- If you want to take off on an outback adventure, then getting the right vehicle for the job is crucial.
This recently consigned custom Land Rover Defender 110 Adventure takes going ‘off grid’ to the next level! James checks out all the trick equipment fitted to this Land Rover which was originally commissioned to tackle an expedition Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
Recovery tracks, 270 degree awning and a BBQ are all par for the course as well as creature comforts like a pop-up double bed and in built fridge freezer!
What adventures would you take this vehicle on? Let us know in the comments section.

You could go anywhere with that, I would take it across Europe in winter.
Failed at the first hurdle. It is a COUNTY Station wagon, not COUNTRY. The saying goes, “you can drive a Land Rover into the outback, but you can drive a Toyota back home”. I’ve had numerous LR products all crap for reliability. I was a fool and purchased a Toyota instead. Why do you think no one in the Middle East drives a Land Rover?
I have found both my prior 1964 IIA 88 and my current 1988 110 to be reliable, though I admit that it requires more attention from the owner to be so. I understand the arguments for a Toyota and don't doubt it does everything you ask of it. But at the end of the day it's a toaster, by which I mean that its utility is its only selling point. Put another way, it has no soul.
The value of an old Land Rover is everything except its utility (which it certainly has in spades). It is analogous to a Douglas DC-3: More work for the driver. Slower and noisier than more modern designs. The subtle smell of gasoline and grease. The chorus of rattles and squeaks. And that firm feedback from the roadway that drive-by-wire and multi-link suspensions hide from you.
I drive vintage Land Rovers because I want to DRIVE
On the other hand, it's Christmas evening, I've had a few and I could be full of (Christmas Cheer).
Merry Christmas Metal.
The power plug on the rear you mention is a Trailer plug? Who would have known 🙄
TAKE MY MONEY! Oh, wait... I already own a Defender.. Ahhh, whatever. TAKE MY MONEY!
Doesn’t look as though it’s done a single mile anywhere other than popping to Harvey nicks or Harrods for some champers for Tarquins party.
In Australia, these things are everywhere, however you rarely see Defenders kitted out, it's usually Landcruiser mobile fridges. MPG figures will be 'interesting'.
Great build.
But…
With a vehicle with obviously so much value, a carnet de passages will cost an absolute fortune
And in a lot of African and Asian countries vhf radios are illegal. Even in the uk, you will need to pass a test and get an ham radio licence, unless of course you mean CB.
I have a defender for going to Serengeti and off road. from Tanzania
If I had one I would leave this orwellian nightmare of a country and never come back
Close the door on your way out.
Shame it's illegal on UK roads. Driving with spot lights or work lights and dipped beam. It's also pretty much throw money at it and you get the vehicle. Nothing really differnet to the other few hundred out there these days.
biggest miss here - and especially for going through slightly dodgy areas is that you are cut off from the cab- if you need to access the back you are forced to move outside- I suspect this is really for people who a) never will go "wild" or b) stay in Europe ....
Wow, that's awesome, love the Defenders. Check out mine when you get a chance. You'll like it. 👍👍🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇦🇷🇦🇷🇨🇴🇨🇴
In the thumbnail, the van is sat there with the roof up, the awning extended and then the video maker sat out in the middle of the field with his table, chair and beer.
So what was the bloody point of the several thousand spent? You could just have a landrover and a beer.
It’s a nicely sorted defender, like hundreds of others kitted out just like it.
Hyperbole isn’t really necessary for a good presentation, mate.
