WOW, Good Luck getting that for it...does the guy know were in a recession? Add Shipping to that and yikes.

LOLZ...he needs to edit his description, because alot of people are going to be trying to figure out how the $90K asking price equates to a $50K US price when they are both U.S. Dollars.

Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.
TO SELL, only to a competent enthusiast, a Land Rover 110 SW County 2.25D Camel Trophy. (type as Defender)

Price US$ 50.000, not Negotiable

I spoke to the chap he's a rare car collector. It could be worth over that ammount to a rare car collector. But I told him ebay was not the place to sell and he should try the specialist car collectors.

Thats a lot of money in general camel trophy vehicles are worth £18k to £25k, no more.

I'll agree that it's a bit on the spendy side, and it would probably be worth more if it hadn't been restored. But if I recall correctly, Land Rover had almost all of the trucks crushed after the event until about 88 or 89. At that point, I think only competitors had an opportunity to buy or the truck went to the crusher. It wasn't until about 1991 or so that most event trucks were resold after the event (or repurposed as support trucks for the following year).

Although I think $90k is a bit high, it does make an authentic mid-80s CT 110 a very rare beast indeed.

I was lucky to check one out in person complete with all damage from the event (Mongolia) down to dirt on the floor! There was some surface rust on one of the creased dents that I asked about, the owner said he'd love to clean that up but he couldn't because it had been documented. I thought it was cool how the build by the special vehicles section wasn't all that different than the builds I've seen here-in fact many are better. That CT110 was a forward support vehicle for the Disco's that were used in the actual competition but even it was untouchable in a way.

Are you refering to this one ? Did you look it over in Marshville ? I imported it, here's a few pictures I took. I also drove it about 80 miles and it would go 60 tops down a steep grade. Truck only had 13k km's on it-about 8500 miles

this wouldn't be "RoverTrader's" former truck, would it?

Yes and Yes, that's the one and that's the guy. I was really cool to be able to see one "in the flesh".

WHAT IS THIS KNOWLEDGE YOU SPEAK OF??????????:wings::elkgrin:

a chopped and caged rangie has been high on my list of "wants". nothing extreme build wise. 33's, arb's in the diffs, and an OME lift is an extremely capable chassis on it's own. It's just the weight and bulk of the bodywork that gets in the way.

... or you could just buy a D90 :elkgrin: (oops, did I type that outloud?)

I've drove a Camel Trophy 110 truck as someone in our local club has one. Drives just like my 109 did! ...although a but more comfy...

Just the way vehicles are supposed to look... Not this rounded crap we have now...

 

[R_Lefebvre]

Because the good old cars were all square edged, right?

No, there is a difference. Smart use of styling to make distinctive shapes. Maybe I should have been more specific as to the 90s roundification of vehicles.

I see.

Unfortunately, the wind doesn't have a sense of style. So when you design for low aerodynamic drag, they all sorta end up with the same profile, yes.
