1988 Land Rover 110 300tdi LHD SW This is a great opportunity to get an entry level 110 Diesel. You don't want to miss this chance to get a LHD 110 that is already stateside and legal. These trucks get harder and harder to bring in each year. This wonderful example will be a great starting point to build your perfect camping/adventuremobile...or you can drive it as is reliably as a DD. Everyone has their own ideas of what they need in a rig and that's why we are leaving this one up to you to personalize and build as you see fit. 100% legally imported and titled. Florida Title in hand. Truck gets a lot of attention and people love these things. Has full length roof rack and rear access ladder. Both have been texture painted black since the photos were taken. This 110 was purchased from Southern Spain in Gibraltar and then riven back up to England for shipment. As such, it is in good shape for its age and was spared from the rust of damp England. We just installed 5 brand new 235/85 Kenda MT tires that look and ride excellent. The truck runs very well and fires up right away. The 300tdi and auto came out of a low mileage discovery and were installed prior to our purchase. The engine is cleanly converted and is overall a nice install. No smoke while running or under heavy pedal. Small puff at start up but otherwise great none. The exhaust has a few leaks but it does not effect drive at all. There is only 187,000km or approximately 116,000 miles on the truck. For a 25yr old vehicle it is good shape. Frame is rot free and not covered in rust. Slight rust areas at the door bottoms, very some small rust at the upper bulkhead(easy fix if you need to) and a few small spots on the footwell. All of these are the common areas of concern with old Series adn 90/110's. Due to aodd design the water tends to pool on these surfaces and cause corrosion. However, this particular truck has a very minimal amount of oxidation. Bulkhead is otherwise solid. Structurally solid top to bottom. The paint is a bit aged in spots and it has some dents, but this is to be expected. Honestly paint and flawless exteriors are not what it's about with overlanding. As is it can be driven economically and made into the perfect adventure-mobile. Since we picked this truck up at the port in GA we have put 500km on it and it hasn't missed a beat. Recently took it to New Smyrna Beach and averaged 28mpg. It preformed wonderfully and got a lot of attention from the beach goers. For a 25yr old shed on wheels the 110 rode very smoothly and was quite comfortable cruising along at 60mph down the back roads of Central Florida. Suspension is firm as you would expect from the OME kit, but not overly so. This vehicle is 25yrs old and as such has the normal expected wear for it's age. Do not come expecting a showroom 110. If that is what you are looking for you are going to pay 30k+ and even then it will probably be RHD. That being said, it is a great truck that is the perfect starting point for your own adventure lifestyle. We aren't selling you just a truck....these things are a lifestyle. Go explore and travel well. Text for details and additional pics....it is easier for me to get back to you quickly via email/text. Calls are welcomed, however be sure and leave a message so I can remember to call you back if I don't answer. Blue roof awning is not included in sale. Key Points: *Imported legally and has passed all customs and DMV inspections. Titled, insured and driven daily currently so mileage can change. *4WD works perfectly and engages smoothly including diflock *No A/C (as some of you have asked). The 300TDI engine has a mounting location for AC to be installed if you feel the need. Honestly if you want a nice air conditioned vehicle I suggest you look towards the RRC or D1 *Transmission shifts smoothly *Brakes are working fine *Excellent Fuel economy *Brand New 235/85 Kenda MT tires and fullsize spare *Old Man Emu 755 Heavy Duty Springs *Paint is old, but really makes the truck look tough *No overheating or other problems associated with the engine *Not equipped with power steering *Has CD player but lacks speakers On Jul-03-14 at 08:33:19 PDT, seller added the following information: Please do not bid on this truck if your feedback is under 5 without first contacting me. This is to avoid any potential payment issues after sale. |

Jaguar Land Rover undergoes $3.2 billion turnaround plan as sales slump
Thu, Nov 1 2018MUMBAI — India's Tata Motors on Wednesday announced a turnaround plan for its luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover, which has been hit hard by trade tensions between China and the U.S., low demand for diesel cars in Europe and worries over Brexit. Under "Project Charge," Tata Motors said it plans to cut costs and improve cash flows at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) by 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) over 18 months. JLR also plans to launch several new vehicles, including the Jaguar I-Pace and the new Range Rover Defender over the next few years and will offer a hybrid or full-electric version of all its models by 2020. "Together with our ongoing product offensive and calibrated investment plans, these efforts will lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth," JLR CEO Ralf Speth said after Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss. JLR has trimmed its pre-tax profit expectations for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and expects to break even, Speth said, versus an earlier target of profit growth. As part of the turnaround plan, JLR will first focus on cash-saving "quick wins" like reducing non-product investments and speeding up asset sales, Tata Motors said in an investor presentation. In the near term it will improve efficiency in areas including purchasing and material cost, manufacturing, logistics and people, and will focus on strategic and non-core asset sales. JLR has already reduced the number of production days at its UK plants in Castle Bromwich and Solihull. The company said in its presentation it has saved 300 million pounds since it initiated the turnaround plan six weeks ago and is working on 500 ideas for the future. Tata Motors reported a loss of 10.49 billion rupees ($141.9 million) for the July-September quarter, compared with a profit of 24.83 billion rupees in the year-ago period. That was worse than the estimate of a loss of 2.40 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data. JLR reported a loss of 101 million pounds during the quarter and its margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell 130 basis points to 9.9 percent. Retail sales of its Jaguar sedans and Land Rover sport utility vehicles (SUVs) fell 13.2 percent to about 130,000 units, hurt particularly by tariff changes in China and escalating trade tensions. Demand in China remained muted even after the country cut import tariffs for cars and car parts to 15 percent for most vehicles from 25 percent from July.
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
Land Rover will put a Covid-nuking air filtration system in future cars
Tue, Mar 16 2021Jaguar - Land Rover (JLR) is developing an air filtration system that inhibits up to 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria. Designed like a face mask for your car's HVAC system, it's built on Panasonic's Nanoe X technology. Most of the company's models (including the Land Rover Defender) currently come equipped with Panasonic's Nanoe technology and PM2.5 filtration. Nanoe X is 10 times more effective, according to the brand, because it relies on a high voltage to create trillions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals enveloped in nano-sized water molecules. Think of them as Roman guards in front of a fortress: they keep the bad out, and ensure only the good can come in. Viruses and bacteria proteins are denatured when they come into contact with the filtration system, meaning they can't reproduce or grow. The OH radicals also zap common allergens and mold, but they're harmless to humans. JLR stressed it's not relying on computer simulations to decide whether its filtration system works as designed. It asked British laboratory Perfectus Biomed to perform a test that simulates a ventilation system in recirculation mode for a 30-minute cycle in a sealed chamber. The results were encouraging: 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria were nuked. The carmaker pointed out Panasonic's Nanoe X technology has been independently proven to inhibit 99.995% of coronaviruses during a two-hour laboratory test carried out by French immunology lab Texcell. Future models from Jaguar and Land Rover will use this technology, though a representative for both companies declined to tell us when it will reach production, and which nameplate(s) will inaugurate it. Meanwhile, Honda launched its own coronavirus killer across the pond. It's a cabin air filter sold as a genuine replacement part that consists of four layers, including one coated with an active substance of fruit extract that inactivates nearly 100% of the viral aerosols it captures. It's available in Europe through Honda dealers, but it won't be sold in America. Jaguar Land Rover
