Thanks. It's a 1987 Land Rover 110. It is ex-British Army and I bought it from a government liquidation firm in the UK and imported it myself. I did my own frame and engine swap on it so the body and interior are pretty much the only original bits. It has a Land Rover 300Tdi diesel engine.

I don't blog much but I have done a few stories for Expedition Portal:

Nice. I am from the Caribbean and I always jokingly say it is my aim to own a Land Rover series I or II and my own estate.

Its a reference to the colonial days in the Caribbean. The folks who had money made if from agriculture and used the Land Rover to transport goods and traverse the rough terrain.


Awesome cheers!
