Big welcome to new member @Superbad with his elderly 90 [1984 I think] plus a small post today with a couple of older 110's and I couldn't help wondering who has the oldest running 110 or 90...................
 
I'd like to say this is mine but sadly it isn't:

Mines 1/12/1985, not the oldest so doesn't count. And doesn't run either so still doesn't count. I do like to correct people who call it a 'defender' though:):p:D
 
My 110 on the road in 1984 but probably late in the year as it's listed as a 1985 model.
 
Haha fair enough. Yeah me too, some people just think all 90/110 etc are defenders and ya just can't tell em
 
to make it more interesting, shouldn't the question be original 90/110 with the original engine (not 200/300tdi), etc... :)

We could have sub classes [original, converted, etc.etc.] but we're not getting many of any type so far.
 
My old girl is from April 1985. Mostly original, although rebuilt on to a galv chassis a few years ago. The axle steel seems to be of much better quality than the 1990 TDi I had before this one - my axle casings are fine, whereas the other ones had almost rotted through. Even the bulkhead is passable, though the footwells have been patched.
 
It always surprises/annoys me to see some of the ads on gumtree "great jeep, owned it for 10 years". FFS, don't they get it?
 
Yeah the 'nice jeep mate' is about the worst way to start a conversation with a Land Rover owner int it. Don't mind the truck thing too much, think it's more suited to one that's a bit of a thing tho not just standard
 
I always thought "Jeep" was a regional generic term for any 4x4, mostly up north............... I've heard it used for shoguns and the like. A bit like "Wagon" for lorries or trucks. Seldom hear either down here, I'm probably wrong though...........
 
I always thought jeep came from the original Willys jeep,

My mates got a 85 reg 90 but it's been rebuilt, mines an 87 also been rebuilt,

I saw a 110 up for sale a few months ago, was an 80's but carnt rember which, 1 owner from new and completely original,
 
Mine was original until about 5 years ago now it's got a galvanised chassis and disco 200tdi and transfer box.
