The ALPINA Land Rover Defender 110 1988 2,5 Turbo Diesel engine 68.000 Miles · Lots of new parts Introduction: The Alpina The Vehicle As you will see
in the list below, lots of work has been done and even more money has been
spend to get this Land Rover in a very good state and working order. It’s
originally from Cambridge, UK, where it has been used by a family as their
holiday vehicle. It was dry stored and therefore in a really good condition
when we bought her as our new project. First we started
by stripping her down to bare aluminum. Then it got professionally sprayed in
Alpine White, like the Defender NAS. When finished, all the parts where put
back in place. As we tried to keep it as original as possible, most parts are
the original parts but some of them where necessary to replace for new ones.
When the body work was finished, our Land Rover mechanic started working on
her. Everything got thoroughly checked, repaired or replaced to make sure the
Alpina is completely ready for her new life. Underneath you will find a short
list/summary. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS
The Engine The 2.5 liter 4
cylinder turbo diesel engine, is one of the best and most reliable engines land
rover ever build. They’re made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never
let you down. The turbo gives the extra torque you need. A lot of work has been
done to make it ready for the next 100k miles. So no maintenance to be expected
in the near future. Please promise us to service Aplina on a regular basis, as
she will last a lot longer on fresh oil and regular TLC (tender, love and
care). 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. The recent paintjob makes the
vehicle look like new. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new,
some scratches and age marks. Also on some spots the combination of steel on
the inside and thin aluminum on the outside causes some small marks. But for a
26 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. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to
go through deep water. The Chassis The complete
chassis is in perfect condition. 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
previous owner. Worth mentioning is that the steering guard bar has a small
dent, which hasn't effect on the function. 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: SALLDHMB7EA329668
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are a in
very good and original condition. The radio is old and is ready to be thrown
out of the window. It’s your decision to plug in a new radio to your needs. The
whole infrastructure is there. The tires The Defender has
got 4 good all terrain tires and a brand new spare. It’s to be advised that if
you are going to use the truck only on normal roads, to put normal road tires
on it. If going to be used primarily on dirt roads or off road, put off-roaders
under 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

Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?
Tue, 01 Jul 2014At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
