This truck has been legally imported and registered in Illinois originally, and is currently registered in Arizona. This is a refurbished truck in excellent mechanical condition with a complete strip out and professional respray. Its drives very nicely and looks like it has been redone very recently.


This truck is in very good original mechanical condition and has had a complete and thorough inspection and service with new oils throughout to both engine, transfer box and differentials. Have also stripped out all the insides, fitted a new headliner, new window and door rubbers and seals throughout, new carpets throughout.


This is the original 3.5 V8 engine and pulls and drives like you would expect with the powerful and quiet V8, the gearbox is a delight to use and is smooth to operate. There is an A/C unit installed as well. The chassis has been well looked after and is in great overall condition and has had a complete chassis paint treatment. Runs smoothly and quietly with no unusual knocks or noises.


The front windshield is in excellent condition. The paint has some slight scratches. Some very minor dings are visible on this vehicle. There is more than 90% tread life left on the tires. The interior is clean and in great condition. The exterior is clean and in great condition. The battery is in good condition. A full size spare is included with this vehicle.

It will require maintenance. This vehicle has been fully serviced and any outstanding mechanical issues have been addressed prior to delivery. However, by buying this you agree that you "get it". I am not a car dealer, this is a hobby. I do my best to ensure that there are no issues, but these are Land Rovers.
