Land Rover 110
Model of my Land Rover 110 in scale 1:12.6.
About the model:
This Land Rover 110 is a hybrid model of a Technic chassis, combined with a scale bodywork from classic bricks.
The chassis is a reinforced and modified version of Sheepo's Garage's Modular All-terrain Platform.
It uses two Power Functions L-Motors for the all-wheel drivetrain and a servo motor for steering. The chassis features a hi/low gearbox which I automated using an M-Motor. As a means of remote control, an S-Brick is used. Power comes from an AA battery box.
Both front and rear axle are of the solid type with differential and are spring mounted.
The bodywork features openable driver's, passenger and rear doors as well as an openable bonnet, revealing the drive and steering motors. The whole bodywork can be lifted off to reveal the Technic innards. There is no scale interior.
About the real car:
The real car this model is based on, is a 1984 Land Rover 110, also called One Ten. Later on, this model became the famous Land Rover Defender.
It is powered by a mere 75 hp from a 2.25-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine.
The car was used as a fire engine for about 25 years. When I bought it in 2017, it had only some 25'000 km on the clock and was in a very solid condition.
In the meantime the Land Rover is converted into a camper with a custom made interior and a pop top roof made by Ex-Tec.
The car is called 'Grisu', named after an Italian cartoon figure of a dragon who wanted to become a firefighter.
