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

All-electric Jaguar XJ coming soon on platform shared with 'Road Rover'

Mon, Jun 24 2019

We've been posting on the likelihood of electric Jaguars for a while now, especially the XJ leading the charge as a new EV flagship. Rumors at the beginning of 2018 predicted an XJ EV on our doorstep by the end of 2018, the 50th anniversary year of the XJ. By April this year, it was looking like the battery-powered XJ would use the I-Pace platform and make an appearance sometime in 2019. Now, Automotive News Europe reports that during Jaguar Land Rover's Investor's Day presentations, the automaker said it would debut a "large SUV and a large premium sedan" on its Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) suitable for EVs, hybrids and traditional ICE-powered cars. The sedan in question is the next-gen XJ. Nick Rogers, JLR's product engineering boss, said electric MLA vehicles will get 90.2-kWh batteries that return range of up to 400 kilometers (292 miles) on the European cycle. That would effectively be the same size battery as the I-Pace, which rides on its own one-off platform, and the same range; in the U.S., the I-Pace is rated at 234 miles. It's said the XJ's design, produced by former Jaguar design chief Ian Callum and his team, has already been cleared. It swaps the four-door body for a five-door, a la the Audi A7, and introduces a new design language for the car and the carmaker. Car and Driver says the new statement sedan aims to be "a cutting-edge alternative to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class," and Autocar saying it will "remain Jaguar's flagship in preference to a large SUV, such as the rumored J-Pace." The point of introducing the EV first is to establish the car's technology and sporting credentials — hopefully before the Porsche Taycan and Audi E-Tron GT arrive. Eventually, an ICE version of the XJ powered by an Ingenium inline-six should come; that will welcome buyers not ready to make the all-EV switch, a necessary move in keeping with the XJ's competition for global sales with the S-Class and 7 Series. However, leaving room in the design for a conventional drivetrain will force compromises that the all-electric competition doesn't face. Production of the current XJ ends at the Castle Bromwich facility on July 5. The new sedan is slated to be "announced in the near future" and built at JLR's plant in Solihull, which assembles Land Rover products. The same MLA platform will support a road-focused Land Rover as a sibling to the XJ, dubbed the "Road Rover" internally.

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot.  CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.

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.
