1985 D110 with 2.5 na diesel, 5 speed LT77. 93k miles.
Truck was torn down by long time owner in UK, chassis blasted and painted, body painted and reassembled with Stainless hardware. Direct, clean truck, imported from Uk this summer. Owner had health/age problems and sold truck to us. Body paint is hand brush, that looks good and real, door bottoms are restored, floors, seat box, under bed, bulkhead, inner wings beautiful.
-2.5 na diesel, no smoke after normal start puff, good compression
-shifts smoothly, no nick into 2nd.
-clutch crisp, correct
-power steering smooth, light
-new bushings (factory), new springs, shocks
-exhaust, brakes recent -stops straight and short
-rear bed is clean, tailgate straight -needs correct tailgate chains
-rear hitch, fog lamp, reverse lamp, trailer electrics
- cab has good headliner with some overall age related discoloration, dash is straight, with couple of small cracks, has old Sanyo am/fm cassette, one lousy speaker
glass is good, and as stated, doors are great.
-seats are original, two new panels stitched in., door crads have a few dings, cracks
-brush bar on front, hoops on rear (no canvas)
-Disco steel wheels

Registered, insured, will be inspected in Vermont next week. Have all, clean correct import documents.

It is not a Tdi, it is true and real, original truck without change, messed up, aftermarket stuff, conversions. I drove it 2 hrs last week at 60 -65 MPH, it is smooth, and drives delightfully, very light, crisp, tight, no rattles. transfer box fine, handbrake,.this guys work is evident. It is loud (needs soundproofing). has a few normal dings.

If you are a Series buff, that wants the simple, clean look of an old truck, no extras or flash - complete with an engine that has rhythm But wish for the modern amentities - power steering, roll up windows, real heat, 5 speeds, coil springs, more legroom and excellent brakes this may be the truck for you.
I can supply a set of plain steel wheels that need paint -to replace the Disco wheels.

Open to reasonable offers.
Thanks

Have been driving truck, now has 92,980 miles on it.
Seat backs have been stiched with new frabric, inspected in Vermont.
Inspection station could not believe how clean, tight everything was.
As stated, i can supply standard steel wheels if you want original look rather than Disco wheels.
Hoops are included, cab has correct galvy frame to accept 3/4 canvas.

heat works well, defrost, windscreen washer, swivels are clean, not leaking, no notchy shifting, doors close tight, ready to go.

Have all import papers, as well as Vermont registration to sign over.
