I moved from the U.S. to Cheltenham in 2018 and arranged to buy this 110 before arriving in the UK in August. It was a one-owner 1996 N-reg with 69,000 miles on it. I wanted the 1996 so I could import it back into the U.S. when I return in 2021. I still need to look into all that is involved in that. At least I know all the VIN numbers match.

Maybe not surprisingly, it hasn't been without its problems. The electrical work in the engine completely melted down--apparently an ongoing issue with wear on the loom that had never been properly fixed. The local Landrover place (not who sold me the vehicle) sourced a used loom and fitted it so that it works properly now--though the repair made duplicating the factory immobilizer fob--of which I only have one on its last leg--apparently impossible to duplicate. We also discovered a leak in the fuel tank, which, possibly in connection with a bad lift pump, caused the engine to shut off when climbing the hill to my house. So, I had to replace both of those. Since those repairs, all has been going well.

My kids don't like the Landy because it is cold and noisy. I love it.

Welcome to the forum

Be careful about what you try to export to the us. There were a lot of problems doing this with tratters. Covered on this forum and the web

Hi and welcome!

Nice looking 110! Did you get it from Tim Fry Land Rover?

Nice Cotswolds property in the picture too!

Thanks! I bought it from Walton Motors in Surrey then drove it out to Cheltenham. Tim Fry did the repairs though.

You brave soul. Dealing with Brits on the internet is challenging enough, yet you chose to live with them.

Welcome to the zoo. That 110 would be worth a fortune here in Colorado.

Landy ownership is something that's very hard to explain to those who don't "get it." Nice looking family bus though!
Straight and (mostly) clean is what the US customs like when you export, so keep it original until then. Mechanically all you should need to do when you take it back is swap the headlights to LHD-spec and a couple of other minor things. A genuine NAS Defender would have also had larger indicators and amber markers up front, but I don't think this is necessary for an import.

Greetings from a fellow Yank in Suffolk!
BTW... nice 110.

Welcome, some nice greenlanes in Suffolk as well

Watch out for the lakenheath USAF off road clubs. They are a bit nuts lol

Welcome Aboard

As others have said, that is a nice looking bus. Our kids don't get the LR thing either ....yet... though .... given they're grown up with kids of their own, I'm not sure they ever will ....
