The Appeal
If dependability is your number-one requirement, this is the Land Rover to choose. This ex-military One Ten comes equipped with the legendary 300 TDi engine, renowned for its reliability, ease of maintenance and lack of electrical gubbins. Our Landy began life as a military truck before being registered for civilian road use in 2001, and it retains all of its rugged, purposeful character.
During current ownership, the vehicle has received considerable mechanical attention, the details of which are listed below.
