FACTORY ORIGINAL
1983 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 COUNTY STATIONWAGON 3.5 V8 For sale: a stunningly beautiful classic original
Defender 110 named The Brown Betty!
The Story Build in
October 1983, this is one of the first 110’s ever made! Among land Rover connoisseurs
this is regarded as a real collector’s item. The combination of a 10 seats
“County” most luxury finished with a 3.5 V8 engine and a 4 speed gearbox with
Fairey overdrive is very hard to find. Even harder to find are the ones that
are totally original like this one and so well maintained with only 91.000
miles on the clock!
The service history that comes with the Defender confirms that the mileage is correct. All the receipts of recent services are also available. They show what has been done to it and how well it has been maintained by Land Rover specialists. During the biggest part of her life she was owned by an English landlord who took very good care of her. People who are familiar with classic Defenders will be astonished by this one. Although it has driven some miles on the beautiful British roads, it will have many many more in it. Under normal usage and proper maintenance, those V8 blocks can do over 300.000 miles because they aren’t build for racing but for endurance. If you prefer diesel, like the Land Rover 300 TDI, this Defender is a perfect basis to convert, now or in the future. But please enjoy this V8 first. It isn’t as quick as a Ferrari but it is such a nice cruiser!
The Engine The V8 petrol
engine has a twin carb system. It starts within a second and runs as smooth as
silk. It never misses a beat and has his characteristic V8 roar. For a cold
start there is a choke available behind the steering wheel. The engine is
really easy to maintain because the engine bay is very big and parts are widely
available and come cheap. The engine is very well serviced and maintenance has
just been done.
The Transmission The gearbox is the original 4 speed LT95 with a Fairey overdrive. This is a very strong and reliable gearbox. It is known for its liability, robustness and good ratio’s. One of the best Land Rover ever build. It has 4 “normal” speeds and the extra overdrive. The overdrive has his own stick and is regarded as the 5th gear. You could choose to leave it engaged the whole time but it’s better to use it as an economical extra gear. Both
gearbox and overdrive work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever.
Selecting gears goes smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4
wheel drive. High/low gear and differential lock are present and work
perfectly. The gear knob is below and next to the gearbox shift stick.
The Body The
aluminum body is in very good condition. Especially if you consider that it has
still it’s original paint! Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t
new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 30 year old vehicle, it is very
very beautiful! The firewall and foot wells are totally clean and rust free. The
doors are totally straight, close and open perfectly. There is some rust at the
bottoms, which isn’t visible from the outside and isn’t bad. Something that is
very typical for a Defender. Now water that enters the inside of the doors
through the windows can easily flow out. The windows work as they should. The locks all
work and on the same key. The
Defender has a height adjustable tow bar with electrics. Also a robust winch
bumper with A-bar is mounted with big Wipac lights. They can be switched on and
off by a switch in the dash.
The Chassis The complete
chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this
car. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents
rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years. Over that layer, there
is black over coating. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN
is: SALLDHMV1AA198497. Encoded this means:
The Interior The
inside of the vehicle is sound proofed and has the original carpets or rubber
mats. The headlining is in perfect condition with almost no spots or other
marks of age, which is very exceptional. The seats are brown/beige,
leather/cloth and in very good condition. There are 3 seats on the front row, 3
on the middle row and 2 benches in the rear that will fit 4 adults or 6
children. Seatbelts are mounted.
The Rest Recently
replaced:
The
Defender has got 5 Michelin all terrain tires which are almost like new. Even the spare wheel, which is mounted on a
swing away carrier to take the load of the back door, is in very good condition
Service It has
just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer
box and so one have either been refreshed or filled up. It has also got 8 new
spark plugs. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition. I
have owned many Defenders and driven even more of them, but I never felt one
that is driving and steering so well. No play at all in the steering wheel,
which is rather strange for a classic Defender. Because
it’s a 1983 vehicle, it isn’t new and has his traces of age. But being totally
original it is in an outstanding condition.
Customs, title and delivery The Defender has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included. Delivery anywhere in the US or Canada is possible. For information on delivery call Stryder on +1 4062702028

Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant
Mon, Apr 27 2015Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.
Land Rover to build Discovery Sport at new Brazilian factory
Fri, Oct 31 2014Looking forward to getting your mitts on a new Land Rover Discovery Sport? Well you should, because it promises to be a markedly better product than the Freelander/LR2 it replaces. Just don't assume it will necessarily be built in the UK, as just about every Land Rover has in the company's 66-year history. The new Discovery Sport (pictured above in Sao Paulo) will, of course, be built in the UK, at the Halewood plant where the Evoque is made and which has in the past handled the Freelander, the Jaguar X-Type and a variety of Fords. But it will also be assembled for local consumption at JLR's new factory in Changsu, China. And, according to the press release down below, it will also be made for the Latin American market at the new factory being built in Brazil. The new plant is being built in Itatiaia on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro and will come online in 2016. Once it gets up to speed by the end of 2020, it will have the capacity to build 24,000 vehicles each year, ratcheting its workforce up from 400 when it opens to nearly 1,000 when all's said and done. The Discovery Sport will be one of the products made there for the local market, but it surely won't be the only one. As in China, we expect the Evoque will be built there as well, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the new Jaguar XE join it in the near future, either. Don't expect the Brazilian-made vehicles to be sold in the US, though: those will likely still be imported from the UK... at least, that is, until the facility said to be under consideration for the southern United States opens its doors. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS ITS ALL-NEW DISCOVERY SPORT FOR BRAZIL FACILITY - Jaguar Land Rover confirms Discovery Sport as one of the models to be produced at its new local manufacturing facility in Brazil - R$750m investment in the new facility in Itatiaia in the State of Rio de Janeiro - Annual production capacity of 24,000 units for the Brazilian market only – from 2016 Sao Paulo, Brazil – Jaguar Land Rover confirmed today, at the Sao Paulo International Motor Show, that its breakthrough Land Rover Discovery Sport will be one of the first models to be built at its new R$750m (GBP240m) local manufacturing facility in Itatiaia, Brazil. The new factory, which will see a total investment of R$750m (GBP240m) by the end of 2020, will supplement UK production and have the capacity to build 24,000 vehicles annually for the Brazilian market.
