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.

They are fully available to show you the vehicle in person, answer questions, and handle the physical handover and final payment.
