Graham Jackson's TDI 110 Defender

[Scott Brady]

Joel was kind enough to do a great article on Graham's incredible 110 TDI Expedition machine. A true gem!

Grahams TDI 110

I had the incredible fortune of being able to drive Graham's 110 during my recent trip to Colorado, and it was one of the true highlights in over 15 years of OHV travel and racing. The TDI motor has great performance and Graham can squeeze nearly 30mpg out of it on the highway. The suspension is very compliant with excellent flex and sway control (no swaybars). Organization and functionality is top notch, as only someone who has spent 200 days traveling Africa can accomplish. Awesome truck owned by fantastic people :bowdown:

Graham's Defender certainly is amazing. I loved learning more about this Land Rover and I have to admit that it stoked my admiration for these vehicles. There is just something captivating about a Land Rover...

Joel,

Thanks again for putting the article together! Hopefully one of these days we'll be able to get together and have a beer!!

cheers!

Yep; there's no question what picture still springs to mind first for most of us when someone says "Expedition vehicle."

You know, I'd trade Jonathan's FJ40 for that 110 anyday!

I was studying online about the history of Land Rovers and the different models that came out through the years.........and came across this great Link.

Great article on an incredible vehicle. Hopefully Graham, our paths will cross and I'll get to see that in person some day.

If you are fascinated with Series Land Rovers, check out the Britcom 'Last of Summer Wine'. Wesley, who hides out in his workshed, drives a LR pickup. You can even get a Corgi toy version of it. Some PBS stations carry the series.

Rats! I know it's been a while since I did any web updates! I swear they're coming. Just slower that I anticipated! :smilies27

Absolutely! I'd love to see your cruiser too.

cheers

Ah yes, Corgi toys... I wish I knew where all of mine went. I had a Rolls Royce, Citreon, LR pickup with wrecker hook, plain LR pickup... heck, even the old school Batmobile. They were actually toys my dad had collected before I was around... but I inherited them.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread...

Joel, once again - a great article. :clapsmile


Graham, THANKS again for allowing me to have a very up-close and personal experience of your ************** 110 while I was in CO. I was very impressed. I knew I would be. I am looking forward to the next time.

...and please tell Connie thanks for feeding me at camp - she helped me get up that mountain the next day.

110's are what got me interested in expedition travel. In a nutshell, Graham's is my dream LR.

Graham, THANKS again for allowing me to have a very up-close and personal experience of your ************** 110 while I was in CO.

You are very welcome. It's been a good truck, and I enjoy it. Kinda surprised more people don't have them. (Not really! ) Your Tacoma is pretty sweet though. If it were only diesel, it would be so awesome!!!!

In a nutshell, Graham's is my dream LR

Thanks Chuck! Land Rovers got me into overlanding, but I was in Africa at the time. I just had to have one for the Africa trip, and they are possible to get/fabricate.

cheers
