Defender D-90's Custom Refurbished to order!!!

The Build & Spec:

Here we have for sale a 1986 Defender 90 Station Wagon factory LHD powered by the 2.5 Gasoline engine. This Defender is based in our UK showroom and available for immediate shipment.

The very first stage of this Defender 90 build involved us working tirelessly through the working parts and structure of the vehicle looking for faults and worn components; replacing and refurbishing as we go. Anything we found to be faulty - we either fixed or replaced - simple!. We ensure that all of our vehicle and its parts are either new or as good as new (including all steering, braking and suspension components). The engines have a full major service including a timing belt change.  This vehicle is then extensively road-tested. All of our 90's come to you fully warrantied against mechanical, hydraulic and electrical breakdown or failure.  Your enjoyment and safety are guaranteed.  Our after sales service is second to none and we are here to support you wherever you are in the world.

Following our extensive mechanical preparation we then treat the corrosion free chassis to a full and intensive coating of WaxOyl to protect it from any future corrosion.

With this high level of structural, mechanical and electrical satisfaction achieved the vehicle is then handed over to our paint team to prepare, paint and polish inside and out to its as new finish in a colour chosen by yourself.

The work that goes into our vehicles is extraordinary. It really is not your typical re-spray. This is a full unique customisation to the highest possible standards. Book yourself a flight- come on over and see for yourselves. It is eye-catching - breathtaking and above all its authentic. All three doors are corrosion free. Our paint process takes approximately two weeks and this included for the mirror finish that the pictures - as good as they are - do not show!! Upon leaving the body shop the vehicle has a brand new windscreen and rubber seal fitted and at the same time new door rubbers, window seals, alpine light seals and rear load area windows are all installed.

The interior floor surfaces are then newly carpeted in a classic black finish, the headlining is brand new and in grey cloth, the seating is hand made to order and finished in fine black half leather with a fine white stitch. All of the seat belts are replaced for new. We also add a Sony CD stereo with up-rated audio speakers equipped to take an Ipod/Iphone.

The D-90 model can carry six passengers, of all ages, in various combinations with room left over on the roof or in the rear load area for luggage. What better a way to transport yourselves around than in this awesome Land Rovers UK built machine. There is no component overlooked, untested or disregarded. At LRUK we take our American specified Defenders to an incomparable level.

You will find that the Defender cruises along very well on its 16” Challenger Wheels fitted with market leading General Grabber tyres. We also equip our Defenders with a swing away spare wheel carrier to remove the strain upon the lower section of the back door and to make rear door opening that bit easier.

All lighting is replaced with new and the vehicle is then subject to an independent UK MOT (an annual test in the UK in which vehicles are tested on automobile safety and roadworthiness). If you wish for additional lighting to be added please look through our available extras and choose the best package to suit your needs.

We shall handle all export documentation within the UK.  We can assist with your importation and customs clearance, Stateside, by providing you with details of our agents in the USA.

We compare 2021 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport specifications to their ritzy Land Rover competiton

Tue, Jul 14 2020

The 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport are the spearheads for Ford's new 4x4 sub-brand, with the former taking the fight directly to the Jeep Wrangler and the latter providing Ford with a more rugged alternative to the Escape. We've already looked at how the new Bronco and Bronco Sport compare to their mainstream competition, but we'd like to see how the Bronco stacks up to another hotly anticipated returning nameplate: the Land Rover Defender.  Not to leave its little sibling in the cold, I decided to browse Land Rover's lineup and see what might be a suitable counterpoint to the Bronco Sport. For better or worse, I found an almost-perfect fit in the Range Rover Evoque. So, how do these new American 4x4s compare to the Old Country's more-expensive alternatives? Let's dig in, starting with the big boys.  As you might expect from the Bronco's robust credentials, it holds its own here against the more-expensive Brit. The Defender's higher price point brings along a good bit of power advantage with both engines, but that's to be expected. The Defender also has that trick adjustable-height suspension that the Bronco lacks, giving it an edge in practicality, and it can also tow quite a bit more.  On the flip side, there are quite a few advantages to going with the Ford, including a greater number of choices in terms of powertrain. The available manual transmission on four-cylinder Broncos is a nice bonus, for instance, as is the option of getting either the base 2.3-liter or the optional 2.7-liter engine with either wheelbase. The Defender is a bit more restrictive in this regard offering only the inline-six on the short-wheelbase model. As an added bonus, the Bronco is a convertible. That may not necessarily be a "plus" for all shoppers, but it's certainly an added bit of versatility (and potential appeal) the Defender lacks. And of course, the Bronco can be had for as little as $30,000, whereas the Land Rover starts at $50,000. Now, on to the less-rugged siblings. The specs here are actually a little tighter in most respects, but the powertrain story is almost identical. The Evoque checks in where the Bronco Sport tops out, and the Range Rover gets an optional high-output variant of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four.

Jaguar Land Rover gives Lyft $25M and a fleet of cars

Mon, Jun 12 2017

Lyft recently raised $600 million in a massive funding round, and now we know that $25 million of that came from Jaguar Land Rover, via its mobility services subsidiary InMotion. The car maker's investment in Lyft goes beyond just funds, however; it's providing Lyft drivers with a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles as part of the tie-up, and it's also going to work with the ride-hailing tech company on autonomous vehicle testing. This is yet another high-profile partner for Lyft after a spate of recent new collaborators, including Waymo and, just last week, Nutonomy. Now, Jaguar Land Rover is also joining the company's Open Platform for autonomous cars: The collaboration with InMotion will see the Jaguar Land Rover-owned company "develop and test its mobility services, including autonomous vehicles" using Lyft's platform. Lyft's ability to rapidly bring on a lot of partners in the car maker space, specifically around autonomy, may have a lot to do with rival Uber's ongoing problems, which now also include mounting calls for CEO Travis Kalanick to step back, at least temporarily, from his leadership role. Lyft has also been pretty clear about seeking to partner on autonomy, rather than pursue its own tech, which is likewise different from Uber's current approach. Uber, too, has brought automakers to the table around self-driving services and making use of its ride hailing platform for mobility service offerings. Both Uber and Lyft seem interested in being the layer that connects riders and these future services, and for automakers, it means leaving a complex and challenging part of the picture to partners with experience and expertise, rather than having to spin up that part of the tech business themselves. The fleet provision in the deal is also interesting, and suggests the partnership between the two could involve more strategic cooperative service offerings ahead of the advent of commercial self-driving tech. Lyft gaining more ground among automakers beyond longtime partner GM also explains why it was reported that the ride hailing company turned down overtures regarding a potential acquisition by the Detroit-based automaker.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunch.Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]

Mon, Dec 15 2014

Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.
