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. |

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Recharge Wrap-up: Jaguar Land Rover talks EVs, Batteries should be modular
Wed, Sep 3 2014A new study out of Germany suggests adopting a modular approach to battery offerings in plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles. Automakers could offer the same car with different battery sizes (and different costs, accordingly) to drivers depending on their driving ranges. This would optimize the total cost of ownership for various drivers better than the current approach. Developing a modular battery design and offering appropriate batteries for different customers "is the key for electric powertrains to meet customer expectations and become cost competitive against conventional technologies," according to the report from the Institute of Vehicle Concepts, German Aerospace Center. Learn more at Green Car Congress. Jaguar and Land Rover are looking to offer more electric driving from their vehicles. Wolfgang Ziebart, head of product development for Jaguar Land Rover, said in an interview that its hybrid system is being tweaked for more electric power and "downsized" combustion. He also said the likely target market for EVs would be second and third vehicles, rather than primary vehicles for urban driving. Within that market, Europeans look for something smaller, while American drivers lean toward larger luxury vehicles for their second car. Ziebart uses the Tesla Model S as an example of American tastes, and compares its size to that of the Jaguar XJ. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Thailand will likely approve a Volkswagen factory as early as next week. A German newspaper suggests that Thailand's Board of Investment is set to greenlight the plant, which is planned for a site near the Port of Bangkok. Thailand is a relatively large and growing auto manufacturing country, which seeks to be a major producer of eco-friendly vehicles. The country's "Eco2" program would provide incentives to Volkswagen if it builds clean cars and meets certain production targets. Read more at Reuters. Formula E has chosen Sky Deutschland for broadcasting rights in the German market. The deal includes television rights, as well as online broadcasting. Sky Deutschland has 3.8 million subscribers in Germany and Austria. Showing the races on Germany's largest pay television provider should help generate interest for the series, particularly the Berlin ePrix - the inaugural season's penultimate race - scheduled for May 30, 2015.
