KEY FACTS

• Formerly utilised by the Devon police force, this rugged off-roader is now presented in very smart overall condition, having been recently restored and updated by its current owner.
• Under the bonnet sits a 2.4-litre TDCI inline-four, which drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
• To date the vehicle has had only two registered keepers, and is accompanied by an extensive service history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 110 XS has recently been resprayed in white with a gloss black roof, while its cabin is trimmed in grey cloth accented by new tan leather trim items.
• It has also been fitted with a new rear door and bumper, as well as replacement wheel arch extensions.
• Other improvements include a new front grill and surrounds, upgraded LED lights, new side protection bars, air conditioning, a replacement radio and fresh carpets.

• The two-tone white and black paintwork has been fully resprayed and is described by the vendor as being in excellent overall condition, with no substantial marks or blemishes to speak of.
• The exterior trim is also in good order, though there is minor surface rust and signs of wear on some of the bolts.
• Inside, the cabin presents well, with some general signs of use including wear on the dashboard and a small tear on the rear driver’s-side seat. The vendor also notes that there are some small screw holes on the dashboard, where police equipment was previously mounted.
