'84 110 five door soft top

[Chris Velardi]

This is a custom made 1984 Land Rover 110 five door Safari Soft Top. It started life as a five door hard top , but with custom internal/external roll cage and soft top and 2 part , 1/2 doors and side curtains it was turned into the perfect family summer Safari Rover. It has been completely Rhino Lined in both front and rear tubs, and inside all 5 doors. It has a Mazda SL35 diesel engine (that gets 25 mph at 65 mph) and a 4 speed manual transmission. It is right hand drive making it that much more uniquely British. It has a front locking Tuffy center stereo console and real security storage box. VDO gauges. Defender freestyle alloy wheels and new tires. for pricing and more info please call Joe at 203-626-1699 for more photos go here:

How about just an idea of what you're expecting $$-wise for those of us who like the truck but not currently looking to buy it?

[Hazard]

Who did the diesel motor conversion and post some pics with the top off please. Thanks!

[chrisvonc]

Thats a good looking truck!

[ibjettin]

Might be a silly question but could a regular top be put back on?

[Chris Velardi]

The motor was a kit done by a previous owner in the UK, has a brochure with it. I'll see if I can get 10 min to get some photos of it with the top off now that Leaf Peeping season is winding down a bit

The internal rear hoop cage and the external front windshield frame cage (similar to NAS design) would have to be unbolted and removed in order to put the Hard top back on. To be honest I'd rather have a quilted/ insulated soft top made up for the winter than put a hard top back on it.

the front A pillar cage is way out front, is that custom or a P&P can you take a bunch more pics please.

Unless P&P makes different cages to suit a beach runner, NOPE, the cage I have seats in the same spot as a NAS / SD cage

so you see it too? the piece under the windshield is out a bit as well due to this. It didn't look P&P but sounds well made since it's at the frame. I have a price in mind for this truck.

[Chris Velardi]

It's all custom made tubing . I wish P&P had a bolt on set up to create this look it would have made life a lot easier.

[draaronr]

i figured I had to do one on a series this summer, all custom looks bad ass though, so what gives is the truck here? is it already snowing in VT and you only had 3 pics before the blizzard hit? post them up.

Most of the cages I've seen mount to the frame.

I would like to see the truck without the canvas.

I'll have more time tomorrow to take some shots. Did you not see the link for the other photos ?

no I missed it sorry, what's the key hole on the side for? what's the oil for on the passenger fb? Non rover tranny? I see cdl is gone, what's in it?

oh and wheels are from an RRC TWR or 95 shorties.

[discotdi]

i think maybe it is the old school vacuum diff lock like early rr's and stage one v8. ??

[rovertrader]

I installed a Beta Weld cage 15 or so years ago that was very similar, dropped down to the outrigger. Love the truck, just not a rhd fan- go for it Aaron.

[MERLEANDSARAH]

Love the matching baby seat...maybe that will help my wife see the D110's potential as a soft top. Ya right! Great looking truck. I too am not a big RHD fan. Someone will be happy. Price sounds way better than some of the numbers I've seen here lately.

[Chris Velardi]

It has the LT77 and vacuum center diff lock here are some photos and I've uploaded a bunch more on the Picasa photo album. The key hole in the fender was a former owners alarm/ kill switch . The back up oil I had on the floor were for the 5 to 6 hour trip from CT to Stowe VT for the British Invasion, was not sure if she would need any, turned out she didn't . Fortunately to day looks like it is going to be a gorgeous day so the top is staying off till tonight (supposed to have a nor'easter come through tomorrow ;-(

[draaronr]

looks awesome, can't be a 4 speed and lt77 though, probably an lt85?

[cgalpin]

I love it. That's roughly what I wanted to do with Janey.

[Chris Velardi]

Sell Janey (and the new doors) to me for the right price and I'll make sure she gets a very similar look ;-)

[cgalpin]

$10k with the vgc 2 piece middle doors, new take off tailgate, NAS tire carrier freshly blasted and painted, and NOS POE style liftgate complete with hinges and brackets.

Oh and ROW windshield header bar

[hillstrubl]

beautiful truck

[Ren Ching]

Its an LT95 four speed. Those used an integral transfer box. LT85 is the aluminum cased 5 speed that came out a bit later and would have used the LT230 transfer box. Not ever seen one except photos of them out of the truck.

[tweak]

Love the seat covering, is it custom as well?

[nathanwind]

This truck is sick...if I hadn't found my LHD 110 SW this past May (in Chawton White nonetheless) this would be my top candidate.
