THAT I HAVE TO PASS ON THE OWNERSHIP OF MY MUCH LOVED LAND ROVER. 
I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE OCTOBER 2016 (8 MONTHS) BUT IN THAT TIME I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THE TRUCK AND HAVE TRAVELLED ONLY ABOUT 500 MILES IN IT! 

GREAT POINTS:

EVEN JUST WALKING PAST IT TO MY NEW COMPANY CAR, I HAVE TO GIVE IT AN ADMIRING GLANCE! - ITS AN OLD WARHORSE AND SO FULL OF CHARACTER!

THIS TRUCK HAS ZERO DEPRECIATION AND WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE EVERY YEAR! (THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANY MORE!)

IT ALREADY HAS CLASSIC CAR STATUS AS FAR AS CAR INSURANCE GOES ( £130 PER YEAR, FULLY COMPREHENSIVE WITH AN AGREED VALUE OF £5000)
WILL QUALIFY AS A HISTORICAL VEHICLE WITH THE DVLA IN A YEAR OR TWO - THIS WILL MEAN FREE ROAD TAX THEN!

SADLY, I RECENTLY HAD TO DO A TOTAL HOUSE CLEARANCE AND WAS SURPRISED HOW MUCH STUFF I CAN GET IN IT, AS ITS SO USEFUL WITH THAT HUGE LOAD AREA!

IT CAN SEAT UP TO 11 PEOPLE, AS THERE ARE 3 SEATS UP FRONT AND A FURTHER 4 BENCH SEATS IN THE REAR THAT SEAT 2 PEOPLE EACH (8 PEOPLE IN THE REAR).

ITS NOT THE FASTEST TRUCK IN THE WORLD, BUT CRUISES AT ABOUT 55 TO 60MPH AND I HAVE SEEN 80 MPH ONCE, BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THOSE KIND OF SPEEDS AS SHE IS AN OLD GIRL NOW!

SHE STARTS FIRST TIME, EVERY SINGLE TIME, EVEN AFTER WEEKS BEING PARKED UP! 

SHE HAD A BRAND NEW MOT IN JANUARY 2017 -SO ABOUT 8 MONTHS LEFT. I SPENT £600 HAVING BRAKES ETC DONE TO PASS THE MOT AND THERE ARE RECEIPTS IN A FILE FOR LOADS MORE MONEY SPENT IN KEEPING THIS LAND ROVER IN GOOD SHAPE.

THE CHASSIS, CROSSMEMBERS, BULKHEAD, DOORS ETC ARE ALL 
VERY SOUND AS IS THE REST OF THE CHASSIS AND FLOORS. 
AS WELL AS THIS, IT HAS A GREAT ENGINE AND RUNNING GEAR. 
AS IT HAS ONLY DONE LESS THAN 61K GENUINE MILES, IT SHOULD HAVE LOADS OF LIFE LEFT IN HER! 
(IT'S ABOUT 40 YEARS OLD AND WILL PROBABLY SEE ANOTHER 40 YEARS OR MORE!!!!)

SHE IS SHOWING AS FIRST REGISTERED IN THE YEAR 2000 BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE YEAR IT WAS RETIRED FROM THE ARMY AS THE LOGBOOK SAYS FIRST MUNUFACTURED AND USED 1980.

THIS TRUCK, BEING AN ARMY WAGON, HAS THE TWIN FUEL TANKS, MOUNTED UNDER THE FRONT SEATS, A BONNET MOUNTED SPARE WHEEL AND HAS TALLER SUSPENSION AND VEHICLE RIDE HEIGHT. 
IT ALSO HAS AN ARMY LIGHT SWITCH THAT YOU CAN SET TO 5 DIFFERENT POSITIONS SO THAT IN CONVOY ETC, YOU CAN SWITCH ON JUST THE FRONT LIGHTS, OR JUST THE REAR LIGHTS, OR ALL LIGHTS ETC, WHICH IS PRETTY COOL.
ANOTHER COOL THING THAT YOU CAN USE ON THE TRUCK, IS THAT YOU CAN TURN THE FUEL TANK SELECTER TO THE EMPTY FUEL TANK (LEFT) AND IF SOMEONE TRIES TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK AWAY, THEN THE TRUCK WOULD RUN OUT OF FUEL AFTER ABOUT 100 YARDS - I'VE FOUND OUT A FEW TIMES AS I FORGOT I'D TURNED IT OFF!

TYRES ARE PRETTY GOOD AND WHEELS ARE SIMPLY BLACK PAINTED ARMY ISSUE STEEL. 
THE CANVAS TILT IS EASY TO ROLL THE SIDES UP OR REMOVE COMPLETELY. GREAT FUN WITH THE ROOF OFF OR WITH JUST THE SIDES UP OR JUST THE REAR FOLDED UP! THE COLOUR IS BRONZE - GREEN. 
THERE ARE A FEW MARKS AND SMALL DENTS AROUND HER BUT THIS REALLY ADDS TO THE CHARACTER OF IT!
HAS A REAR TOWBAR AND HEAVY DUTY FRONT TOW ROPE.

TRUCK STARTS AND RUNS FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME, EVEN IF YOU LEAVE IT STANDING FOR WEEKS AND IS 100% RELIABLE  AND DRIVES GREAT! IT IS SO STRONG AND IS BUILT LIKE A TANK!

VERY SOLID BODY, CROSSMEMBERS, CHASSIS ETC. SUSPENSION, BRAKES ETC ARE RECENTLY OVERHAULED OR REPLACED.

