Aledo, Texas, United States

Up for auction is a very nice 1986 RARE ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE Diesel Land Drover Defender 90.  This particular expedition ready example is in very nice condition without any of the rust problems commonly found on the Land Rover Defenders. The bulkhead, floors and frame are all in excellent condition. The economical 2.5 N/A Diesel engine starts great and with the 5spd manual transmission, drives very nicely. The clutch has just been replaced within the last 1000 miles by the local Land Rover shop in Fort Worth Texas. The interior has been up fitted with the excellent Exmoor trimmed seats, head liner and rear overhead storage. In the back area, custom fitted removable aluminum lockable storage bins have been added to securely store any valuable items you may have with you.

On the exterior, no expense was spared in preparing this vehicle for expedition readiness.  Quality stainless steel Land Armour roof rack, ladder and front bumper have been added. Security cages have been fitted around the rear windows, a high quality Mantec rear tire carrier is mounted which also holds a high lift jack.  Solid steel rocker protectors are found on both sides as well as a snorkel for high water crossings or dusty dessert air..  Lightweight aluminum wheels have been fitted with excellent BFG all terrain tires that have approximately 90% tread remaining.  Included in the sale is a brand new, never installed canvas soft top and all necessary hardware to mount it.                                                                                               


This little Land Rover is an absolute pleasure to drive. The suspension is solid yet supple and everything works as it should. Being an old land rover, it does drip a minor amount of oil from time to time. It is over 25 years old and may have some minor imperfections and is thus being sold as is. I encourage any who are seriously interested to come and have a look in person.

Note - There is excellent air circulation via the vents and windows, however it does not have air conditioning.  The vehicle steers easily, however it does not have power steering.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
