1989 Land Rover Defender 110 County Sw 12 Seater 2.5 Turbo Diesel 100% Original on 2040-cars
Peterborough, United Kingdom
|
Welcome to the sale of my much loved 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 County Station Wagon 12 Seater D Turbo. Vin Number SALLDHMB7FA397393 Engine Number 19J29130C This Landy was first registered in August 1989, it has had 7 owners in that time and has covered a little over 132000 miles (averages to 5300 miles per year) I can Guarantee this mileage to be correct as i have every MOT (UK yearly safety check certificate) from its first in 1992 and i will put a full 12 month MOT on the truck upon sale. The truck sits on its original chassis, and has all the original mechanical parts (engine, gearbox, axles etc) it was built with, making it a perfect import vehicle for the US or Canada once it comes of age next august. In the past 6 months the truck has had loads of money spent, it has had new cambelt, water-pump and radiator, rear half of exhaust, 5 new wheels and tyres, new snorkel, new headlights, new front bumper, front td5 grill set, A bar, side steps, full length roof rack, rear ladder, rear bumper corners, heavy duty rear wheel carrier, all new heavy duty suspension shocks and springs, new steering guard and front diff guard, chequer plate wing tops, air horns, command console, steering wheel, privacy glass in rear, full length canopy / awning, it also comes with power steering as standard, a heater that works, rear heated window, sunroof, towbar, 12 seats with seatbelts and the original Land Rover high-lift jack kit. Being as original as this makes it a very rare thing to find and a very sound investment, it is without a doubt the best defender i have ever owned it drives as well as any 5 year old defender you put it against and looks better than most and will prove a lot more reliable if looked after correctly. As you will know defenders are not built for comfort but the County was the top of the hill in defender spec so its a really usable every day truck its starts first time every time, its puffs a little grey smoke first thing as they all do, but this clears in seconds and does not return all day, its reasonable on fuel i average around 23 miles per gallon of diesel (UK Gallon = 1.2 US). As i mentioned the engine and gearbox are the original 1989 units so will not win any speed races but this is the turbo diesel model so keeps up with traffic easily and will sit at 60 / 70 all day long if that is what you want it do do, the gearchange is good and smooth although the pedal is a little heavy, the servo assisted brakes are good and pull up well for a 3 ton 25 year old truck and it performs all this stuff in a straight line. Off the beaten track is where these really come into their own and everything on this truck it ready for a outback camping trip, it will pretty much drive anywhere you and 11 passenger point it, all the 4x4 system hi/low transfer box works perfectly as you would expect As you can see the car is stunning, it has just had a full respray in frozen white which makes it look very modern (it was originally faded blue which looked very tired) and gets it noticed where ever it goes and with the roof rack it stands 8 feet tall so you don't really lose it in car parks. the bonnet is the original and has dents all over it, i never did this because it reminds me of the character of the truck and it wears them well. The interior again is original and in amazing condition considering the age or the truck, there is a little wear hole in the drivers seat and the middle rear seat sags on the edge but otherwise all the seat faces could be new, the rears of the middle seats have some tears from loading and the roof lining is nice and clean but sags a little but his wouldn't be a big job for a re-trimmer if you want the truck mint. The carpets in the front are worn but the rest of the carpets are in good order. The chassis of the truck again is in very good condition and looks to have been regularly wax-oiled to prevent any corrosion which i will have done again prior to shipping. The truck for all its brilliance has a few niggling things, these are, the new steering wheel does not cancel the indicators so something worth remembering, there is no radio although the CD player works fine and has an av jack but the unit needs replacing, its old a sounds rubbish. I think that's about all i can say about this Lovely Landy. All Questions Viewings Trials and Checks are welcome and indeed encouraged, i will answer asap. This Land Rover is currently in daily use and for sale in the UK, i will continue to drive it until either its sold or i replace it with my next toy. Upon sale i can either deliver the car to your agent in the UK or i can store the truck in a secure container until it becomes eligible for import in august 2014 at which time i will deliver it to the port and safely see it aboard a container ship bound for you nearest east coast port where you will need to meet it with all the relevant registration documentation (which i have) a CBP form, a HS-7 declaration and an EPA form 3520-1. the reason for the time delay is that once 25 years old this truck becomes exempt from the EPA and DOT regulations on imported vehicles so just the 2.5% import duty and the registration and your driving your new defender in the first week of September. The Buy It Now prices includes insurance, storage and shipping to the east coast of the US. Any offers accepted will not include this and you as the buyer will be responsible for arranging collection and shipping unless otherwise agreed before hand. Payment is to be made via bank transfer, i will require at least 50% of the payment within 7 days of purchase and the other 50% Prior to dispatch or upon collection Sorry the vehicle can only be released upon receipt of cleared funds. Hopefully i have answered most questions within this listing but please feel free to get in touch. |

Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper
Thu, Feb 25 2021Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all. But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point. Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8. While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7
Fri, Mar 22 2019Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.
