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. |

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Win an electric car and celebrate Earth Day
Thu, Apr 22 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Enter to win this giveaway or any other Omaze experience now through April 23, 2021 and receive 500 extra entries into any campaign plus a chance to win $10K with code GOGREEN500. Simply add the discount at checkout. Whether you like it or not, there will come a day when most, if not all of us, will be driving electric cars. For some of us that day can't come soon enough, and in honor of Earth Day we've put together a list of our favorite car giveaways so you can save some green while being green. Win a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S and $20,000 - Enter Here If there’s one thing Porsche is good at, itÂ’s making fast, beautiful cars, and the Taycan Turbo S is no exception. Making 750 horsepower, 774 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 161 miles per hour, punching the accelerator will surely throw you back in your seat. In fact, its 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds matches that of the quickest Porsche 911 ever made, the Turbo S. The difference between this Taycan Turbo S and that 911 Turbo S, of course, is that the only reason youÂ’ll ever need to stop off at a gas station is to fill up on snacks. That and the fact the Taycan doesn't actually have a turbo anywhere in the car. We wouldnÂ’t be reaching for a bag of FlaminÂ’ Hot Cheetos, though, because this incredibly comfortable leather interior is immaculate, and weÂ’d hope to keep it that way. Enter here for a chance to win this prize worth $220,000. Win a Himalaya Land Rover Defender 110 EV and $20,000 - Enter Here The Land Rover Defender is an icon: an intense, luxurious off-roader that turns heads and can crawl up nearly anything. The problem? For the past 20+ years it hasn't been available in the United States and it's never been what youÂ’d call environmentally friendly. But this Defender is different. ItÂ’s vintage, restored by Himalaya and itÂ’s all-electric. At 275 horsepower, you wonÂ’t be thrown back in your seat, but the 406 lb-ft of torque helps make this an incredibly capable rock crawler.
