Description:

Land Rover 110 Station Wagon
(I had to list it as 1980 as Ebay wouldn't accept a UK vin number, but it's a 1990 build)

In the UK, but can deliver free to Southampton docks and can put you in touch with a US Land Rover specialist (in Ohio) who can help with the shipping.

A civilian spec 12v vehicle supplied to the RAF in White, then repainted airfield yellow, then military green when allocated to Mountain Rescue.
Bodywork & cosmetics as you would imagine of a 27 year old, ex military, Land Rover but fully presentable and no issues needing immediate attention. Fully usable immediately and capable of being put to work straight away.

Please ask any questions, thank you. Available for any inspection. Many more photos available by email. Happy to listen to offers and as a Land Rover enthusiast for many years, I can help make any arrangements for upgrades or cosmetics etc before shipping.
I completely understand It's a huge deal considering buying a vehicle on the other side of the world (I get it has have bought in the US and shipped over here so know the stress and frustration of the process!), so please drop me a line to chat, happy to give you my personal email and phone numbers to discuss anything at all.
Please remember this is a 27 year old, un-restored, ex military Land Rover. It rattles and creaks and groans, it will never win a beauty contest and it's been used by the RAF for what it was designed for, so please don't expect a pristine $100k car! It starts, runs drives, and I guarantee it will make you smile. I wouldn't hesitate to take it from coast to coast tomorrow which it would do effortlessly. I've driven it round Normandy on a battlefield tour with all the family on board and it performed brilliantly including very poignant visits to Utah & Omaha beaches.
Happy to listen to offers. And might do a deal with a high spec Discovery 2, M38A1 Jeep, Willys Jeep, Dodge WC51 or WC52 Ambulance. Thanks for looking and please drop me a line anytime.
