1985 Land Rover Defender 110 Diesel

EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE
 
Up for sale is a very nice example of a Land Rover 110 pickup!  This is a LEFT HAND DRIVE 2.5 Diesel pickup with a 5spd standard transmission.  This little Land Rover runs excellent, starts on the coldest days without issue and will run the Interstate at 65-70 mph all day long while averaging approximately 30 mpg!  The roof top is also easily removed for that convertible top feeling.  The clutch operates as it should, the transmission shifts smoothly.  The truck drives smoothly down the road with no excessive play in the steering and tracks nice and straight.  The 16 inch classic steel wheels are shod with tires in good condition.  The front two tires have approximately 60% tread remaining and the rear tires (different brand from the front tires) have approximately 70% tread remaining.  The truck had been painted 7-10 years ago and is holding up well.  Of course it is a 29 year old vehicle and as such it does have some minor blemishes and doors dings, etc...  The bulkhead appears to be in solid condition as does the rest of the truck.  The frame underneath is also very solid from front to back.  The truck has the stronger Salisbury rear axle and has center differential lock.  The front brakes have just been completely rebuilt with new pads, rotors and calipers.  The brake pedal feels a little soft, however it stops well with no leaks or issues.  The parking brake, lights, horn, heater, windshield wipers and gauges all work well with the exception of the oil temperature gauge.  The truck currently has 92,532 original miles or approximately 150,000 kilometers.  This Defender started life in the British Military somewhere oversees on light airport duty where left hand drive vehicles were utilized.  It was then imported to Canada approximately 10 years ago by a Canadian Land Rover enthusiast.  We imported the vehicle into Texas last year and it is currently tagged with a clear blue title in Texas and insured as a classic.  I would welcome any interested parties to view the vehicle in person.  Would make an excellent hunting, farm, classic cruiser or expedition truck!  May be able to assist with shipping..

Sold as is, really great find!

Jaguar tests autonomous vehicle technology with 100-car fleet

Wed, Jul 13 2016

Jaguar Land Rover is exploring how to take autonomous vehicle technology off the paved path. But the company has plans for technology on tarmac, too. The company announced that the Jaguar division will have a fleet of 100 cars testing autonomous technologies on public roads. The testing process will cover a period of four years and begin with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems, along with a stereo camera system and autonomous vehicle software. These systems will work together to provide a variety of features that could make their way into future Jaguars and Land Rovers. The first feature in development is called "Roadwork Assist." The system relies on the stereo camera to create a 3D image the car's software can analyze. The software can identify road cones and other barriers associated with construction sites. The car will then alert the driver about entering the construction zone and provide some steering assistance to keep the car centered in its lane. Tony Harper, Jaguar's head of research, said that this system can reduce stress on the driver, and the technology could eventually be used to allow the car to pilot itself through construction zones. Another of Jaguar's proposed features is "Safe Pullaway," which also relies on cameras and software. The Safe Pullaway feature is designed to prevent close-proximity collisions in traffic jams and even in the garage. To do this, the car watches the area immediately ahead of it for obstacles. If the car detects something nearby while the driver adds throttle or shifts into gear, it will apply the brakes to prevent driving into the object. The final project on Jaguar's plate is its "Over the Horizon Warning" system. This will be one of the first features to rely on Jaguar's vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology. The idea is that connected cars in constant communication will give drivers additional warning of upcoming hazards, such as out-of-sight animals and slowed or stopped cars. In Jaguar's example of a stopped car, the stationary vehicle would send a signal alerting approaching cars of the situation. In turn, the approaching vehicles would trigger audible and visual warnings to drivers about the hidden car. Jaguar says that the system could also be applied to emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles would broadcast a signal to alert drivers well before the lights and sirens get their attention. This would give emergency vehicles a faster, safer path through traffic.

Jaguar Land Rover releases a vintage-looking infotainment system for classics

Fri, Sep 7 2018

Jaguar and Land Rover have a new option for owners of its older vehicles: a touchscreen infotainment system. Much like the Porsche classic infotainment head unit released a few years ago, this one tries to blend in with its interior surroundings. Five distinct designs of these "Classic Infotainment Systems" are offered in an effort to have an option that fits well with the interior of any particular car offered by Jag or Land Rover over the past few decades. Chrome and black options are available for Jaguars, while brushed aluminum and black are the choices for Land Rovers. The infotainment system has navigation with 2D or 3D maps and Bluetooth audio. Sure, you don't need to stream Spotify in a 1970s Land Rover, but now you can. Jaguar says it'll offer much higher quality sound with a 4 x 45 watt output from the single DIN head unit, but you might need to upgrade those ancient speakers to actually take advantage of it. There's no mention of satellite radio like Porsche's unit offers, unfortunately. It is a radio though, so we get both AM and FM functionality. Jaguar says it's "compatible with negative earth vehicles" (newer vehicles use negative grounding systems) and retails for $1,796 before taxes in the U.S. You can buy and have it professionally fitted at an "authorized" Jaguar or Land Rover dealer if you'd like as well. It's easy to shake your fist at such a device for classic cars, but this head unit tried hard to be an elegant piece — we're still not sure about slotting it into an old E-Type though... Here are U.S. specific model fitments: Jaguar XJ40; XJS; XJ Series 3 Sedan Land Rover Defender 90, 110; Range Rover Classic (93-96); Discovery 1 (94-98); Freelander (97-04) Related Video: Featured Gallery Jaguar Land Rover Classic Infotainment System News Source: Jaguar Jaguar Land Rover Technology Infotainment
