Up for sale is a genuine 1981 Land Rover Series III 109” (Ex-Ministry of Defence). While many search for these under the “Defender” name, this is a true Series III Cold War-era survivor with the official MoD release paperwork to prove its heritage.

Fully Registered with a Clean Florida Title. If you know these Ex-MoD military imports, you know the absolute nightmare it can be to get them through US customs and legally titled with the DMV. I have already done the hard work. This truck has a clean Florida title and is fully registered, meaning you can buy it, insure it, and drive it immediately without dealing with import paperwork or DMV headaches.

It’s an original Right-Hand Drive (RHD) UK-built model with just 33,000 kilometres on the clock. It was initially an MoD Signals Vehicle (Fitted For Radio) and still retains much of its military DNA, including the heavy-duty 24-volt electrical setup and original camouflage patina.

Please note: I am currently out of the country for work, but the Land Rover, the keys, and the clean Florida title are safely located with my parents in Jacksonville, FL. They are fully available to show you the vehicle in person, answer questions, and handle the physical handover and final payment.
