For those who are longing for something truly unique and prefer a larger vehicle, we hope we have your attention. This is a truly unique vehicle to take a close look at, and is sure to be the only one in your area. Not only is it big and red, but as you can see, it has a few extra wheels under the fenders. It's a Land Rover that turns heads everywhere it goes. The vehicle you see here is a 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 finished in Red over a black interior and currently showing approximately 131,495 miles on the mechanical odometer.
Clearly the first thing that most folks notice are the extra wheels that have been added to the vehicle. The 6x6 conversion was completed by Reynolds Boughton, LTD. which is a company based in the U.K., which specializes in vehicle conversions, airfield rescue firefighting vehicles, and military vehicle conversions. With the expertise they have, we can be confident that the 6x6 conversion was done correctly. This clearly isn't a one off vehicle made on a TV show for a celebrity. This unique vehicle is finished in a deep red color with other notable exterior items being a black roof, black fender flares, side steps on each side, black diamond-plate panels on the front fenders and hood, and a Warn winch situated on the front bumper. The tailgate folds down to reveal a pair of inward facing jump seats, and a fair amount of room for cargo. Another noticeable feature of the exterior are the exhaust ""stacks"" which come up through the bed just aft of the cab of the vehicle. This is a plus in situations where you may be traversing a trail or land where there is high water. An engine will not be very happy about producing bubbles in the water as exhaust is pushed out, which is probably the opposite of how you felt as you blew bubbles with a straw in your chocolate milk as a child.
The interior is pretty much the same as a standard Defender 110, other than black leather seats which have red stitching, and an added center console which features cupholders. Trips to the Starbucks drive-thru may be a little more interesting in a Defender 6x6.
Though it does look as if it is of American origin, the 3.5 Liter V8 under the hood is an engine that was offered in the Defender lineup. The V8 had about 189 lb/ft of torque and 136 horsepower, so to say that this vehicle is not fast is true. But we know that having a lot of power and speed is not necessary for a vehicle that is built for traversing areas that may not have pavement. A 5-speed manual transmission handles gear selection. A look beneath this big Rover reveals three, count 'em, three differentials, so not only were the extra pair of wheels added in order to have a bigger contact patch, they are also driven by the engine. Toyo Open Country tires provide a big contact patch with terra firma, and are wrapped around custom alloy wheels.
If you're someone who likes to have unique vehicles in the garage, this is a vehicle that is truly unique for you to consider. You may want to keep a slightly larger tire budget, and make sure it fits in the garage before buying. This isn't your average Land Rover Defender 110. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
