Off to pick up my first 110 in the morning...

It's about 4 1/2 hrs drive away, and I've only seen one single photo.

I guess some may consider that a bad idea, so, hey, wish me luck, would you?

: )


(will update later, accordingly!)

Good luck! Sounds like you might need it!

I bought my 110 "blind" from a seller in London.
I think a Defender is possibly the worst vehicle to buy without viewing it. Well, apart from maybe an old Ferrari (l bought one of those blind as well)
Fortunately the Defender was a lovely example. As was the Fezza.
Much to the relief of the driver who brought the Land Rover up to Cheshire from London, as it was on "sale or return"

Good luck if it's half as good as mine you'll love it great choice.

How old is the 110 you are buying?

Old enough to be plenty rusty...

I'm buying, prepared for the worst, but hoping its not as bad as it could be.

Will see later today!

More than two years old then

So, what's it like ?

pics

his, not yours

Imagine turning up and finding that....after a 4 hour drive....ouch !

I bought it.

Pretty ropey. More or less every panel is dented or twisted. Windows leak, doors don't lock, engine smokes, chassis has had numerous previous repairs...

I'm not home yet. Will be back Monday, if I make it that far. Pictures then.

Good luck chap....

Good luck, looking forward to the pics. Poor lightweight in the pic above, just needs a little tlc...

No doubt with enough time and money it would, let's hope it does. They all deserve saving....

Not my photo, but the seller's -



It looks pretty ropey in that shot, and, of course, things always look worse in reality.

I'm still away from home - driving back in the morning, so will do some more shots when i get back.

As per some of my other posts here, i've wanted a 110 for a while now, so was waiting for one to turn up in the 'project' price bracket.

Its a 300tdi county station wagon, with r380 etc. The engine has 'issues' but i have another 300tdi in a breaker disco, so my plan is to get the truck drivable, and then use it as my daily driver, whilst i work out all the rest wrong with it (the seller gave me quite a list, as he knew i was having it regardless, so had nothing to hide), with a view to real progress next summer.

It needs a new front bumper, and the radio aerial is clearly in need of replacement.

One of the front indicators seems to be in good nick



Seriously though I've seen a lot worse looking ones tidy up relatively easily and much tidier shiny ones be an absolute piece of **** underneath. Good luck mate

I bought one like that but am slowly getting through it. You will also.
Nice roof rack!
