    Maybe a silly question

    How many 110's were factory fitted with the 4BD1?

    Have owned mine for 10 months now after nearly a year of searching and have always wondered how many were originally made by land rover with the 4BD1.

    If any one knows would be great to hear. Thanks

    Was that for the 110's only or 110's, 120's and Stage 1's?

    Given that they say over 75% of all Land Rovers built are still on the road, it makes sense that most of the 4BD1 powered units would be as they are a very strong and long lived engine.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I interpreted it as all 110's -IE wagons, utes & vans & coil springs. I don't think it included civvy 6x6's but that would have been a handful.
    I used to have all the mags from that era, Bushdriver, Overlander but threw them out as the roof was about to collapse. I did keep some & read just now that the County V8 was $21,000 in 1985 & I recall the stage 1's in 1982 being $12500 as I was trying to save up for one.. One of the mags listed the 4x4 sales for the previous month & I well remember the County sales struggling to hit double figures and Toyota's in the hundreds. The County was darned expensive in its day.