RUNS REALLY COOL, DOES NOT OVERHEAT AT ALL WATERWISE OR OILWISE. DOESNT USE OIL, OR BLOW SMOKE.

ALL 5 TYRES ARE 7.5 x 16 AND ALL GOOD.
VERY LOW, GENUINE MILEAGE OF UNDER 61000 MILES.

GREAT FUN TO DRIVE FOR YOURSELF AND TAKE UP TO 10 FRIENDS WITH YOU TOO!
THIS VERY CAPABLE TRUCK WOULD PROBABLY GO ANYWHERE, IF YOU WANTED TOO, BUT I HAVE NOT USED IT OFF THE ROAD AT ALL, NOR DID THE OWNER BEFORE ME, AS I KNOW HIM WELL.

LOADS OF CHARACTER AND WILL BE TAX EXEMPT IN 2 YEARS - OR MUCH SOONER, IF YOU APPLY FOR A DATING CERTIFICATE FROM CLASSIC LAND ROVER CLUB AND SUBMIT THE PAPERWORK TO THE DVLA.

NOT SO GREAT POINTS;

ON DECELERATION IN 3RD GEAR ONLY, THE GEAR-LEVER CAN MOVE INTO NEUTRAL ( IT DOES NOT DO THIS WHEN ACCELERATING OR WHEN TRAVELLING AT CONSTANT SPEED) JUST POPS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN DECELLERATING ( YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HAND ON THE GEAR-LEVER TO STOP THIS) ALSO, REVERSE POPS INTO NEUTRAL ON REVERSING UP STEEP GRADIENTS, BUT IS FINE ON THE FLAT (AGAIN, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HAND ON THE GEAR-LEVER TO STOP THIS)
I AM TOLD IT IS ONLY WEAK GEAR-LEVER SELECTOR SPRINGS CAUSING THIS AND THEY ARE EASY AND VERY CHEAP TO CHANGE. YOU CAN CHANGE THEM WHILST THE GEARBOX IS STILL IN THE TRUCK AND YOU ONLY NEED TO REMOVE THE PLATE AROUND THE GEARLEVER AND PULL OUT THE GEARSTICK TO ACCESS THEM. ( THERE IS A VIDEO OR TWO ON YOU TUBE SHOWING HOW EASY IT IS TO CHANGE THEM ) I'VE JUST HAVE NOT BOTHERED AS I CAN USE THE TRUCK FINE AS IT IS AND I QUITE LIKE IT, AS I FIND IT QUIRKY!!!!

FUEL GUAGE JUST STOPPED WORKING ( HOWEVER, YOU CAN SEE THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK UNDER DRIVERS SEAT VERY EASILY, SO AGAIN, NOT WORTH DOING) 

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS BLOWING TOO ( NEEDS TAKING OFF AND NEW GASKET FITTED, AGAIN AN EASY JOB TO DO AND IS CHEAP TO DO ALSO - A COUPLE OF QUID ONLY FOR THE GASKET!)

PLEASE DO NOT LET THESE FEW VERY SMALL JOBS PUT YOU OFF BUYING THIS TRUCK AS YOU'LL LOOK FAR AND WIDE TO LOCATE A LAND ROVER OF THIS VINTAGE, IN AS SOLID STATE AS THIS AND DRIVING AS GOOD TOO!

IF YOU WIN THE BIDS AND AUCTION, YOU HAVE LEGALLY COMMITTED TO BUYING THE CAR AT THAT WINNING BID, NO LESS!

IN RETURN:

I HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUCK AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO RING ME OR EMAIL ME OR MSG ME ANY INFO YOU NEED ABOUT THE TRUCK.

N.B:

YOU ARE WELCOME TO VIEW THE TRUCK AT ANY REASONABLE TIME, WHILE THE AUCTION IS RUNNING. 

THIS TRUCK IS MOT'D, TAXED, INSURED (VERY CHEAP AT £130 FULLY COMP WITH AGREED VALUATION OF £5000) AND ON THE ROAD, SO TEST DRIVES ARE NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

I CAN ALSO ARRANGE DELIVERY TO YOU AT REASONABLE PRICES AS I KNOW A GREAT, RELIABLE DELIVERY GUY. (I'LL NEED A FULL POSTCODE AND ADDRESS TO GET A QUOTE FROM HIM, FOR YOU.
FULL PAYMENT FOR TRUCK AND DELIVERY COSTS ARE NEEDED FIRSTLY.
(YOU COULD DRIVE IT HOME BUT ITS HEAVYISH ON FUEL AND NEARLY 40 YEARS OLD AND AT 55-60 MPH, COULD TAKE YOU AGES, DEPENDING HOW FAR YOU LIVE! (I'VE DONE 70 MILES STRAIGHT IN HER TODAY AND IT DROVE FINE AND STEADY AT 55 MPH)


PLEASE NOTE:
 IT IS ONLY 3RD GEAR THAT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN.
(ALL OF THE OTHER GEARS HOLD FINE WHEN SLOWING DOWN)
IT DOES NOT JUMP OUT OF ANY OF THE GEARS AT ALL, WHEN DRIVING ALONG, (EVEN IN 3RD GEAR) WHILST YOU ARE ACCELERATING OR WHEN TRAVELLING AT A CONSTANT SPEED.
(IF YOU REST YOUR HAND ON THE GEAR-LEVER WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN 3RD GEAR, IT STAYS IN, WHICH IS HOW I DRIVE ANYWAY, SO I DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT!
ALL THE BEST.
