Description

This is a an ex-British Ministry of Defense (MOD) Land Rover. A beautiful girl, she will turn heads and get a few hollers. Right-hand drive. Great for taking around town, in the woods, or around the lake. Kids and dogs love it. Prior owner made a number of improvements, listed below, which make you wonder if it was modified by Q himself.
