I am saying it is a 1980 since eBay would not recognize a British VIN
number, but it is a 1987.
This is a 1987 Authentic Land Rover Defender D110 County Station Wagon,
doesn't get any more British than a White Landie D110, compare to one of the 550 imported in 1993 as NAS.
  All British (MG,
Rover, Coopers) cars leak, rust and smoke and this one is in pretty good
shape given its age. It has rust, it smokes a bit at start up, it stinks and
it leaks a wee little bit (power steering suspected), but not as bad as other European cars I have had.
It leaks rain on the left/passenger side, deep winter floor mats catch it and empty it
out after rain event. So I bought it on UK eBay. I drove my wife's German
specifications D110 to England and "traded" for this one. We call him the "Governor".  Drove it back to
Germany, put new tires and rims on it and begged previous owner to get some
used parts for it. He will ship a replacement transmission for it soon and
comes with the sale price, should current tranny fail you have a spare. It
started out green according to its V5, title documents; previous owner was
in London before guy/dealer I bought from. Shipped it privately to
Baltimore, had it trailered to Virginia where it is awaiting customs and
port documents to title and get tags for it in Virginia. It has an Ex-Tec
diamond plate roof rack on it from my wife's 2002 Defender worth about
$1,500. I got a lot invested in getting this car out of UK then Germany and
shipped to USA, so please take into consideration all of the hassle of getting
it to USA, worth about $3,500 in shipping and transportation costs alone.
Land Rovers are like Ford F150 to Brits, mostly farmers own them, and some
don't even get plates for them and just drive them on their farms. They have
mild winters so salt on roads is not very common. Farmers are great
mechanics; they have to be in order to keep their machines working. But it's
hard to find a D110 which hasn't had a Discovery turbo diesel dropped in it
which can be imported to USA as older than 25 year old antique. If you own a
business like surf shop or auto detailing or kitchen cabinet installer and
want to draw attention to your business this is the truck for you. It is a
man cave on wheels. Not recommended for little women, it is a big vehicle
and steering it is like a semi truck. Rides great on the interstates though, not bouncey like a D90 or Jeep. Tires
will have to be professionally balanced since tire shop did not have a
machine with large center for the bigger rims. So do some browsing of 1993
Land Rover Defender D110 NAS which they only made 550 of that one year. All
White except Ralph Lauren's black, 50 went to Canada. 500 left. If you can
get a low mileage one in this shape it will cost you about $30,000. If you
had that NAS professionally restored it would cost you $100,000 and a 3 year
wait. If you find a low mileage NAS in great shape expect to pay $80,000 to $150,000.
This is here,in Virginia being cleaned up and will be driven to New Jersey shortly, and ready to be sold (once shipping company coughs
up the documents). I would paint it but leave that to you the buyer to start
customizing it to your taste.  White, Black, Orange or Yellow would really amke it stand out.

Is Land Rover developing an all-electric Tesla Model X rival?

Fri, Oct 31 2014

Tesla will soon put its all-electric Model X crossover on sale, and if it's anywhere near as successful as the brand's four-door sedan the Model S, then it'll be a hell of an attention getter for mainstream automakers. Land Rover isn't waiting for proof of the Model X's success, though. According to reports, Land Rover could be preparing an all-electric Range Rover. Likely more crossover than full-size SUV, the new vehicle would probably be far more aerodynamic than current models. But the new EV would still take advantage of LR's high-tech aluminum structure, and could potentially be a close relative of the production Jaguar C-X17, according to Autocar. It seems unlikely that this new Land Rover EV will have the off-road chops of the brand's other models, but that doesn't mean that will be useless on the rough stuff. AC, citing Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern, claims that a height-adjustable air suspension will allow a low, aerodynamic ride height for high-speed travel while it can easily be transitioned to a higher level for off-road duty. As for range, AC believes (and we agree) that a successful effort would need to get as close as possible to the Model S' 265-mile EV range. Autocar is anticipating a price of around 90,000 pounds, equivalent to $144,000, which roughly matches the cost of a UK-market Model S. If the Range Rover EV comes stateside, we'd wager that prices will start under six figures, much like the US-market Tesla.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
