Introduced in 1983, the Land Rover County Estate could be had in either ‘90’ or ‘110’ guises and was an acknowledgement that not all of the Solihull marque’s products were destined to spend their lives on farms, construction sites and battlefields! Offering more ‘luxury’ and practical people carrying ability than its more utilitarian siblings, the County continued when the Land Rover had to adopt a name, Defender, in 1990, following the launch of Discovery.

The 4C D Turbo was an 85hp 2.5-litre turbodiesel (not to be confused with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder Tdi engines that followed it), offering, arguably the best combination of performance (0-60 about 20 seconds, capable of keeping up with motorway traffic) and economy (20-25mpg) that was available at the time.

This 110 County Estate is said to be a very un-touched example and still retains its original engine, gearbox, chassis and axles.

Showing just three former keepers on HPi, the Landie has covered some 146,000 miles.
