Description
This car is new to us but we are now emigrating to Australia which forces the sale. The car is spectacular. It was a former mountain rescue vehicle. Extremely low mileage (27 k) With a Full Vosa Historv and photographs to Verifv miles. (VOSA being the UK Service Vehicles version of domestic MOT, but more fastidious on its checks). It still enjoys a service vehicle status and therefore commands no TAX, though whether this can continue is to be confirmed. Original Puma TD5 engine. With The 5 Cylinder Timing Chain Engine, meaning the engine is totally Bomb Proof. It never coughs to get going and literally Purrs when it starts. No nasty smells. No oil leaks on its history. (A bad past experience forced us to be fastidious about this). Bodywork is pristine all round as it has been kept overnight in a Mountain rescue garage for years. We noticed that many newer age landys were knackered compared to this, despite its age. Clean grey vinyl seats underneath but we bought safari style covers from South Africa to protect. These can be removed if not for you. The vehicle has gone through six weekly checks since new, so it is highly maintained and looked after. It is very rare being a Utility version. The only Utility made that year. This car was built for purpose as a Special Vehicle by Land Rover. Fairly standard model inside, with very little electrics to go wrong. Finished in off white with a grey vinyl interior. 5 speed manual transmission, BF Goodrich A/T Tyres , Wolf Rims, side steps and mud flaps.
