1986 Land Rover Defender on 2040-cars
Jal, New Mexico, United States
Please email me with any questions or requests for additional pics or something specific at: felipafhhillsman@ukso.com .
This is a 1986 Land Rover 110; otherwise known as a Defender 110. It has an upgraded power train with a 300 Tdi
(Turbo Diesel) engine and power steering. It has four side doors and one rear door and seats nine people. It is
"continental european" meaning it was built as a left hand drive and hasn't been converted. Since completion the
vehicle has been driven approximately 600 miles, but the original odometer has 242,000 kilometers on it. The VIN
(SALLDHMC8BA279904) matches the number on the VIN plate in the engine bay.
It pains me a great deal to part with this vehicle. I have really enjoyed spending the last year restoring this
vehicle after bringing it back with me from Europe. This vehicle has had only one previous owner and spent nearly
all of its 30 years in Croatia. In July 2015, It was legally
imported and has a free and clear Virginia title with no liens. The frame had, and still has, no rust except for
the rear crossmember (which bolts on) and was replaced. The excellent condition of the undercarriage is likely a
result of the temperate climate of the Mediterranean/Adriatic region of Croatia. All of the restoration and
maintenance was personally conducted by me except for the professional paint and sand blasting/powder coating of
the frame.

Own a piece of history! The Land Rover Defender line is now shut down. As of February 2016, Land Rover stopped
making this classic vehicle. The Defender is only going to increase in value. Since the Series vehicles have been
produced after WWII, nearly two-thirds of all Land Rover Series/Defenders are still on the road; a testament to
their design and durability and the love of their owners to keep them going. The frame and bulkhead are steel, but
the body is aluminum, which contributes to its longevity due to its inherent defense against corrosion.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
