Our trip is now over, but Sally wants to keep on traveling. Therefore we have no other option than to sell her in order to let her fulfill her dreams to see the world. “Sally” is our beloved Land Rover One Ten which has been refined into the perfect overland vehicle.
She is a hard top with two comfortable front seats and a good storage/sitting/sleeping combination in the back. It’s best suited for two people traveling, but it can provide as much as 12 seats (African standard) for shorter distances.
The main bedroom is on top of the car in the roof top tent but if you don’t feel like pitching the tent or if you have friends coming over, there is a “guest room” inside the car that easily fits two people as well.
The interior is built not only to provide good storage but also to offer the possibility to live inside the car in bad weather conditions or in unsafe areas. There is enough space in the back to sit comfortably, to cook, to work or simply watch DVDs.
Here are the specs and the equipment in detail:
