Defender to make it my project for the US market, it was already in a very good
shape. The previous owner took real good care of her, which was clearly visible
and that’s what convinced me to buy her. The paintwork was in good order, the interior
was beautiful, the engine and gearbox running nicely. Lots of receipts came
with her so I knew he wasn’t hesitating to invest in her. I decided to rebuild
the engine even though it was running excellent. I did it lots of times and it
is way cheaper for me to do it and letting it be done in the US. So I can
guarantee that this engine will run for miles and miles. I put a roof rack on her,
cleaned and wax oiled the chassis and did lots of other things listed below to give
the future buyer a good start on his Land Rover Experience:
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 is was 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, timing belt new, full length new exhaust 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. It was been repainted five
years ago. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some
scratches and age 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 windscreen has
some wiper scratches on the passenger side. Note that this is a classic vehicle
so there are marks of age, not many though! The Defender has
a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to
go through deep water. The heavy duty roof rack makes it look complete. 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. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible
and authentic. The VIN is: SALLDHMV7EA331748
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and as good as new. The 9 seats are finished in black
half leather. There is a multimedia device installed with LCD screen which pops
out when switched on. 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. Send an email for quotes. Deposit We require a deposit of $500, - within 24 hours after the end of auction.

the quality of the LRD110 I purchased from you off EBay. I have
now used the truck for 6 months with trouble-free service. I have
had a few repairs done by two separate LRD specialists (one near each of my
houses) both of whom have heavily praised the truck's condition given
its age. I have purchased two vehicles off of EBay - and I'm sure you
guys know that it can be risky. Thanks for being so diligent in finding
this clean original specimen! The experience has been "just
what I wanted". Best regards, j.d. (To verify, check my EBay feedback of August 16th 2013)
Land Rover Defender 110s, especially classic years
like 1987, are rare finds. To find one so well prepared and to work with
a guy like Daniel van Oort who helped every step of the way and went way beyond
our expectations even past delivery is AMAZING. I had such a great
experience with Daniel. He kept me always informed of the process as our
beautiful “Ms Red” made it through customs in Baltimore. He coordinated
everything perfectly. As with all classic vehicles > 25 years old,
there can always be subtle issues at first. There were a few, like a
small dent in the bumper which occurred somewhere in shipping to the US.
Daniel wasted no time negotiating these minor problems. He just
dropped a new bumper in the post at his cost and several other spare parts or
small items after that. Daniel knew I was a new LR owner and had much to
learn. He never hesitated to send me advice and support. He
quickly returned every email, was available from 1/2 way around the world when
I was going through the tag & title process in Texas to make sure I had all
the documentation.
I would completely recommend Daniel and his
organization for future purchases and, in fact, I have been circulating his
name among Land Rover clubs and social media that I participate in. He’s
a top notch seller and there’s nothing I would change about our experience.
My family and I have already created lots of great memories in our Land
Rover Defender 110 and the candy-apple red color is a head turner!! We
always get lots of compliments from other Land Rover classic owners who really
know their stuff. They are also impressed with my experiences, the value
and services I received from Daniel.
Thanks Daniel. Many more memories to come and my
wife now wants a Land Rover Defender of her own….so will be in touch soon.

Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission
Sat, Dec 20 2014Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
Jaguar wants to become the British electric company
Thu, Sep 8 2016Jaguar has been telegraphing its electric future for years, and this week we're beginning to see it come to fruition. The company's Formula E race team officially launched September 8 with sponsorship, livery, and an interesting name for its racecar, the I-Type 1. It marks Jaguar's return to factory-supported racing and serves as a model for the company's future strategy. "The Formula E championship will enable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions," Nick Rogers, executive director of product engineering at Jaguar Land Rover, said in a statement. "We will apply this vital knowledge as part of our real-world development." Formula E competition starts October 9 as the all-electric racing series begins its third season. Panasonic signed on as the title sponsor of the team. Formula E is a natural move for Jag and allows the British company to remain true to its racing heritage while still looking toward. The company claims seven Le Mans titles, which is the fourth-most in history, even though it hasn't won one since 1990. That's a great lineage, but Jaguar knows it's getting dusty. Launching a Formula E effort allows it to compete in a form of motorsports that should prove relevant to road-car technology. Jag is drawing on Williams Advanced Engineering (you might have heard of its F1 team) for the electric powertrain. Williams also helped with the development of Jaguar's C-X75 plug-in concept car. Meanwhile, we also captured an F-Pace crossover silently testing this week in the Alps. Though it looks like a normal F-Pace, spy shooters report it was producing no engine noise, leading (or perhaps leaping) to the conclusion it's the rumored electric SUV Jaguar is working on. Likely, this prototype has a diesel engine as a range extender. View 11 Photos Though the camouflaged F-Pace is great fodder for speculation, Jag's electric efforts are not a secret. Jaguar and Land Rover showed off three electric-vehicle demonstrators last year and the company is exploring everything from mild hybrids to full electric powertrains. JLR has filed paperwork to secure trademarks for I-Pace and E-Pace. "JLR is definitely rushing headfirst into electrification," said Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis for research firm AutoPacific.
Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant
Tue, Aug 11 2015Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

With its established premium automotive industry, Slovakia is an attractive possible development opportunity.
