Hi all.
With the hybrid officially nearing completion, we're putting our 1983 110 County on the market. A hybrid + 110 + old VW are simply too much to maintain well. We'll be listing the 110 on Kijiji soon, with an asking of $10,800.
This truck was imported from Britain, and we took it through an extensive refurbishment in 2006-2007. It has logged 80,000-100,000 km since most of this work was done. It is not a concours truck, but a practical daily workhorse with scratches, dents, and a "used" patina. It is very solid mechanically, doesn't leak oil, and has wonderful brakes that can lock up all 33" tires on the highway with ease. The diesel engine is strong, and for regular highway commuting returns ~20 mpg (imperial), or ~24 mpg (british). During rebuild, several aesthetic features of older Series trucks were integrated into the 110, including liftgate/tailgate rear (instead of door), and dashboard style. The 110 is safety certified in Nova Scotia through July 2011.
I've attached a link below to a web photo gallery. The 110's BFG tires are almost fully worn, but we'll let the truck drive away instead on its (almost unused) winter tires - Wild Country TXR of the same size - which are far better than the BFGs on wet and snowy roads.
