"LOW RESERVE" for a vehicle with all of this work, considerably less than some of the ones currently advertised on here. Shoot me an offer, I might take it.. I am not an importer/exporter or dealer. I hand picked this vehicle after several years of looking at vehicles in the UK.

For sale is my XMOD 1986 Land Rover 90 "Defender", Date in service October 16, 1986, vehicle spent all of its life in Cyprus before disposal in the UK in 2011.  I am the 2nd owner after release from the military. The previous owner hand picked this one from Witham's and had work done to it before I purchased it, the only reason he sold is because he picked up a Wolf and didn't need two Landy's.  Vehicle was used in a cross country trip by me from the UK to Romania, where she has been for the last 1.5 years, averaged around 28mpg at 60mph. Only reason I am selling is I am staying abroad a few more years and I am going to get something newer. I bought it and had all of the work done to import it myself, but since my plans have changed, this is the only reason I am selling her.  

I am planning on driving her back towards the UK in the next few weeks if she sells and the mileage will increase to around 2000 miles. I will drive the vehicle to Rotterdam where it can be shipped to a East/West Coast port.  If vehicle does not sell, I might leave her in Romania until the fall, or just make the trip anyway and ship the vehicle to the states, do all the importation paperwork and sell her for a higher price later this year, this is your chance to save thousands of dollars.

Will include bill of sale, V5 from the UK and all paperwork, receipts. You will be responsible for shipping from Rotterdam to your location, import fees and applicable taxes.  

If BIN price is met, I will cover shipping from Rotterdam to NY, or up to $1500 credit for shipping to another location, you are still responsible for import fees and applicable taxes.

10% deposit due 24 hrs after auction ends via Paypal, balance due within 72 hrs after auction ends (bank transfer or money order). 

NOTE: EBAY DOES NOT VALIDATE THE UK VIN NUMBER. THIS VEHICLE IS A 1986 NOT A 1980 AS EBAY HAS IT LISTED

2.5 NA diesel and LT77 transmission, with typical small oil leaks, even after replacing gaskets, nothing major.
Very little rust, some on the chassis surface, and some on the interior bulkhead and floors, very miniscule.
Has NATO and civilian hitch, rubber floor mats, front and rear.
Tilt/canvas is in good condition, no tears or leaks, plastic is clear, small scratches, all ropes are present.

I have a current quote from Rotterdam to NY, they also have a import specialist there that can help with the import paperwork on the US side.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.

Jaguar Land Rover's InMotion takes a stab at carsharing

Wed, Apr 13 2016

Jaguar Land Rover's new InMotion mobility business aims to capitalize on the growing carsharing boom and develop other forms of alternative transportation. The first pilot programs kick off in the coming months in North America, Europe, and Asia. JLR owns InMotion, but the company acts independently from the automaker. "As a start-up business, InMotion combines the flexibility and pace needed to compete in the ever-changing mobility sector. It allows us to react quickly to new tech and ever-changing customer demands," Adrian Hallmark, JLR's Group Strategy Director, said in a statement. The 30-person firm intends to develop its own answers to upcoming transport problems and also invest in entrepreneurs to develop those solutions. InMotion isn't yet providing many details about what projects the firm expects to tackle, but the Website mentions carsharing and on-demand delivery services. Establishing InMotion shows that JLR doesn't want to fall behind the current trends in the auto industry. Practically every major automaker is currently pursuing future transportation ideas. For example, Ford recently took a very similar approach when it spun off Smart Mobility into a separate startup. BMW also rebranded its DriveNow carsharing service into ReachNow to also add a future ridesharing service.

Next month InMotion will begin real-world testing of a number of different services such as car sharing and car ownership solutions, across North America, Europe and Asia in the coming months. Adrian Hallmark, Group Strategy Director, Jaguar Land Rover said:"With the development of new apps and on-demand services, InMotion provides us with an opportunity to provide engaging and invaluable experiences to both new and existing customers globally."

Jaguar Land Rover to cut workforce by 2,000 in push toward electric future

Thu, Feb 18 2021

Jaguar Land Rover said on Wednesday it would cut 2,000 jobs from its global salaried workforce, just days after announcing its luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and e-models of its entire lineup will be launched by 2030. "The full review of the Jaguar Land Rover organization is already under way," the company said in an emailed statement. "We anticipate a net reduction of around 2,000 people from our global salaried workforce in the next financial year," it said. However, it added that the organizational review did not impact hourly paid, manufacturing employees. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said earlier that its Land Rover brand will launch six fully electric models over the next five years, with the first in 2024. Known for its iconic, high-performance E-Type model in the 1960s and 1970s, Jaguar faces the same challenges as many other carmakers as it transitions to electric vehicles while trying to retain the feeling and power of a luxury combustion engine model. Last month, Tata Motors said it was concerned by semiconductor shortages and Brexit-related supply disruptions as its luxury car sales recover, although the Indian automaker added these had not yet hit production. Tata Motors posted three straight quarters of losses as the COVID-19 crisis dented sales, exacerbating uncertainties over Britain's exit from the European Union, weak demand and rising costs, but had bounced back to clock a profit in its third quarter to the end of December. The 2,000 reduction in JLR's non-factory jobs was reported earlier on Wednesday by Sky News.
