Highlights

- Original chassis treated with Lanoguard; the vendor reports no serious corrosion
- Maintained by classic Land Rover specialists with all invoices retained
The Appeal
These utilitarian workhorses served Britain's armed forces for decades, and finding one with documented military provenance and a solid original chassis is becoming increasingly difficult. The canvas-top configuration adds to the authentic military character and, in civilian life, makes them wonderful summer transport.
This example served with the 18th Transport & Movement Squadron, Royal Logistics Corps, from June 1986 until its disposal in December 2011, carrying the military registration 67 KF 52. Its history is confirmed by an MOD letter and MERLIN printout, and notably, its engine was replaced by the military before disposal. Since entering civilian life, it has been looked after by classic Land Rover specialists Black 90 in Doncaster and The Motorist in Sherburn in Elmet, with all maintenance documentation and invoices retained.
The vendor describes it as a great driver that starts reliably even in the depths of winter and has never let them down. With an MOT valid until October 2026 and recent mechanical work, including a major service and new rear brakes, this is a usable, well-documented ex-military Ninety ready for its next keeper.
