1987 Land Rover One Ten Ex-MOD

• Unmodified and maintained in original specification
• In current ownership for approximately eight years
• Right-hand drive

The Appeal

The Land Rover One Ten needs little introduction. Among the most capable and enduring utility vehicles ever built, they quickly saw all manner of departmental use. Ex-military examples hold a particular appeal for enthusiasts drawn to their honest, no-nonsense character. This 1987 example was purchased directly from the UK Ministry of Defence in 2017, fulfilling what the vendor describes as a long-held family dream.

Since acquisition, it has served as a family vehicle on the owner's property, remaining entirely unmodified and simply maintained as intended. Finished in green with a black interior, the vendor tells us that the vehicle is in good overall condition and requires only a cosmetic refresh rather than any major work.
It's a fine, eminently drivable off-roader - ready and waiting for its new custodian.
