1985, Defender 110
Right Hand Drive, soft or hard top, 200 tdi, turbo Diesel 5 speed Manual
Ex Paratrooper
Regiment 110 Radio Vehicle.
Listing wouldn't accept correct vin number, it is SALLDHAC7BA250434
Solid truck, 177k miles on speedo but its not the original gauge and was swapped
when the engine conversion was done. 5
speed manual, full time 4wd with selectable center diff lock and high -low gear
ratios
Raised air intake, military style recovery bumper and rear hitch.
This defender was born with a 2.5 normally aspirated diesel. The drivetrain has been updated to a 200 Tdi turbo
diesel engine and higher geared transfer case which gives excellent road speed and is far more suitable for todays traffic speeds.
No smoke on start-up, this engine is in excellent condition. Starts well in any temperature. Drives nicely, very strong engine, nice tight steering.higher
ratio gears give good speed flexibility.
Body is in original condition, started as a radio truck and still has tools mounted to
hood. The wheels are the latest wolf
rims and the side intake molding is also from a wolf truck. Full soft top with military roll hoop. The retainer bar and rear belts are installed
for rear seats but no rear seats are currently fitted.
Interior is ok
but not fabulous, no stereo, no AC. Just
heat and windows!!
I have full
hard sides and a full roof that can go with the truck if desired, a tailgate
top flap or any defender rear door would make a full hard top truck.
I also will include a used canvas which allows the sides to be rolled up with the roof section still in place. .. the coolest summer cruising
The original
worn paint has been replenished over the years, panels are generally good and
flat. Frame is in good condition, rear
cross-member original and fine. The
bulkhead is sound.
Spare tire
mount on hood, Tires are matching Michelin XZL’s, fronts are excellent, rears
are 50%.
Offered with
CT reg and bill of sale (no title in CT for vehicle of this age)
The truck
can be seen in NW Connecticut by appointment, feel free to ask any questions or
stop by and test drive.
I don’t mind
working with your shipper and have access to commercial loading
