1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Station Wagon 7-seats Very Original Condition on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
|
Here we have a very original 1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Station Wagon. This is a right-hand drive model recently imported from the UK. eBay does not recognize the UK VIN and lists the vehicle as a 1980 model, however, it is a 1987 and I have the UK registration document to verify this. It is a genuine Defender 90 station wagon with seating for seven. It has the
3.5L V8 which is quite rare for this UK model (most have the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel
or petrol.) It starts, runs, drives and stops perfectly and has good power and
torque from the V8. Odometer has 111,000 recorded miles. Just prior to export the vehicle passed the UK Ministry of
Transport (MOT) test, which is required every year in the UK. This test is much
more stringent than the inspections we have here in the US and the Land Rover
passed no problem. The MOT test also advises on issues that may arise with the
vehicle in the near future, however the Land Rover passed clear with no
advisories and is therefore a safe and sound vehicle and certified to drive on
UK roads. I will provide the MOT certificate to the new buyer. I have all the import paperwork from US Customs and the vehicle
is ready to be titled and registered in the US. Check with your state on
requirements for titling and registering and I will ensure you have the
required paperwork. I can title the vehicle in Texas if required. Exterior The paint and exterior decals all appear to be original. The
vehicle is very clean and paint is shiny. Land Rover panels are aluminum and
over the years can tend to oxidize. Where this occurs it causes the paint to
bubble up and this has happened in a few places on the bodywork. This is purely
cosmetic and as you can see from the pictures the vehicle still looks good but
close up the oxidation is noticeable. Interior The interior is again very original, clean and tidy for 27
years old. It has the original Land Rover fitted rubber floor mats. Nothing bad
to say about the interior apart from the headliner panel is sagging slightly in
the rear. Mechanical Then engine and 5-speed transmission perform very well. It
starts runs and idles well. It shifts through the gears well with no funny
noises. Clutch is strong and smooth. Brakes are also strong and smooth. Vehicle
runs very well with no issues. The chassis has had some weld repairs over the
years and has had a new rear cross-member fitted recently. Vehicle is located in Spring, TX, just north of Houston.
Viewing welcome. I will help with shipping where I can or work with your
designated shipper. I require a $500 deposit within 24hrs of eBay sale and full
payment with 7 days by bank transfer. Collection within 14 days. |

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830
Fri, May 3 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

All Jaguars and Land Rovers to get diesel engines... almost
Mon, Jan 12 2015Virtually all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles – except the F-Type sports car – will get a diesel engine option in the next three years, the company confirmed Sunday night at an event before the Detroit Auto Show. The aggressive blitz begins this fall, when the 2016 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will launch with available turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines. They will push out 254 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, while returning fuel economy of up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The combined rating in city and highway driving will be 25 mpg. The Rovers will be followed in 2016 by the XE sedan and F-Pace crossover, which will offer the 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines, in addition to gasoline units. The diesel-powered XE is expected to get at least 40 mpg on the highway, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Joe Eberhardt said. The oil-burners are expected to offer 20-to-30 percent improvements in fuel economy compared with gasoline engines, depending on the vehicle. JLR's announcement comes as gasoline prices have plummeted in the United States, and regular fuel costs about $1 less than a gallon of diesel, according to AAA research. Still, the company is taking the long view, and Eberhardt said diesel engines offer greater performance and range than other options. JLR expects about 20 percent of its customers will opt for diesel engines. "We strongly believe this is what our customers will want, regardless of the fluctuations in gas prices," he said.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As 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.
