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.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Watch thieves dressed like ninjas hit dealership, steal $583,000 worth of Land Rovers

Fri, Feb 23 2024

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said. Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door. Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole. “Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV. The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said. One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said. Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.” Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects. Six of the nine stolen vehicles have been recovered — four in Chicago, one in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, and one in Wisconsin after the highway crash that led to the 17-year-old's arrest, he said.
