1986 Land Rover Tithonus 110
Up for sale is this versatile, tough as nails, Ex-Ministry of Defense, 1986 FFR Land Rover Defender 110. Reconditioned by the military in 2005 before
coming to the United States, this vehicle was completely gone through and is in
excellent condition.
As a FFR (Fitted For Radio)
version this Land Rover would have carried various military communication
systems. To power those systems this
vehicle has 12/24 volt electrics. It has
a small 12 volt 45 amp alternator for running lights and basic vehicle
functions, and a large 90 amp 24 volt generator for recharging the deep cycle batteries
used for the radio gear. Both the 45 amp
alternator and the 90 Amp generator are in good working order. The electrical charging capabilities of this
vehicle would make the addition of multiple off road lights, winches, and other
electrical devices easy to add to this vehicle.
Painted in its original “NATO
Green” the body is in excellent shape and carries all its original
markings. . The body exhibits none of the usual dents
and dings common with these vehicles. It
was obviously well cared for in its military past. It also has the highly desirable removable
hard top bolted over a full roll cage for safety.
The interior is standard
military issue with cloth high back front seats that are very comfortable. The rear cargo area has two long vinyl bench
seats that could host 3 adults on each side. All interior lights, switches, handles and gauges work as they should
and are ready to go.
The 2.5 Litre Diesel starts
right up and runs flawlessly. Power to
the wheels is handled by a 5 speed manual transmission which allows you to maintain
highway speeds without over taxing the engine. Shifts easily out of 2 wheel and into 4 wheel drive. Tires are in excellent condition and are
mounted on Wolf Wheels. This Land Rover
has everything it needs to hit the mountain trails.
With the defender series no
longer in production, values on all Land Rover Defenders are on the rise. Use this Military Defender as is, modify to
suite your personal taste, either way this vehicle represents a sound
investment and opportunity for serious off-road fun.
