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

Jaguar Land Rover partners with Nvidia for vehicle electronics and software
Wed, Feb 16 2022DETROIT — Luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover and Silicon Valley artificial intelligence company Nvidia said Wednesday they will collaborate to develop the computer brains and nervous systems for Jaguars and Land Rovers launching in 2025 and beyond. The companies did not disclose financial terms of their multiyear agreement. The collaboration is a high-profile win for Nvidia Corp's effort to expand its reach in the auto industry, building on its base in gaming, artificial intelligence and high-powered chips and software used in servers. For Jaguar Land Rover Automotive, the partnership with Nvidia gives it a well-funded ally as it tries to catch up with Tesla and other luxury vehicle rivals in a digital technology arms race. "We can now accelerate our in-vehicle software," Francois Dossa, JLR's executive director for strategy, said during a conference call. Working with Nvidia engineers, Jaguar Land Rover plans to develop vehicles that can drive themselves under certain conditions, park autonomously and provide more information and software-powered features to drivers, the companies said. The new Jaguars will be upgradable — as Tesla vehicles are today. The automaker said it will use Nvidia technology to power simulations used to train autonomous vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover has a previous deal with Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit to deploy autonomous driving technology. Dossa said the Waymo collaboration was limited to the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV. The Nvidia alliance covers all Jaguar and Land Rover models to be launched from 2025. Nvidia technology will act as the brains and the nervous system of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles starting in 2025, said Nvidia's vice president of automotive, Danny Shapiro. Nvidia last month announced deals with several Chinese electric vehicle brands. The company has said it has $8 billion in automotive business booked over the next six years. Shapiro said the company will update the figure during an investor day scheduled for March 22. Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors Ltd has been struggling with rising costs and semiconductor shortages. Jaguar Land Rover reported a narrow pretax profit for the quarter ended Dec. 31, but Tata Motors reported a larger quarterly loss than expected.

Jaguar Land Rover mulling factory in Georgia?
Sat, Feb 7 2015London's Sunday Times reported last October that Jaguar-Land Rover was sniffing around The South looking for a potential manufacturing site, and was "talking to several southern states." We imagine Georgia was one of them; The Peach State has Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, it claims Porsche HQ as a resident, and soon the Mercedes-Benz regional office, too. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said that Governor Nathan Deal recently took the initiative to fly to the UK to "make prospect calls" with JLR executives about a deal. We don't have any details about the calls, but we'll guess that they involved Deal making a financial case for GA over other states while sipping a cup of tea. It's said that the English luxury maker wants to build a factory here with a 200,000-unit capacity, to take advantage of the same financial efficiencies that have planted other automakers in the US and Mexico; it opened a facility in China last year to build the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XE, and is casting eyes over Brazilian and Saudi Arabian soil for other facilities. No timetable has been given for a decision.

Cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers deliberately run aground [w/video]
Mon, Jan 5 2015A cargo ship carrying a load of new cars out of Southampton has run aground in the English Channel in between England and the Isle of Wight. The vessel apparently suffered some sort of failure just 45 minutes after leaving port that caused it to list heavily to the starboard side before the crew deliberately beached it on Bramble Bank to prevent the ship from capsizing altogether. The vessel, called the Hoegh Osaka, is a 590-foot car carrier weighing some 57,000 tons and registered in Singapore. Although several automakers (including Honda and Bentley) were reportedly looking into whether they had cars on board, the vessel is said to have been filled to approximately one-third its capacity, with 1,400 vehicles on board – including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, 65 Mini models and one Rolls-Royce Wraith. 70 to 80 pieces of construction equipment were also said to be on board. The Hoegh Osaka was en route from the southern British port of Southampton to Bremerhaven, Germany. Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported. The crew was mostly airlifted by helicopter off of the beached ship, with two crew members evacuated by lifeboat. One crew member reportedly jumped over 25 feet off the ship into the water before being immediately retrieved by rescue workers. According to the Daily Mail, two crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. It may take several days, if not longer, to extract the vessel from the sand bank and ascertain the damage to the ship and its cargo. An early attempt to free the ship with tugboats failed, meaning that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency may have to wait until more favorable high tides to try again before towing the ship back into the port. Bramble Bank, where the vessel was run aground, is a well-known obstacle to maritime navigators. The Queen Elizabeth 2 ran aground there in November 2008 with 1,700 passengers on board, but was quickly freed by four tugboats and was able to continue on its way. Two local yacht clubs also play a cricket match there every year at low tide. The vessel's operator, Hoegh Autoliners, praised the skill and quick thinking of the crew in acting to prevent the ship's capsizing by running her aground on the soft, sandy shoal.
