Vehicle description
Up for grabs is my 1987 Landy 110 with a COVETED 4BD1 “million miles” diesel engine (recently overhauled by the previous owner three years ago @ 360,000 mi). I purchased this Landy a year ago with the intentions of fully restoring. However, my priorities have shifted, and I must bid her farewell. In all this is a mint example of a turnkey Landy 110. Cranks on first start even if after having sat for months, and you would be hard pressed to find a car in comparable condition/shape given its age, price notwithstanding. This is not your average TDi or TD5 engine.
Only a handful of these drivetrains were slated for civilian production, that too online for the Aussie market. The engine is mated to a 5-speed LT85 which gives this drivetrain ample speed and power to cruise at a comfortable 90mph if desired. Both, the gearbox and Transfer case, were rebuilt 3 years ago by the previous owner.
While not perfect, it comes very close. Mind you, it is a ~30-year-old car. It has a few marks of character that can tell you stories where the rig has gone. Give the arid Aussie (Western Australian) climate, this rig had little to no surface rust on the chassis. This is in contrast to most Landy’s from Europe that are flea-bitten with rust. The typical problem areas such as the foot wells, bulkhead ears or corners were left untouched with no evidence of rust. The rear crossmember ends were replaced with 14-gauge galvanized steel, with the remainder of the chassis untouched.
The door frames have a few small bits of rust in the bottom section but do not require any structural repair. The wheels/suspension was upgraded with a three-foot Old Man Emu lift along with alloy wheels. Additionally, the rear springs have an airbag support system for additional loads, when required. A front and rear differential locker system has been installed. A front tubular bulbar is installed that is winch compatible. A rear ladder to access the roof. Additionally, a front runner side jerry can mount was installed with an authentic NATO issue jerry can (not pictured).
The previous owner revamped the interior to include a more functional seating style, as well as installed rear storage bins in lieu of the safari bench seats (which are easily interchanged). He also upgraded the A/C system to a more powerful in-cabin setup. The vehicle was properly imported in 2018, and I am the third owner. It is titled in Washington State (in my name) without any liens or nonsense attached. I’m happy to provide the VIN to parties who demonstrate genuine interest.
Happy to field reasonable offers. My number is 206-605-0510.
DISCLAIMER: Vehicle is sold with a clear US Washington State Title and "as-is". All sales are final. A non-refundable deposit of USD $1,000.00 USD is required with 24-hours upon close of auction by the winning bidder. The remainder of balance is due within 5 (five) business days of close of auction via collection of certified funds or wire transfer. Vehicle is also advertised elsewhere, and I reserve the right to end the auction early if said buyer materializes.
Thank you for checking out my listing. Roland
