For Sale: 1985 Land Rover Defender in Aiken, South Carolina

Vehicle Description

Visit www.carcaveusa.com for more pictures and to view our large inventory of Defenders!The Land Rover Defender - there is nothing else quite like it. Land Rover Series and Defenders were an icon from 1948 until their ultimate demise in 2016. Pictured here is a 1985 Land Rover 110 Station Wagon originally setup as a 12 passenger. Why a 12 Seater? Under British law, the largest of the Series/Defenders technically counted as a minibus. This meant you didn't have to pay taxes when you bought it, and you could even use bus lanes to navigate London's notorious traffic. The rear seats have been removed (we still have them in the store room) this Landy will still saves you taxes because it's now considered an antique by United States standards. Although this Defender mechanically has been thoroughly upgraded. Technically sound and in excellent mechanical condition. We performed a full update of the engine, transmission, transfer box (case), rear axle, and suspension to more modern Land Rover equipment. Setup perfectly to perform on and off the road. Will cruise 80 mph down the interstate to your favorite off the beaten path destination. The upgraded transfer box gear ratio allows for superb fuel economy running lower RPMs at highway speed. Not a beauty queen but a true work horse. Chassis (frame), rear cross member, floors, tub, and bulkhead (firewall) are all serviceable with no issues to be concerned with. Lower door frames and one hinge pillar have some rust occurring on the galvanized metal which is typical on these trucks. Priced accordingly and would be a perfect overlanding rig that you are not worried about scratching the paint if it sees a little action.Engine Swapped for an updated 300 TDI DieselTransmission Swapped to a 4 Speed ZF AutomaticLT230 Transfer Box swapped from a Discovery for a 1.21:1 ratioUpgraded Salisbury Rear Axle with Disc BrakesEaton Detroit Rear Locker with 24 Spline Axles and 3.54 Gears2' Coil Spring Lift with Upgraded Terrafirma ShocksRear Terrafirma Heavy Duty Cranked Radius ArmsFront Terrafirma Heavy Duty Castor Corrected Radius ArmsRear Dislocation ConesSet of 5 265/75R16 BFG All-Terrain Tires on Steel WheelsTerrafirma Steering StabalizerTree SlidersFront Terrafirma Winch BumperSuperwinch Talon 9.5isr with Synthetic RopeRear Terrafirma Step BumperLED HeadlightsAdditional 44L Auxiliary Fuel TankFront and Rear Axle Wading BreathersNew Bump StopsFront Recaro Racing SeatsSnorkelSunroofTrailer Receiver
