Ex-Singapore Armed Forces Land Rover 110 soft top. Right-hand drive, 2.5 naturally aspirated diesel, LT77 five-speed manual. Painted in military green with a new sand canvas hood and new seats front and rear.
In August 2024 it went to Aston Workshop (Car Barn) in Beamish, County Durham, for a full recommission. The invoice comes to £12,825, including 55 hours of labour, and you're welcome to see it.
Work carried out:
Engine - head gasket, leaking core plugs replaced, coolant flush, injector seals, glow plugs, inlet and exhaust gaskets, oil, fuel and air filters, belts and temperature sensor.
Clutch and gearbox - new clutch kit, master and slave cylinders, pedal box, clutch and transfer seals, and a new remote gear change.
Electrics - new dash wiring harness, new MPH speedo and binnacle, military volt and amp gauges, battery isolation switch, and a 24V to 12V converter so the USB ports and the Marshall speaker in the cubby box work properly.
Heating - heater motor cleaned and refitted, new controls and cables.
Body - new canvas hood on cleaned and painted hoops, doors rebuilt to shut properly with new locks, rear tub floor patched, military rear hitch removed.
Wheels and tyres - four new 16" steel wheels on new BFGoodrich KM3 265/75 R16 tyres.
Interior - new front seats on new runners, rear bench seats, new floor mats, new steering wheel.
Mileage: the original speedo was replaced with a new MPH unit in 2024. It read [44,924 km, about 28,000 miles] at the time and now shows about 30,100 miles. As with most ex-military vehicles, the mileage from its service life can't be verified.
MOT until Jan 2027. Located near Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
