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
