Rare Genuine Factory County Station Wagon 7 Seater

Hi and thanks for looking at our listing for this Landrover Defender 90. Unlike many sellers this Landrover is in the USA and comes with all relevant EPA and DOT clearance all ready for the new owner to title. The Landrover is originally from the United Kingdom and it still has 10 months of the UK MOT remaining. For those unfamiliar with the MOT it is a 12 monthly requirement in the UK for all vehicles where they check things such as brakes, lights, steering, chassis, and all round general safety. I have this certificate to hand and will be given to the new keeper which guaranteed you a safe, roadworthy Landrover.

The Vehicle

The Landrover itself is a rare factory County Station Wagon. This means it has the "County" pack which is basically a cloth interior, alloy wheels, alpine windows in the roof and a sunroof etc. Being the Station Wagon means that it has the rare 4 fold down individual seats which would have been factory fitted. You see many Defenders that have had the side windows cut in and bench seats installed and these are inferior compared to these genuine ones as these have all the trim around the windows and roof lining which the others generally do not. The engine is the original 4 cylinder 2.5 diesel which is renowned as being one of the most reliable engines to have in one of these. They will do nearly 35-40 MPG and will achieve speeds up to 80 mph so more than enough for driving on the Freeway.

The Body

The exterior is finished in a white/cream color which is the original color and has not been altered in any way. The paintwork is in good shape and has a good finish to it. The bodies on these Defenders are Aluminium panels and I am pleased to say it is in excellent order for its age. The combination of steel on the inside and aluminium on the outside causes oxidation spots and there a couple of light ones in a couple of places but nothing major at all. But for a 28 year old Landrover, it really is excellent and more importantly, straight and solid. The bulkhead is in superb shape and there are no obvious signs of any repairs etc. The footwells are also in good solid condition.

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 3 front seats are finished in original trim and they are in decent condition with just a couple of minor marks. The 4 rear fold down seats all operate as they ought to and again just have a couple of light marks from 28 years of use. The dashboards and door cards are original, complete and in decent condition. The carpets and roof lining is also nice and clean and its been well cared for by the previous owners down the years.

Mechanicals

The 2.5 litre 4 cylinder diesel engine is one of the best and most relaible engine Land rover ever built. They are made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never let you down. It has been well serviced and cared for and there are some receipts for work done so its ready to go for the next 100k miles. Look after these simple engines and they will give years of trouble free economical motoring. The Landrover has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both the gearbox and transfer box work excellent. There are no nasty noises rattles whatsoever. The gear selection is all nice and smooth both up and down the box. The Defender is permanent four wheel drive . The high/low gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. There is a small gearknob near the main gear stick to select the low range gears.

The Chassis

The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the previous owner. The Chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN is SALLDVBC7AA251853

2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland

Wed, Jun 8 2016

Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called Â– would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Jaguar Land Rover reportedly developing Road Rover car

Tue, Sep 26 2017

Reports are circulating in the automotive media that Jaguar Land Rover is developing a vehicle that's not an SUV. Called the Road Rover, it would be an all-electric luxury car with "some" all-terrain capability, hinting at all wheel drive. Initially, the EV would launch in late 2019, then spawn more models to complete the lineup. There is also talk about JLR's interest in an outright purchase of an existing luxury car brand to join its portfolio, and that parent company Tata has already given this strategic move the green light. Tata has also reportedly made moves to protect its JLR ownership via acquiring more of its own stock. All this excitement brings to mind the fact that there once existed an actual Road Rover — the Rover brand. Having evolved into MG Rover before going into administration in 2005 and subsequently reborn in China under SAIC Motor ownership, Rover was a moderately posh British carmaker just beneath the level of prestige that Jaguar offered. For some years, both were part of the same corporation. The last Rover saloons were designed and built with BMW input, and at that point Land Rover had already become part of Ford, almost a decade after Jaguar did. Ford's tenure with Land Rover lasted from 2000 to 2008, when Tata bought the British brand Â— along with the Rover name. Would it just make sense to badge the road car Rover, with no Road or Land affixed to it? Rover's slovenly demise is more than a decade old now, but there's plenty of valuable history still embedded in the long-shelved Viking ship logo. Cast aside memories of Sterling-badged Honda Legend platform siblings and unattractively Federalized SD1 series cars, and take whatever good the 1999-2005 Rover 75 brought to the table Â— maybe it's time for Rover to be reborn in the current Jaguar Land Rover family. According to Autocar, the first Road Rover would be developed in tandem with the next-generation Jaguar XJ, so they would share an aluminum architecture suitable for both internal combustion engines and battery electric technology, depending of the model. If anything, there is delicious irony to this: The 1980s XJ generation that Jaguar spent decades developing was claimed to be engineered in such a way that the occasional stablemate Rover's Buick-derived 3,5-liter V8 wouldn't have fit in its engine bay Â— to preserve the Jaguar bloodline. To have the new XJ and a Rover cross paths again would only be fitting. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
