1988 Land Rover 110, $33,000, located in Massachusetts.
The Land Rover Defender (this one predates the name change by two years) shouldn't need an introduction, and this truck is a great example that's ready to be taken on some overlanding adventures this spring. A former recovery vehicle in Italy, it stayed there until being imported 7 years ago. It has since been stored in a garage, and is now ready to see some trails and get dirty. It currently has just north of 151,000 km / 94,000 miles. The turbo diesel engine (19J) is in good working order and recently serviced. The truck has a 5-speed manual, with full-time four-wheel drive with high and low range. Recent work has been done on the suspension to make it a great driver, and is ready to be customized to your liking! Tons more photos and startup videos available upon request.
