This is an auction for my 1987 Land Rover Defender 90. The VIN is correct and as ebay will not accept it I had to change the above information to a 1980. Again the VIN is correct and the Defender is a 1987. Along with the title, a heritage certificate will be supplied stating that the vehicle left the Lode Lane factory at Solihull on the 30th March 1987. Due to the vehicles age it is very easy to import into the US. I have no problem driving down to the border where the new owner would simply fill out Customs Form 7501 and pay 2% duty. As the vehicle is over 25 years of age B.C. residents could register it as a collectors vehicle and benefit from much reduced insurance premiums. I imported this vehicle directly from the British Army in 2011 and after a complete rebuild I covered over 12,000 KMS without incident. Vehicle is currently inspected and registered in B.C. Canada.
ENGINE : 2495cc 12J 4 cylinder normally aspirated diesel. 65.5 bhp at 4000 RPM. 113 lbft of torque at 1800 RPM. 5 bearing crank. Perfect working order. Driven normally you can expect around 25 MPG. Vehicle has a top speed of 130 KPH but this is just an indication of gearing and much prefers to cruise around the 100 KPH mark. Fully overhauled 12,000 KMS ago. All seals, belts etc. Fully reconditioned injection pump and injectors. A later PVC system was also fitted. Block heater fitted. It also benefits from an oil cooler and a 16" Kenlowe electric fan. Straight through exhaust system. Vehicle will be supplied with new oil and filter.
CHASSIS : Original and perfect. Never welded or repaired. Bulkhead is also original and unrepaired. There has been two small repairs in the footwells.Photos will be provided upon request.
TRANSMISSION : LT77 5 speed manual. Permanent 4WD with manual diff lock and high/low ratio. Remote breathers on gearbox,transfer box and both axles. Free from any defects. No crunching or jumping out of gear.
BRAKES : Discs up front with drums on the rear. Perfect working order. Standard dual circuit, servo assisted.
STEERING : Light and precise. Original LHD manual box.
MILEAGE: Speedo is in KMS and shows 149875. For miles I multiplied this figure by 0.6214
BODYWORK : The aluminium alloy bodywork still has lots of dents or patina if you prefer. Please see photos. It is very straight. Bare metal respray in urethane, deep bronze green. The hard top/back door takes around half an hour to remove and around an hour to reinstall.
OTHER NEW PARTS : All new one piece door seals. New windscreen and seals. Halogen headlamps.
QUESTIONS : Heater is excellent in both cab heat and defrost. If vehicle goes to a cold climate I will supply a Land Rover radiator muff which improves things even more. I am happy to help with any collection or delivery instructions. Please note that this is an extremelt tough yet basic vehicle. No power steering, no ABS, no aircon. The windscreen is hinged and folds down if you require more air. The doors are also quickly removed. It is a very simple vehicle and consequently very easy to maintain. Parts are inexpensive and readily available. I use paddockspares in the UK. If you are new to ebay or have less than 10 feedbacks please contact me before bidding. Please no requests for trades. This is an exeptional vehicle and the reserve is set accordingly. Ebay will let you know when and if the reserve has been met. Any inspectiond or test drives welcome. You can see and hear the vehicle running by visiting youtube and searching for "1987 military Defender 90 2.5 diesel LHD." If I have failed to answer any of your questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Vehicle is located at V1E 0B2, Salmon Arm, B.C. Canada. Thanks, Steven.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup
Wed, Jun 28 2017HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.
