nengelbrecht6 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Currently stationed in the UK, but I transfer to Northern California this summer. Looking forward to being part of the NCLR when I get there. This is my 1985 Land Rover 110 CSW. I bought it from a Brit I work with that couldn't be bothered to do the work himself. I was more than happy to take it off his hands! I've attached before and after photos. Lots of work done to it already and continuing to make improvements as I go.

DHappel Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I like it - looks really good in that matte green. We'd be glad to have you join us when you return stateside - we have big plans for this coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco2Guy Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Looking forward to seeing you and the rig on the other side of the pond. Hopefully you don't have much trouble bringing the 110 over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wow, your 110 looks great. Nice upgrades. Look into importation before you ship it. I think you would have less trouble with a diesel, since the petrol engines need to be smogged. I am trying to import a truck and shipping is easy, but getting it registered in California can be a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully my import will be a little easier. As a member of the US military, I have the right to have my vehicle registered in my home state of FL while stationed in CA while I am still active duty. When I retire in a couple of years, however, that may become an issue. I'll be shipping the truck in a couple of months and have already begun the process of having it registered and titled in FL. My hope is that I deal with any problems that may come up ahead of the truck leaving the UK. Thanks again! I look forward to getting to CA and meeting some of you.

nengelbrecht6 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Update: I now have orders taking me to Sunnyvale, CA, for my next duty station. I will be leaving the UK in July after 3 & 1/2 years here. Rig will be shipped late-May. I've already have a title on license plates in FL, so hopefully the import process will be a little easier for me as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, Let me know if you need it picked up from the port .... we're only a few miles north, towards SF. Could even give it a test at the local off-road park for you ....

nengelbrecht6 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well, tomorrow is the day I drop her off to be shipped. Next time I see her will be when I pick her up in Los Angeles to drive to our new home in Sunnyvale. Looks good all cleaned up ready for inspection!

Never been to CA or any of its trails.No need to go alone, that's what this group is for! Besides having some good company, you can explore more challenging terrain when you've got another truck with you. I had to turn back from two trails yesterday due to snow that I would've definitely tried if I had been with another truck.
