we did a rare find. The London police department decided to let go of their
beloved Land Rover Defender 110 which was their show vehicle for 27 years. It
was a gift by Land Rover in the late 1980’s to get exposure in the London area.
It was dry stored all the time and serviced by Land Rover specialists which
shows! When we bought
it, it was in an excellent state. No rust at all, very well treated and
serviced. The chassis looks like it just rolled out of the factory. Although it
was in this condition we did a full rebuild on the engine, due to its age. We
gave her new brakes all around, new suspension and shocks and lots of other parts
that showed marks of age. Therefore we can guarantee that she’ll have an
excellent second life in the US. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS (see pictures!!) Engine:
Complete Rebuild, all new or restored parts Brakes: All
new brakes around. Discs, calipers, pads, etc. Suspension: New
spring and new heavy duty shocks all around Drivetrain Oils: All
new. Gearbox, transfer box, axles, diffs, etc. Chassis:
Already in mint condition, see pictures! The Engine The 3.5 V8
engine is a very reliable and easy to maintain engine. It was developed many
years back so when installed in the Defender it was a fully developed and
popular engine. It isn’t the most powerful power source in the world, but it
pulls good and takes you everywhere. We carried out a complete engine overhaul.
All gaskets new, lubricants fresh, sparkplugs and leads, and so on. The Transmission She has a 5
speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent.
No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it
should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and
differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and
next to the gearbox stick. The Body The aluminum
body and paintwork are in a very good condition. Of course you can see here and
there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 27 year old
vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust
free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is
pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the
locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly
looked after. The Defender has
a tow bar with electrics. The Chassis The complete
chassis is in mint condition (see pictures). It is hard and strong as to expect
from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance
that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the London
police department. The chassis
number or VIN is clearly visible. US VIN decoders won't recognize this VIN
because it's a European VIN. The VIN is: SALLDHMV7BA278219
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are in a
very good and original condition. All have good quality seat belts. The tires The Defender has
got 4 good all terrain tires and a spare on the rear door. The tires are perfect
for road use and not too heavy terrain. If you want to go into heavy terrain
with sand, mud and dirt, it is to be advised to put a set of mud tires on it. Service It has just got
a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box
and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power steering system is in
excellent condition. Customs, title and delivery The vehicle passed all DOT,
EPA and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to
a lot of Defenders for sale on eBay, this Defender is already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary
paperwork will be included. Where needed, we can assist
with the titling as we have got the experience. If preferred, for
transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Contact me for more
details and quotes. Deposit We require a
deposit of $500, - within 24 hours after the end of auction.

Lots of Land Rovers, Jaguars and Minis actually survived that near-capsized ship
Thu, Jan 29 2015Despite a severe list to starboard, many of the 1,400 cars and SUVs aboard the 51,000-ton Hoegh Osaka are currently being recovered in salvageable condition, with video showing some of the vehicles from British brands Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini, being driven ashore under their own power. The car-carrying vessel developed a severe list on January 3 and was intentionally run aground on a sandbar between England and the Isle of Wight. It has since limped its way back to port in Southampton, where damage assessments are being conducted on both the ship and its $53-million in cargo. According to the company that owns the car carrier, the ship itself only suffered minor damage in the incident, while Car and Driver is reporting that many of the damaged vehicles will almost certainly be scrapped. Still, the fact that there are vehicles, some of which appear undamaged (look at that Defender at 0:50!), being removed from the Hoegh Osaka needs to count as a net win.

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card
Thu, Feb 16 2023Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
