Vehicle description
1993 RHD Snatch 1.5 V8 only 73,000 miles
This Snatch 1.5 has combat history in North Ireland, Kosovo, Bosons and Iraq. It is in unrestored cosmetic condition but completely restored mechanically. We have it’s entire military records including mechanical records! I’ve never seen this before with a Snatch or really 99% of the ex mod’s we get in.
Has fresh MOT New transfer box and output shaft Gearbox reconditioned in 2004 New turn key engine in 2004 very few miles since New alternator New front and rear prop shafts New shocks Polly Steamed and waxoiled chassis New poly bushes fitted to panard along with radius and trailing arms New front windows
Great chassis always waxoiled and bulkhead which have been very well protected. The 3.5 engine is a sweet runner with some upgrades to the carburetor cruising at 70mph getting 10-12mpg This will make an excellent daily driver. AC and all electrics are in full working order. We can also fit newer style front seat if required. We would really like to see this snatch stay original as it’s such a piece of history but we could repaint for $1k to Iraq or NI specs.
We are also happy to supply and and all kit to give it the Iraq look for the show circuit.
Price is $16,000 including RORO shipping, customs, EPA/DOT paperwork and VT title.
Some Snatch background info.
The Snatch 1.5/ CAV 100 is based on the Land Rover on a militarised version of the Defender 110. Weighting I’m at 9,000lbs it features Heavy Duty Chassis, Front and read Salisbury axles, Armored body/Windows, sliding roof hatch, seating for 8, 3.5 V8 with 5 speed LT85 transmission, LT230 transfer case, power steering, upgraded brakes, and the Espar air conditioning system (fitted on Snatch 1.5 and latter).
It was originally procured for use in Northern Ireland by the British Army and was first introduced in 1992. Six versions have been produced, the first being the original Snatch-1, equipped with a V8 petrol engine. Nearly 1,000 were produced, with 278 being “desertised” and reclassified as the Snatch-1.5 for Service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sadly the Snatch 1’s and 1.5’s are the only version US importable as the latter Snatch 2’s had a 300tdi engine installed latter in life. Due to US customs regulations any Rover entering the US needs the original engine type fitted at time of importation.
The Snatch 1.5 makes a great daily driver Rover. It may weigh a lot but still cruises at 75 and us quiet enough to have a normal conversation in. The AC and heat also works great in these Rover’s allowing for year around comfort. The power steering also makes them much easier to drive then the GS spec rovers. They will hold there own off road with any of the other rovers with the help of modern tires. We recommend the KM3’s in 7.5 R16. Being front and rear Salisbury axles you can add Trutrack locking differentials for even more off road performance.
For the price point the Snatch 1.5’s are very hard to beat for what you get in features vs a GS model.
Happy to talk Rover’s any 802-324-3370. I have a bunch of other Snatch 1.5’s and other ex military Rover’s. I own GMR 4x4 we have been importing and selling rover for 8 years. I’m walways happy to provide references. We can also do 50% on purchase and 50% on clearing customs. We can also handle shipping anywhere in the country.
