Land Rover Defender 110 , 1986, Tithonus, Left Hand Drive Diesel on 2040-cars

This is a  nice example of a X-MOD Defender 110.  It is a left hand drive, 2.5 na diesel  with 5 speed trans.  It has its original chassis , and engine configuration , is 27 years old and was imported legally and properly.   It has only 48k kilometers,which is 30,256 miles and has just begun its life. It was first put in to service on 5/08/1986..  Ebay does not recognize these older vins and I had to put 1980 as the model year in the listing. It is actually a 1986. was imported legally and will come with import paperwork and a clean, clear Florida title.  

This example was part of the "Tithonus Project".  This was a program to extend the service life of the service's Defenders. Only the best ones were selected and then totally refurbished in 2007-2008 at massive expense.  In addtion to refurbishing the mechanicals and giving them a new NATO Green Respray, they received lots of upgrades.  New premium Exmoor "Outlast" front seats, insulated matting system, heavy duty "Wolf" rear bench seats, full OEM Safety Devices Roll Cages, hard tops, "Wolf " heavy Duty Wheels, and new Michelin XZL Tires.   These items make this Defender far superior in safety and comfort that other X-MOD Defenders and a fantastic value. The roll cage alone would cost approx. $5k to have installed and could save your life in the event of a rollover.

This example is also referred to as a "FFR", which stands for , fitted for radio.  These radio equipped vehicles are also in far better shape than the standard, "General Service" units. They led a fairly easy life. Please do not confuse this Tithonus with the normal worn out and beat up X-Mod Defenders that are offered for what seems like a bargain price. There is a reason they are cheap. This truck is  also equipped with 2 alternators, a 12 volt and 24 volt . The second one can be easily removed if desired. This truck is ready to go anywhere.

Being an X-Military vehicle, it is a very simple , easy to maintain , spartan truck.  There are no ammenities what so ever!  No a/c, no power anything, no stereo,etc,etc.  The diesel is Land Rover's legendary 2.5 litre ,normally aspirated, mechanically injected , super simple and reliable engine.  It can run on bio diesel,etc.   It runs,drives,and stops as it should, and is ready for a whole new life here in civilian hands.

This vehicle has great history and great bones. It is  nice inside out .  It also lends itself to all kinds of addditions,mods, etc. There is a whole world of parts and accessories available.  You can convert it to a soft top, add power steering,  change the color, tires,wheels, add a winch, a snorkel, offroad lights, suspension lifts, etc.  We have a full service shop that specializes in Land Rovers and can perform almost any work you desire. The hard top is easily removeable for open air cruising. I have included a photo of another one of my Tithonus 110s with the top removed to show how cool they look that way.

 Vehicle is sold as is, and inspections are welcome, by appoinment.  We offer courtesy airport pick up and can arrange nationwide , professional shipping at dealer rates.  This vehicle is not for eveyone, but will not dissapoint the buyer that is looking for such a vehicle.

Questions are also welcome.  Land Rovers are my passion and I have been selling them  exclusively for fifteen years and have sold over eighteen hundred of them.  My cell is 954-816-8885. Regards,Ken.
