Car Cave purchase this Defender directly from the municipality of Lauregno in far Northern Italy back in 2022. At the time it was a true one owner garage kept time capsule which was fleet maintained by the fire department throughout its entire life. Since then we sold this vehicle in 2022 to its only US owner in Oklahoma and recently brought it back into our inventory. The Okie owner added less than 1,000 miles and kept it garaged when not being driven. The condition is exceptional for a 33 year old Land Rover.

Highlights:

Garage Kept Since New

Rare Factory Built Defender 110 V8

Less than 10,000 Original Miles

Land Rover released the 110 in 1983 as an updated version of the original Land Rover from 1948. Updates included the introduction of coil springs, a permanent four-wheel-drive system, a taller windscreen, and a more powerful selection of engines. Cosmetic updates to the 110 were minor, but included a full-length bonnet and wheel arch extensions. 110 indicates the wheelbase length of 110 inches; the shorter 90 and longer 127 soon followed. Built through 2016, variants of the Defender were built for civilian use, military use, exploratory excursions, and even emergency response.

This 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 Fire Truck is a left-hand drive powered by a V-8 engine, and backed by a five-speed manual transmission. It is in the original built condition from 1992- the odometers displays 15,076 kilometers at time of cataloguing (~9,369 miles), after spending its career being pampered in a German firehouse. We have driven this Defender approximately 700 miles while in our possession (including one long distance road trip). She spent her life indoors being polished by the rookie at the Feuerwehrhaus. It’s US based life includes one owner since import.

The mix of Italian and German writing on the doors indicate the firehouse was based in Lauregno, which is located in a German-speaking region of Northern Italy. Also on the doors are the words “Freiwillage Feuerwehr,” which translates to “volunteer fire brigade.” Additionally, this Defender is equipped with many Feuerwehr accessories including emergency lights, siren, passenger spotlight, winch, roof storage boxes and a PTO driven generator with light mast.

While most Land Rovers that are over three decades old are typically battered from hard work, serious play, or have been restored to appear like new, this example is an exception, as it was pampered most of its life by the fire department it once served. This Defender is a rare find, and we love having it around. All of the typical Defender “problem areas” are rust and corrosion free.
