Up for sale is a beautifully original unmolested 1985 Land Rover Defender 90 recently imported from the UK. It has cleared customs, is titled in Minnesota, and resides comfortably indoors in my heated shop.

It is the original factory 200 tdi diesel with a 5-speed manual. Starts well, runs as it should, and drives comfortably (albeit slowly!) down the road without a lot of drama, squeaks, or rattles. Easy to drive with power steering and brakes. This vehicle is ready to be driven and enjoyed, and has clearly been well taken care of throughout its life. Have some records which seem to support something close to odometer reading at 124,xxx - though it is more, as it doesn't seem to work since it has been imported.

Interior is in very, very nice condition. Third rear jump seat is included with purchase and is in excellent shape as well.

Exterior is in nice original unrestored condition. Very, very nice for a 1985. There is a little bit of corrosion in small spots, I have tried to show in the pictures as best I can.

Tub is in nice shape. Body mounts appear good, suspension mounts seem solid, and floor seems to be solid as well. Unlike a lot of importers, we did not spray undercoating all over the underbody and frame to hide anything.

Offered for sale by a licensed dealer in Rockville, MN (Virtucon, LLC) that specializes in vintage trucks. We are more than happy to assist with shipping in any way we can. Happy to answer any questions and to show the vehicle if you are nearby.

Overall, this is a very nice, rare, original defender that is titled in the US and ready to enjoy. It is not a perfect, restored vehicle, but is in good shape for an original survivor. These things are getting tougher and tougher to import, and are being destroyed or rejected by customs more and more often. Even if you are able to locate and import one on your own, the costs of importing are usually well over $4,000 between taxes, shipping, and the like.

We do require a deposit of $500 by PayPal. There is a $195 documentation fee attached to all sales, which is waived if you agree to a very small rockville4wd window sticker on the vehicle.

Good luck and happy bidding!

Audi considers a rugged SUV — maybe on the Scout platform

Fri, Jan 27 2023

Audi engineers are formulating plans to possibly build a “super saloonÂ” luxury off-roader SUV in 2027, It would compete in a segment that now includes the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G-Class, according to a report in BritainÂ’s Autocar. According to Audi designer Marc Lichte, quoted in the story, the platform for the new model could be borrowed from the Volkswagen GroupÂ’s recently announced sister brand, Scout Motors, which is currently developing electric-powered concepts and prototypes. While Audi has developed a PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture for its base EV lineup, that would be replaced in the planned model with ScoutÂ’s ladder chassis to provide the steep departure angles and ground clearance needed to negotiate tough terrain, as well as with the latest generation of AudiÂ’s Quattro four-wheel-drive technology, Autocar reports. Audi is well into development of its Activesphere project, an enticing design blend of coupe and hatchback. The Activesphere uses PPE, co-developed by Audi and Porsche, and will appear in a production Audi product by the end of this year. Audi says. Beyond that, Â“I think there is space" for a rugged SUV in AudiÂ’s passenger car lineup,Â Lichte said. Â“There is potential because there are only two premium playersÂ” in this particular segment" (Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover) Â“and I think there is a space for a third one.Â” The upscale Defender was by far Land RoverÂ’s best-selling car last year, with 66,805 sold, and the G-Class set a new sales record the previous year with 41,174 moved worldwide. Audi obviously would like to capitalize on this popularity of the rugged 4x4 segment. The proposed competitor, said Lichte, Â“will not look like a G-Class and it will not look like a Defender, I can promise you. It will be something else."

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
