1989 Land Rover Defender 110 – “Ambulance”

16,725 original miles on a working English ambulance.  Runs and drives beautifully.  Adopted from the Stratford upon Avon Ambulance association that needed to upgrade to meet modern regulations for safety vehicles.  Leave her as she is or convert to an amazing expedition camper.

For those not familiar with Stratford-upon-Avon, it is a medieval market town in England’s West Midlands, is the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare. Possibly the most famous writer in the English language, Shakespeare is known for his sonnets and plays such as ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘Hamlet’. The Royal Shakespeare Company performs his plays in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and adjacent Swan Theatre on the banks of the River Avon.

That makes this Landy, one of the most cultured 110’s on the market. Maybe.  But realistically, she’s probably the most original working 110 you will ever find.

We imported her with the intent of converting her to an expedition camper, but have fallen in love with her original ambulance condition and can’t bring it upon ourselves to change her. We have had several suggestions on what to make her into:

1. Expedition Camper
2. Food Truck
3. Repair Vehicle for Bikes
4. Support Vehicle for Events
5. Roaming Bar
6. Actual Ambulance
7. Your Ideas?

We would be happy to carry out any upgrades or builds you had in mind.

We’ve done a recent tune up, including new coil, distributor, fuel filters, oil change, and overall maintenance.  She was in service right until the day she set sail to America.  What a champ.

Minor Issues:

Headliner sags ever so slightly
There is a spot in the rubber floor mat from the ambulance driver sitting there waiting for action (kept for character)
Minor spidering on some of the tinted rear glass (does not impact visibility)
