Currently located in the Smoky Mountains of Pigeon Forge, TN (Tagged and Titled) this little rover climbs the mountains with ease and purrs along the scenic parkways.
This 88 is in immaculate shape! The paint is clean and free of any patina or scratches. Amongst the sea of jeeps this thing stands out and turns heads. Not the car for people who like to keep to themselves because you will get attention driving this around.

Jump in the driver seat of this left hand drive vehicle and turn the key to let the glow plugs warm. With the glow plugs warmed up turn the key a little more and hear the 2.25 L diesel engine purr with excitement and eagerness to climb any obstacle. Throw the land rover into 1st gear and take off down the open road.
Transmission is tight and shifting is a pleasure. Climb your way through the gears and cruise down the road into fourth and enjoy the adventurous feel of this SUV. Kick it into overdrive and reach speeds of 55 MPH.
