It appears to be an 86" (not an 88") and the side windows and safari roof are correct for a factory station wagon of the time. From the photo it looks to be a very authentic and desirable vehicle.

Depends on your definition of desirable….

Are those semi-floating rear half shafts

Yes, Just like our 80".

Yes, and correct for an 86".

Wish it was mine... and he'd got a better one.

 

Similar one for sale on the Web for a mere £49,995.

Thanks for the correction Mick. It does look good with the roof and windows,

I paid 30k in 2001 for lode lane to build a sv based on a tomb raider defender, I dread to think what that would be worth now if it wasn't stolen. I've another high spec defender now county td5 pickup,  30k on the clock 7 Yrs  ago and I dread to think what that'd be worth also!

What did County do to it? I can understand them modifying things like the mk5 Transits by adding 4wd systems but Land Rovers already have that.

Not sure if you’re joking.

No. I just apparently don't know much about Land Rovers. Wikipedia says it's a trim package so I assume it's just that and nothing to do with County Tractors. Fine. It's quite plausible they might be sent somewhere for aftermarket running gear though. You know, if someone wanted one that worked.
