Used Car of the Day: 1986 Land Rover 110

by Tim Healey

Published: August 21st, 2023

Today, we give you a beast to gawk at. This 1986 Land Rover 110 is right-hand drive, has been converted to run a 200tdi engine, has just 27,500 kilometers on the clock, and has a manual transmission.

The rig was imported about a decade ago and had its fluids replaced in 2018 -- they've been maintained since, we're told.

There is some surface corrosion.

There's a list of new or replaced items, including a new turbocharger and intercooler and a new timing belt. The clutch and brakes have been replaced and the cylinder head has been machined.

The Ohio-based seller asks $30,000 for this safari-ready rig. Give it a look see here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Easy to remember where the spare tire is located

Kwik_Shift_Pro4X How a Versa that's a $18000 car became a $24000 car says a lot. Or even the jacked price of the current Frontiers. Not worth it.
MaintenanceCosts They should focus on major non-Interstate routes in the flat West. I recently did a central Texas trip with a Model S rental. It was just fine along the interstates but there were significant gaps on the big federal highways, which caused a bit of extra driving to reach charging stations. The one public (non-"customers only") charger in the greater Fredericksburg area was very busy, even at non-peak times.
Tassos Real Cars are RWD.So if you want a Lexus, try either the GS, or the flagship LS460 (before they mutilated it into the current failed model)The ES used to be a rebadged Camry, then became a rebadged Avalon at $10k more. Not a wise buy, unless you are a silly snob and would not be caught dead driving an econobox.
Ajla Sounds like the pinstripes, nitrogen, window tint, TruCoat, and "filing fee" is about to go up. It is pretty fun to see a $18K Versa with $3k in add ons.
Tane94 A very cogent article, Tim. Maybe Cadillac needs its own version of Lincoln's Black Label edition to upscale its interiors. I don't know what Lincoln's take rate for the Black Label is but the BL interiors are outstanding.
