Welcome to an auction for a 26 year old Defender 110 Tithonus.” E Bay does not recognize foreign VIN numbers so this is why 1980 appears above.
This is possibly the best condition 1987 Land Rover you will ever see. It is completely different from the usual worn-out ex MOD usually on sale.
This Defender was put into service with the British Army from new. I am the 2nd owner.
During approximately 2009/10 the vehicle went through the MOD's Project Tithonus you can find info on project tithonus on Wikipedia . Work included a comprehensive overhaul of only the best Defenders already owned by the MOD. All the others that didnt make the grade were sold off.
Project Tithonus was a cost-saving measure by the MOD. It had a requirement to only use vehicles that were up to current health and safety standards. Therefore instead of purchasing a new fleet of vehicles it chose to refurbish the best of the existing stock. This refurbishment, known as Project Tithonus was to make the vehicles fit for service and meet current health and safety standards for at least another 10 years.
The refurbishment this Defender went through included:
-complete bare metal respray of body and chassis
-fitting of new Wolf style composite hard top
-fitting full Wolf roll-cage
-new seatbelts front and rear
-new updated front exmoor trim seats
-new folding exmoor trim rear seats with seatbelts
-new rubber sound proofing matting front and rear
-new Wolf wheels
-new upgraded brakes ..(Front disc brakes)
-new Michelin tires 7.50R16
-engine refurbishment 2.5Ltr Diesel and 5 speed LT77 gearbox and transfer case
-chequer-plate to bonnet, hood and sills
After all of this work had been carried out some of the vehicles were sold off. This was due to down-sizing and a requirement for more armoured vehicles suitable for current deployments. Which is why this one became available.
It still has the original 2x SA80 rifle holders in the front and the radio/battery box in the rear.
It is in fantastic condition. There are NO typical-Land Rover dents
The chassis is absolutely pristine with no rust what so ever. It could be waxoyled to preserve it.
There is no bulk-head rot or footwell rot as can be found in much newer Defenders. It drives superb with no unusual clunks and bangs , no wines on the gearbox or axels and gearbox is smooth , engine fires up straight away.
Some of the military specifications of this that are different from standard specification are as follows:
-radio boxes and antennae mounts on the bonnet
-antennae mounting posts on both sides
-side cubby boxes
-rifle carriers in the front
-radio battery box in the rear
-radio cable-tray mounted on the roll-cage
-military rear bumpers
-towing eye in the front bumper
-NATO style rear tow-hitch
-shovel/tools mounting to the rear door
Wolf air vents to both front wings
Wolf/WMIK carrier on bonnet
The usual Land Rover specifications for this Defender are as follows:
- Left Hand Drive
-permanent 4 wheel drive
-high and low ratio gear box
The odometer is showing 144,000 km, which is 90,000 miles. Extremely low for the age. This is the original odometer so the millage is even less since the refurbishment in 2009. It really has done no work at all.

Jaguars and Land Rovers to feature in 007's Spectre
Mon, Feb 9 2015James Bond may be more closely associated with Aston Martin, but Jaguars and Land Rovers have featured in 007 movies new and old. Skyfall, the most recent installment in the series, opened with Bond and Moneypenny ripping through the streets of Istanbul in a Defender and saw M being chauffeured around London in an XJ. And the upcoming feature Spectre is set to feature some of JLR's finest as well. While Bond himself will be piloting the new Aston Martin DB10, the movie will also feature a Jag and a couple of Landies. The Jaguar C-X75 concept, as we know, will be part of a chase scene against the DB10, now revealed to be set in Rome. But the movie will also include the new Range Rover Sport SVR (with what looks like some auxiliary lighting) and at least two Defenders modified by JLR Special Operations to "Big Foot" specifications with 37-inch off-road tires, upgraded suspensions and added bodywork protection. As you may recall, a couple of months ago a fleet of nine vehicles used in the film were stolen from a garage in Dusseldorf, including five Range Rover Sports. This is the first confirmation we're seeing of any of them being SVR models, or of the Big Foot Defenders being part of the mix as well. The scenes including the Land Rovers have already been filmed in Austria, and we're looking forward to seeing them all on the silver screen come November.

Broccoli's EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The Jaguar C-X75 will feature in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside the Aston Martin DB10.

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830
Fri, May 3 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
