Looks very nice, but needs tome TLC."

This is my 1985 Land Rover Defender. The vin is SALLDVAD7AA242988. It has the 2.5 petrol (gas) engine and a 5 speed transmission. No power windows or locks unless you refer to your hands as the "power controls"! It runs and drives great! This is a right hand drive, not to be mistaken for a LHD. The vin matches all the specifics of this truck down to the engine and transmission. It shows 91,000 but I'm not 100% if it's not kilometers? I bought it from a gentleman who had it imported in August of 2012. He barely drove it or did anything to it, including cleaning it! So it hasn't been driven too much. I have always wanted one of these! I bought it to replace my daily driver which is a Jeep Cherokee, but after getting it here (in the Midwest), I'm not very comfortable with this and my two young boys. Not the right car and I'm sad for this. It would take some work to get it to that level and I don't have the time for such a project right now (I mean it could use some different tires and to make me feel safe a roll cage of some sort, kinda expensive for me at this time). So the wife said something has to go...

So I will try to list everything I can and know about this sweet rig. As far as I know the frame looks pretty solid and the rear crossmember looks as good as it could, I'd say if it's not a recent replacement then it's in very good shape, I've taken some good pictures of this from under the rear wheel arches so you can see for yourself. The whole frame looks to have been covered by waxy oil or some sort of undercoating at one time and looks to be flaking off in areas. If there are any areas you would like to see in particular that I haven't pictured, let me know and I'll try to get some to you. In general the rust situation on this truck looks to be great compared to many that I have seen or looked at! The gas gauge reads full all the time and according to the forums it means the sending unit in the tank is bad, I just fill it up every couple of weeks, and the speedometer is currently not working but I have a new cable that I will try to install in the next week or so,if I have time. The engine has a new carb on it and honestly this this runs great! I pops right off every time I drive it! Kind of reminds me of an old tractor how it sounds, very cool! The transmission shifts good too, weird on the right side but it's fun! Brakes stop great! It is equipped with disc on the front and rear drums. The all wheel drive system feel just as solid as everything else. The springs are taller than stock ones, but looks better to me like this. The shocks I believe could stand to be replaced as they feel a bit soft.

On to the body and paint. As you can see the truck looks presentable (due to a little elbow grease and loving touch) but unfortunately someone has resprayed this once before and it wasn't an expensive paint job. I was told by the previous owner that it wasn't repainted...right! I do however like the darker green and if I were able to keep it and restore it, this would be the color of my choice for this truck, it's really grown on me and if I could of, the checker plating would have been powder coated a gloss black or black chrome, I think it would have really set this truck off! I replaced the tub to top seals the other day, I was seeing daylight between the box and top and I also replaced the rear tailgate and hatch seal as well as the rear window seals (the little ones on the back of the truck). It has a rear tire carrier because it has the tailgate. Now this is what I think makes this truck so unique...the hatch! This thing is cool to me! All the others that I have been lucky to get near are soft top version with tailgates and cloth tops or the station wagon version with the big rear doors. Unfortunately the rear hatch window is a bit smaller than the big doors have in them but that's the price you pay to be different!

The seats look pretty solid, they're just vinyl. There is a CD player in the dash. It has the usual cubby box bolted to the floor between the seats. The heat blows good and gets warm, been pretty warm around here so not too sure how warm it will get? It seems to function as it should. As far as the bulkhead (I have taken some pictures of this) the previous owner patched the drivers floor but not the worlds best welder and as far as the passenger side, it looks okay but starting to show rust, any skilled welder could patch these in.

I have tinted the rear windows on the top but not the drivers or passenger doors, this could be negotiated further after deal is made???

As far as leaks go the only thing I can see and tell that's leaking is the seal on the transfer case, again the previous owner said "no, it doesn't leak!".

I'm trying to describe this as good as I can and be as honest as I can, because I feel I was a bit misled and I don't like getting burnt either.

This thing is very cool and I'm always asked "what is that?". Most people refer to it as a "nice Jeep thing!" But none the less it's cool and people find it very cool and unique. That's why I like it, because it's unique! And I'm sad to see,it go:( (sorry for the text sad face)

I did have a soft top on it this summer (ask for pictures if interested), but it's since been taken off due to winter coming and I felt the hardtop would fair better in the colder weather. I would be interested in selling this too but for an additional cost if interested. Up to the next owner? THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE PRICE OF THIS VEHCLE.

I feel that price of this is completely fair to a bargain, there are no other Defenders on here or anywhere that are this well priced. Feel free to make me an offer if you have a better price in mind but please be respectful. Unlike the conditions say, I will not accept any money orders and any pay pal payments are subject to a 3% fee added. I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY REASONABLE OFFERS!

As far as shipping goes, I WILL NOT ship this for you, you will need to arrange that. I can meet your shipper or assist in driving it to a shipper if near, but I will not ship it for you. That being said, I would not plan on driving this a long distance, not that I don't trust the engine, it's just not a highway cruiser. It feels like it need a sixth gear at about 55 mph! Unless your looking to tour the countryside at a blazing 55 mph?

I will also require a deposit of $500 at the buy it now ending. We can arrange the final payment and information once shipping arrangements are figured out and settled. Please no longer than 7-10 days if at all possible.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer to the best of my ability and in a timely fashion.

Thanks!

Jaguar Land Rover may buy Silverstone racetrack for new HQ

Thu, Dec 3 2015

Jaguar Land Rover might add another chapter to its venerable motorsports legacy by purchasing the revered UK racetrack Silverstone to use as its new company headquarters. JLR could reportedly offer 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at current rates) to buy the circuit, according to Automotive News Europe, which cites several British media sources. The British automaker would then invest the equivalent of $78 million to turn the historic track into a celebration of the brand, including a museum, experience center, and hotel. The company would also construct space for its marketing team and engineers, Automotive News Europe reports. Motorsports would still continue there, too, which means the course's Formula One legacy is safe. Neither JLR nor the British Racing Drivers' Club, which leases the track, have confirmed the rumors. The BRDC only suggested that it received several confidential offers to purchase the circuit. Silverstone has a motorsports history that goes back to the late 1940s and is often the home to the Formula One British Grand Prix. The track's organizers have a long-term deal to continue hosting the F1 race, too. Today, the course also features major events from MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In November, Jaguar released a video that celebrated some of its legacy at Silverstone by bringing the modern XJR and Le Mans-winning XJ-R9 LM at the track. If the company's purchase happens, you can expect to see a lot more Jags and probably some Land Rovers lapping the course. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation

Thu, May 3 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.
