It all starts with the heart — the original 3.5L Rover V8, now performance-built and breathing through an Edelbrock 500 CFM carburettor.
Instant throttle response, deep exhaust note, and the unmistakable mechanical feel that modern SUVs have long forgotten.This isn’t just a restored 110 — it’s a re-engineered one.
High-compression pistons, a performance camshaft, and uprated intake manifold transform the classic V8 into something truly alive.Paired with its short-wheelbase agility and lightweight 3-door setup, it feels raw, analog, and beautifully balanced — a proper old-school Land Rover, but sharper in every way.Finished in Bronze Green over Denim Twill, this One Ten is more than a truck — it’s a tribute to the era when driving was about connection, not convenience.📍Located in Connecticut, USA
