Up for sale is is a 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 in excellent condition. The vehicle lived most of its life on a factory lot in England and was used for moving goods around. As a result, it was not exposed to salted roads and has thus stayed in fantastic shape.

The VIN has an english format. VIN: SALLDVA7AA250487 - B

The vehicle was imported in 2013 from a Land Rover dealer in the UK that had purchased this vehicle from the factory owner. Before importing to the US, the vehicle was expertly repainted by the paint shop of this Land Rover dealer and was repainted in its original color, Stratos Blue. At that point in time, the car received a series of new parts at the request of the current owner.

-New doors (including rear doors) were installed.

-New locking mechanisms

-New suspension coils

-new front lights

-new camel trophy bar guard for front fascia

-new window tracks

-new window regulators

In addition to these parts, the car also had new old stock seats that were installed a year or so before the car was imported.

The vehicle has 134,900 original miles and a clear title as well.

In terms of cleanliness of the vehicle, the car looks fantastic. The paint looks excellent, but do note that there are a couple of light scratches to the hood (which can likely be buffed out). The interior is in great shape and dash is to be expected for a defender 90.

The front fascia and bumpers were also repainted and give the car a powerful stance. The wheels also have fresh paint.

All lights, buttons, and switches function properly, aside from the clock, which can be ordered easily, but is currently missing. The dash near the cowl also has a crack in it as well.

The tires are in great shape as well and only have a couple thousand miles on them.

If you do have any questions about the vehicle, please do let me know. I will try to answer you as quickly and thoroughly as possible. This vehicle is a rare and exceptional example of Chrysler history, with few even similarly comparable examples still around.

Lots of Land Rovers, Jaguars and Minis actually survived that near-capsized ship

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Despite a severe list to starboard, many of the 1,400 cars and SUVs aboard the 51,000-ton Hoegh Osaka are currently being recovered in salvageable condition, with video showing some of the vehicles from British brands Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini, being driven ashore under their own power. The car-carrying vessel developed a severe list on January 3 and was intentionally run aground on a sandbar between England and the Isle of Wight. It has since limped its way back to port in Southampton, where damage assessments are being conducted on both the ship and its $53-million in cargo. According to the company that owns the car carrier, the ship itself only suffered minor damage in the incident, while Car and Driver is reporting that many of the damaged vehicles will almost certainly be scrapped. Still, the fact that there are vehicles, some of which appear undamaged (look at that Defender at 0:50!), being removed from the Hoegh Osaka needs to count as a net win.

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar 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.

Jaguar Land Rover said to favor Europe rather than US for new plant

Sat, Feb 21 2015

With its plants running at full tilt, Jaguar Land Rover is in desperate need of additional manufacturing capacity. That's led to reports that the Indian-owned British company was looking to join European, Japanese and Korean automakers in America's southern states, all while it opened new plants in the UK and China. The company even announced it would be building the Land Rover Discovery Sport in Brazil. Now, though, reports are suggesting that JLR is looking at Europe for a new facility, rather than the US, with Automotive News claiming the company's execs are eyeing the lower costs afforded by Austria and Turkey. The report cites the Birmingham Post (UK), the broadsheet that's closest to the company's headquarters. According to the original report, labor costs and wage disputes with unions are ruling out another factory in the UK, while those same disputes with labor outfits may also be souring the automaker on a US facility. "At this stage Europe seems more likely than America. The union pay dispute had a big effect," an unnamed source told the Post. "There is a feeling of alienation that has been left over from the way the pay talks were handled." JLR, meanwhile, offered a solid no comment to the Post, with a spokesperson saying, "No decision has been taken on future manufacturing locations. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our manufacturing footprint in the future." Related Video:
