Thread: 110 Td5 ute, hard to find

You mean one like this...

Its a customer of ours in Spain... But Im trying to get to terms with some of your language!!! Im guessing a Ute is what we refer to as a Pickup?

For what its worth, a TD5 is definately the way to go (over a Tdi) and there arent that many of them over here in the UK either - Far more hard tops about.

If you fancy a job, buy a Hard top, unbolt the back body and put an older truck cab top on.

hard to do jon when they never sold the TD5 hard top in Oz...

I cant believe they never offered the 110HT in OZ - why? They must be idiots - excellent utility vehicle.

Must admit though I love my 110TD5 Pickup/Ute - Most versatile 110 Ive owned. Plus over in the UK they are classed as a commercial so I can claim the tax back.

land rover has never been the smartest cookie when it comes to what it offers to the AU market!....
this is the land of the ute!

cheers phil

Hendrick,

My father has a 2000 model 110 Td5 cab chassis that may be for sale in the near future. He's had it since new, I think it's done less than 130k and it is air conditioned. It has a alloy tray and bullbar, dual batteries and is in really good nic (pretty much just a daily driver). When it comes time to sell it I will post an add up on this forum.

Matt.

I think you hit the nail on the head - Landrover Australia has shown little interest in the utility market since the introduction of the Discovery; all they are interested in is the "lifestyle" and luxury markets. The Defender market is treated as an enthusiast's market rather than a utility market, and it is only grudgingly that they allow any of them to be sold.
