This 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 was recently imported from England. It is now located in Windsor Ontario and is for sale in Canada. This Defender has been recently refurbished including a brand new galvanized chassis (frame) and a new suspension including heavy duty coil springs and new polyurethane suspension bushings. This truck is set up as an off road and utility vehicle with a two seat configuration. The seats are newer style vinyl and cloth seats. The truck has been converted to a V8 engine with an automatic transmission. The engine starts and runs nicely and has plenty of power for highway driving. The truck sits on a set of mud terrain tires with plenty of tread left and alloy wheels. There is a full sized spare with matching rim and tire on the rear door. If you are looking for an off-road or trail rig this truck is ready to run with steel bumpers front and rear and a set of steel rock sliders. There are hi-lift jack points at the front and rear and in the sliders to assist in off-road recovery.
The paint job is a recent re-paint and it is in good condition with only minor scratched and blemishes that would be expected on a vehicle of this type. The body is in very good condition as well with only a few minor dents that do not detract from the overall vehicle. The worst of the dents are on the tops of the front fenders where it looks like prior to the repaint some tools hand been set on them causing multiple small dents. The easiest and most practical fix to this would be some chequer plate fender top protectors. The canvas top is in serviceable condition and has plenty of life left. The rear plastic window does have some fogging and could stand to be replaced. The interior is generally in good condition, it does have some road dust lurking in corners from off-road use but it would look great with a good cleaning. There was a radio installed at some point which has since been removed, the speaker grilles remain in the lower dashboard. one of them is missing the metal screening. The transfer case shifter is missing the vinyl trim boot but it does not effect function.
This truck would make a great trail or off-road rig or even a daily driver. The canvas top and removable door-tops make this a very fun to drive truck that is sure to turn heads. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this vehicle. I have done my best to describe the condition of the vehicle and point out any and all defects that I am aware of. The truck is sold as-is with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied. |

Buy a Jaguar E-Type continuation, get a matching wristwatch
Tue, Feb 28 2017From time to time, automakers release special branded watches. Jaguar and Land Rover are no different. The latest from Land Rover isn't particularly remarkable, but one new Jaguar piece is pretty special. Jaguar partnered with British watchmaker Bremont for a line of watches, the most impressive being a 43mm watch that commemorates Jaguar's continuation series of Lightweight E-Types. Like the cars, only six of the watches will be produced, and they will be offered to the owners of those $1.5 million cars. Each watch features a serial number that matches a corresponding car, and the faces have been designed to look like the instruments aboard the E-Types. The same goes for the hands, which look like the gauge needles. The winding crown also has a tire tread pattern that wraps around the sides, with Jaguar's heritage logo on the top. And these timepieces are built with aluminum left over from the continuation E-Types. On the back is the most impressive part, though. Here is where the watch's automatic winding weight is visible. It's shaped like a vintage steering wheel, and the outer rim is made from real wood. The weight keeps the watch and its exclusive Bremont movement wound. If you can't afford this ultra-limited watch, Bremont has a line of other Jaguar watches with many of the same design cues, at prices ranging from less than $5,000 to more than $11,000. The Land Rover watch is a bit disappointing, since it bears little apparent connection to the vehicles. Zenith, the Swiss company that partnered with Land Rover for the piece, claims the design is inspired by the Range Rover. And Land Rover claims a connection in that a British explorer wore the same series watch while completing an expedition with a pair of Range Rovers. There's also the fact that the watch and the SUV are both made of aluminum, but otherwise, the Zenith watch doesn't look particularly automotive. The box sounds pretty cool, though, since it's fashioned from Land Rover wood and upholstery. Related Video:
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
