Lhd -1985 Land Rover 90 (defender) on 2040-cars
Encinitas, California, United States
|
The actual VIN on this car is SALLDHMF8JA916659. Because this car was imported to the US, its VIN is not recognized by Ebay. The Land Rover 90/110 Defender is the worlds most iconic and
well-respected off road passenger vehicles. It has been in use – in one form or
another – since the late 1940’s and has changed very little over that time. It
is timeless and classless: rich and poor, young and old, all love the classic
Defender look and feel. They are said to be the world most sustainable vehicle
having been on the road for so long with astonishing parts interchangeability throughout
the generations. Most examples of early Defenders that have been imported to
the US are Right Hand Drive which can become very inconvenient on US roads and
are in rough condition from tough lives in Europe and other wet/salted environments.
Despite being RHD worn-down rust-buckets, sellers are still asking ridiculously
high prices. Ours is LHD, very clean, and priced reasonably. We believe it shouldn’t
cost over $50k to own a stock unrestored diesel Land Rover. This 1985 Land Rover 90 (Defender) is in amazing condition
and took a great deal of effort to find and import properly. It was purchased
by the owner of our dealership as a personal vehicle. It was carefully selected
by our broker in Europe and was thoughtfully inspected prior to purchasing and
inspection. It was loaded in its own private 20ft container and shipped to Long
Beach. It passed US Customs inspections with flying colors and all necessary
duty/fees were paid for. It has since been cleaned-up and enjoyed on the
weekends for trips down to the beach. Our 1985 Defender is without the typical cancer and rust you
see on these cars. It – of course – has a little rust, but far from what most
have. The frame, cross members, outriggers, etc. are all rust-free. The body
has no large holes, punctures, cancer bubbling, or other nastiness. There are remnants
of some rust repair between the floor boards and the kick panels, but it has
been remedied and shouldn’t be a concern. The bulkhead is clean as is the heater-box,
seat-box, rear-tub, etc. The seats have been recently reupholstered in black vinyl
and include the OE center third front seat. The rear seats are new (black
vinyl) as is the Land Rover rubber rear cargo mat. The floors in the front are
protected by factory Land Rover floor mats/boots as is the center hump and
shifter/transfer case. It comes with newer euro-style Defender rims and tires with approximately
90% tread left (including an unused 5th spare). The front axle has
the original disc-brakes and the rear has been upgraded from drums to discs. The
spare is mounted on the rear safari-door, it is set up for another tire on the hood,
and there is a fire extinguisher mounted behind the rear bulk head. It also
comes with an updated KBX Grill and headlight bezels. On the roof, the previous
owner mounted a very sturdy steel expedition rack system with a rotating and
folding rear ladder. The rear bumper has an integrated tow ball, trailer
brakes, and flip-down factory step. The truck is powered by a 2.5 liter Turbo Diesel motor with
right over 117k miles on it. It runs great, starts right up – even on cold days
– and only blows a little smoke on cold-start. It gets great mileage and should
be able to get even better mileage with a little more tuning. The 5-speed
shifts just fine with no noticeable clutch problems/slipping. The center
differential has both high and low range as well as the ability to lock. It
functions well with no problems observed. This Land Rover 90 comes with everything that came with it from
Europe (fun little things like a Dutch license plate frame) as well as all of
the import documentation and sales information from Europe. Though it is not
currently titled in CA, title/registration will be issued with the sale of the car. There are simply too many details to mention everything in
one posting. If you are interested in this vehicle, we urge you to call and ask
us as many questions as you want. We know these cars inside and out and are
happy to field and level of questions. We are able to arrange sales and shipping worldwide and can provide shipping quotes as needed. All shipping/transport will be paid for by the buyer. If you are local or eager to make the trek to view this Land
Rover in person, please contact us to schedule a viewing. We are available by
appointment only. Please contact TerraFirma Motors, LLC directly at

Jaguar Land Rover CEO: Wrong Brexit deal will cost thousands of UK jobs
Tue, Sep 11 2018BIRMINGHAM, England — The wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of jobs, the boss of Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover warned on Tuesday, saying he had no idea whether his plants would be able to operate after Britain leaves the European Union next year. Ralf Speth also said that the company would not be able to build cars if customs checks meant that the motorway to and from the southern English port of Dover, which is used to transport components, becomes a "car park" due to snarl-ups of people no longer able to move freely among EU countries. Speth made the warning at a conference in Birmingham, central England, speaking shortly before Prime Minister Theresa May, who is battling to have her so-called Chequers Brexit plan accepted by many in her Conservative Party as well as the EU ahead of Britain's departure from the bloc on March 29. "A thousand (jobs were) lost as a result of diesel policy, and those numbers will be counted in the tens of thousands if we do not get the right Brexit deal," warned Speth, referring to redundancies made earlier this year at the firm. "Currently I do not even know if any of our manufacturing facilities in the UK will be able to function on the 30th," he said. The boss of JLR, which built nearly a third of Britain's cars last year, also said long-standing issues around low productivity in Britain could be compounded by a Brexit agreement which made the country less competitive. "It is thousands of pounds cheaper to produce vehicles for instance in Eastern Europe than in Solihull, and what decisions will I be forced to make if Brexit means not merely that costs go up but that we cannot physically build cars on time and on budget in the UK?" he said.Reporting by Costas Pitas

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units
Tue, Dec 20 2016It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.
