VERY LOW RESERVE! 1986 Land Rover 90 (Defender) Diesel. Imported from the UK, so it is right-hand drive. 5-speed manual transmission with nice tight power steering. Runs and drives quite well for its age. This is an unrestored original, but has obviously been well cared for. Interior is in very nice shape with seats that appear to be new (appear to be factory spec seats). All glass good, rubber floor liner in nice shape. Dash in fine shape and all gauges and controls appear to work as they should. 2.5 liter diesel engine runs well and does not appear to smoke, except a bit at start-up. Shifts through all the gears quite well and clutch seems to have plenty of life left, engages smoothly. Steering is plenty tight and suspension seems good as well. Tracks straight down the road and does not seem prone to rattles or vibrations. All in all, a very nice driving vehicle, albeit a bit slow on the freeway, though it will hold 65 just fine. Body in good condition for the age. Some minor corrosion along the bottom of the doors and at the back corner - no spots seem to be larger than about a nickel and can be seen on the pictures. There don't appear to be any holes or corrosion that has gone past the very surface. For the age, the exterior is in very nice shape. Windshield and cowl area appear solid. Underneath the truck, the frame is solid, though like most rovers of this vintage, it has been patched at some point, as they tend to rot in places. I noted one welded patch on each side near the rear suspension mount. Seemed to be very professional work, patch was correctly formed and welds were strong and clean (see picture). Most of the frame paint had worn off the back half of the vehicle, so I had the back half cleaned, coated in frame paint, and covered in rubberized coating as shown in the pictures. The underbody of the tub seems to be in nice shape with good, solid floors and inner wheel wells. The two rearmost floor crossmembers appear to have been patched at one point, but seem solid enough now. I tried to show all of the weak spots that I could find in the pictures, so please look carefully. This Rover has been fully imported and is titled and insured in my name in Minnesota. Will transfer just like any other vehicle. I have owed it since September, and it has spent most of the tie here in my heated shop. I own a small car dealership, and imported myself. Avoid the hassle and potential disaster of importing your own over. These are getting more and more difficult to bring over, as people have tried to sneak later model defenders over. I'm happy to answer any questions, and will assist with shipping in any way that I can. I am a licensed dealer, so I can usually get a pretty decent rate on shipping across the US.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728
Fri, May 6 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
