Hi guys…

I wanted to write you a brief note to compliment you on the quality of the LRD110 I purchased from you off EBay.  I have now used the truck for 6 months with trouble-free service.  I have had a few repairs done by two separate LRD specialists (one near each of my houses) both of whom have heavily praised the truck’s condition given its age.  I have purchased two vehicles off of EBay – and I’m sure you guys know that it can be risky.  Thanks for being so diligent in finding this clean original specimen!  The experience has been ”just what I wanted”.

Best regards,
j.d.

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 9 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:

  • Shocks and suspension rear
  • Fuel tank
  • Lighting all round
  • Brakes and brake pipes
  • Rear exhaust with silencer
  • Seatbelts

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.

Trying to be as honest as possible, I need to mention that the bottoms of the doors have some rust, which isn’t bad but I have to mention it. 
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 vehicle passed all DOT and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a lot of Defenders for sale on ebay, this Defender is already in the USA, New Jersey, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled.

Our Story

We started our Land Rover journey with a dream, driving a classic Defender from cape to cape. That means from the North-cape in Norway to Cape town, South Africa. Therefore we refurbished a 1986 3 door Land Rover Defender 110, and modified her to a camper van. After that, she was mechanically and optically sound to make this incredible journey. By the time our project finished, we were addicted… So we started our own business to buy, refurbish and sell classic Defenders.

This is a big adventure which makes lots of fun and gives even more happiness! Especially our happy and enthusiastic customers who still give us updates on their Land Rover experience. This makes us even more motivated to do our utmost best to deliver a high quality end product.

We don’t do every Defender that crosses our path.  We only do the ones we love.  As a Defender is not just another car, used to travel from A to B. Every Defender has its own character and emotional experience. And when you work with passion on something that you love, the only outcome possible is positive.

After 30 very successful projects we have harvested a huge amount of knowledge. Together with a team of very enthusiastic and experienced land rover mechanics we are able to deliver a beautiful and high quality Defender.

We can’t guarantee that you will have a trouble free experience with these classic beauties given their age, that would be unreal, but we can guarantee that we checked, repaired/renewed and checked again all parts!

The only question that has left... 

Are you Landventurous enough to drive your Dreamfender?

UK car output falls 14% in March, may get worse with no-deal Brexit

Tue, Apr 30 2019

LONDON — British car output fell for the 10th month in a row in March, hit by a slowdown in key foreign markets, and the sector stands to suffer a lot more if the country leaves the European Union without a deal, an industry body said on Tuesday. Output tumbled by an annual 14.4 percent to 126,195 cars in March, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said. Exports, which account for nearly four out of every five cars made in Britain, were down by 13.4 percent. The SMMT said analysis it had commissioned predicted output would fall this year to 1.36 million units from 1.52 million in 2018, assuming London can secure a transition deal with the EU. If Britain has to rely instead on World Trade Organization rules for its trade with the bloc, which include import tariffs, output is forecast to fall by around 30 percent to 1.07 million units in 2021, returning to mid-1980s levels, the SMMT said. The forecasts were produced for SMMT by AutoAnalysis, a consultancy. Prime Minister Theresa May has secured a delay to the Brexit deadline until Oct. 31, giving her more time to try to break an impasse in parliament over the terms of Britain's departure from the EU. Foreign minister Jeremy Hunt traveled to Japan earlier this month to try to persuade the Japanese government and Toyota, which has a big presence in Britain, that London was determined to avoid a no-deal Brexit. "Just a few years ago, industry was on track to produce 2 million cars by 2020 — a target now impossible with Britain's reputation as stable and attractive business environment undermined," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said. "All parties must find a compromise urgently so we can set about repairing the damage and diverting energy and investment to the technological challenges that will define the future of the global industry."

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs

Thu, Feb 1 2018

LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary

Sun, May 10 2020

After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.   Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
