1986 LANDROVER 90 3.5 V8 IN BLACK WITH OFF ROAD EXTRAS

Ebay does not recognise the UK vin which is - SALLDHAV7FA365345

This Landrover unlike many others for sale is already in the USA and comes with a SC title so no worry about getting EPA and DOT approval along with getting a title as all this has been done. I am located in Bluffton, SC, 29910.

$500 deposit required within 24 hours of auction end and full payment within 5 days. Payment can be by cash etc if collecting in person or by wire transfer if having it couriered.


The Landrover itself is a right hand driver Landrover 90 that was built new in 1986. It has been recently imported from the UK where the previous owner has used it somewhat as an off-road toy as you can see by the added off road extras it has fitted. It has the original 3.5 litre v8 gasoline engine and 5 speed manual transmission. The extras that have been fitted include an off road set of wheels with off road tyres, heavy duty tree sliders, heavy duty tow on the front and rear, winch bumper and winch (not wired in) and also an integral roll cage. This Landover has obviously been used for off roading and has a few dings around the body but mainly to the roof. It looks worse than it is as a new roof could be fitted if wanted as all panels are removable on these.

The main thing with this 90 is the fact that the frame is in superb condition. It has had the rear cross member changed at some point so that expensive job has been taken care of. The outriggers are in excellent shape as is all of the chassis and no work is needed to be done to it. The bulkhead is in great shape and is again nice and solid. The floor pans have been replaced and are in good shape. The door frames are also in very good condition for one of these. I have taken many images of the chassis below so please take a look for yourselves.

The interior is in good shape. The front seats are in a beige cloth material and are in remarkable condition for the age of the vehicle. There is no wear and no stains to them at all and they are very good indeed. To the rear of the 90 is the installed roll frame. In here there is also an off-road spare and also a genuine Landrover high lift jack. You will notice that there are 2 storage boxes in the rear. These are full of brand new spare parts etc for the Landy. There are new coils, new ht leads, new fan belts, alternator belts, spark plugs, filters etc etc and I'm sure this will be handy when spares are needed.

The Landy cranks up well. The fuel pump has just been renewed as the old one was a little bit lazy. The motor sounds good with no nasty noises etc and runs nicely. The exhaust has been upgraded to a twin exit which sounds a bit louder than normal but I see that as a positive especially with the V8 motor. The transmission is a 5 speed manual LT77 box which has the top left reverse. All gears shift well with no issues. The clutch is also good and the brakes, steering, suspension etc are all good.

In conclusion this is a very solid Landrover 90 with a superb, strong chassis. It has some great off road extras fitted and will be a great piece of kit for someone regardless of the various dings and marks and most importantly it has a SC title so its good to go :-))

Happy bidding

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Jaguar Land Rover rescues British off-road tuner Bowler

Wed, Dec 18 2019

Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicles Operation (SVO) rescued British off-road tuner Bowler from an uncertain fate. The firm has worked with Land Rover in the past, but it has always been independent. While JLR isn't in an ideal position to make acquisitions, and its recent financial troubles are well documented, Bowler was on the brink of shutting down. The small, 34-year old company had entered administration, and the 26 people it employed risked losing their jobs. Monetary details haven't been released, meaning we don't know how much Bowler was worth, but the firm pointed out it's now fully owned by SVO. It joins SV, Vehicle Personalization, and Classic as the division's fourth pillar. It's too early to tell precisely where Bowler will fit in the JLR latticework, because the initial focus will be on stabilizing the company. It will remain based in Belper, England, and every member of its full-time staff has been offered a position as a JLR employee. Bowler made a name for itself by turning the original Defender into a rally car, and Land Rover said the expertise it acquired during decades of racing is highly sought after, so that's a hint we'll see more hardcore models developed jointly by the two companies sooner or later. The new Defender would lend itself well to the Bowler treatment. The Bowler name could replace the SVX nameplate used on the stillborn, V8-powered Discovery, for example. The tuner's focus on off-pavement performance means we're unlikely to see a Bowler-badged Jaguar, but anything is possible as global demand for SUVs (especially quick ones) continues to rise. What's certain is that, once Bowler is stable, it will grow bigger.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
