110 V8 For Sale

I hope it is ok to advertise.

I bought a 110 V8 2 years ago so that 4 of us could go on a trip down to Morocco and follow some of Chris Scotts routes. I decided that because we could only afford 2 and a half weeks off work we couldn’t afford any break downs and I wanted to minimise the amount of spares that we needed to carry.

I went about stripping and rebuilding the 110. We did the trip last year with complete success. We were planning to do another trip this year but I am getting married and money would be a little tight.

I want to sell the beast and it is good for many more trips and is a good piece of machinery.

I want £5950, a lot I know! but much work has been done.

The full spec is as follows

Land Rover 110 3.5litre V8 Hard Top with rear window & bench seats.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
