1987 Land Rover Defender D 110 County Station Wagon Suv 9 Seater on 2040-cars

Year:1980 Mileage:190000
Location:

Cape May, New Jersey, United States

Cape May, New Jersey, United States

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.

Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more

Thu, Apr 8 2021

The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — “I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses   2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR to debut this week at New York Auto Show

Mon, Mar 26 2018

It should come as no surprise that the folks back in England have been working on a hot new version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Today, just ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the British automaker confirmed that the Jaguar F-Pace SVR will debut this week. The new Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe will make their North American debuts alongside the F-Pace. All we know about the F-Pace SVR is that it will be the fastest and most powerful version of Jaguar's best-selling product. We don't even have a teaser photo, as Jaguar Land Rover loves to play things close to the vest, so we're sharing some spy photos that we think might be the new model. Expect some version of JLR's 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We're hoping it's the 575 horsepower variant from the refreshed Range Rover Sport SVR. Expect 0-60 mph times in the low-4-second range and a top speed of at least 155 mph. The I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe both debuted earlier this month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The I-Pace is an all-electric crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range. The SV Coupe is a limited-production two-door variant of the full-size Range Rover. It's meant to be a throwback to the original two-door Range Rover Classic. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
