1986 Land Rover 90 (defender) Diesel Rhd. Fully Imported, Titled In Us. on 2040-cars
Rockville, Minnesota, United States
|
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.

BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech
Wed, Jun 5 2019FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.
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.
