What Land Rover is this?

[CarlosSainz100]

I'm on holiday in Turkey at the moment and as well as marvelling at all the old Fiats, Renaults and Fords I came across this old Land Rover and wondered what it is?

Ex ambulance. Series 2a or 3.

Its not a series land rover its a 110 or defender.

Still likely an ex-ambulance.

With a lot of those types, the chassis is original but all bodywork from the cab back is bespoke and usually constructed by someone other than Landrover.

Says Otokar on the side, which Google says built Defenders under licence from LR from 1989-2016.

Good point. My S3 was a light weight. I wasn't sure whether normal ones had a the flat or curved door design. I going on how tatty it looked... Looks older than a 110 on my phone.

As others have said, it looks like a 110 with what was probably an ambulance body.

For some reason it didn't upload the other pics earlier.

110 Defender, with a locally coachbuilt body. Perhaps the body is older than the chassis and was transferred between vehicles? It certainly looks like an older style of bodywork, with the curved panels, although that might just be to local taste?

Plenty of ex British Army Defender-based ambulances kicking around on the surplus market. I've seen a couple used by Cold War living history/reenactor types as camper vans because, while they aren't "period correct", they don't spoil the aesthetic of their "period" vehicles and encampments at history festivals and suchlike.

Interesting little piece that. Thanks!

(Scroll down to the image of the 'Albanian EOD Team ambulance' and it's a ringer for the one the OP spotted)

Badged as a 110 and with push button doors handles, I'd say late 80s, but these things are so interchangeable for parts it's hard to nail down.

You didn’t put a return between each image upload. Corrected for you.
