VERY LOW RESERVE! 1986 Land Rover 90 (Defender) Diesel. Imported from the UK, so it is right-hand drive. 5-speed manual transmission with nice tight power steering. Runs and drives quite well for its age. This is an unrestored original, but has obviously been well cared for. Interior is in very nice shape with seats that appear to be new (appear to be factory spec seats). All glass good, rubber floor liner in nice shape. Dash in fine shape and all gauges and controls appear to work as they should. 2.5 liter diesel engine runs well and does not appear to smoke, except a bit at start-up. Shifts through all the gears quite well and clutch seems to have plenty of life left, engages smoothly. Steering is plenty tight and suspension seems good as well. Tracks straight down the road and does not seem prone to rattles or vibrations. All in all, a very nice driving vehicle, albeit a bit slow on the freeway, though it will hold 65 just fine. Body in good condition for the age. Some minor corrosion along the bottom of the doors and at the back corner - no spots seem to be larger than about a nickel and can be seen on the pictures. There don't appear to be any holes or corrosion that has gone past the very surface. For the age, the exterior is in very nice shape. Windshield and cowl area appear solid. Underneath the truck, the frame is solid, though like most rovers of this vintage, it has been patched at some point, as they tend to rot in places. I noted one welded patch on each side near the rear suspension mount. Seemed to be very professional work, patch was correctly formed and welds were strong and clean (see picture). Most of the frame paint had worn off the back half of the vehicle, so I had the back half cleaned, coated in frame paint, and covered in rubberized coating as shown in the pictures. The underbody of the tub seems to be in nice shape with good, solid floors and inner wheel wells. The two rearmost floor crossmembers appear to have been patched at one point, but seem solid enough now. I tried to show all of the weak spots that I could find in the pictures, so please look carefully. This Rover has been fully imported and is titled and insured in my name in Minnesota. Will transfer just like any other vehicle. I have owed it since September, and it has spent most of the tie here in my heated shop. I own a small car dealership, and imported myself. Avoid the hassle and potential disaster of importing your own over. These are getting more and more difficult to bring over, as people have tried to sneak later model defenders over. I'm happy to answer any questions, and will assist with shipping in any way that I can. I am a licensed dealer, so I can usually get a pretty decent rate on shipping across the US.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers
Fri, Jun 5 2015California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Editors’ Picks October 2022 | Electric trucks and some excellent SUVs
Wed, Nov 2 2022This month sees a bevy of totally new or totally redesigned cars gain Editors’ Pick status. Important EVs like the F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV quickly jump into the list, and they do so with authority, as all our editors love these trucks. The Range Rover is always a superb experience, and this generation proves to be no different. Plus, the new generation of Kia Sportage continues to surprise and impress. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in October that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Hummer EV The Four-Wheel-Steer system lets the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup m View 17 Photos Quick take: The Hummer amazes as an electric supertruck with its wild acceleration, incredible off-road capability, luxuriousness and epic utility. It's far from a "green" eco-friendly vehicle, but that's not the point of this technological powerhouse. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX Pros: Stupid quick, tons of tech, off-road capability in spades Cons: Not efficient, annoying in tight spaces, price From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I don't think I've driven a more ridiculous vehicle this year, but that's sort of the point with the Hummer. There's a great argument against this sort of EV in that it doesn't live up to being an efficient and planet-friendly vehicle, but hey, that's not the point. The Hummer EV is a supertruck and wild technological masterpiece for off-roading in the same way that a mid-engine supercar is to track performance. It's not meant to be the EV everybody drives to work and back (mostly because few can afford it), but it serves as a line in the sand of what can be done with electric off-road trucks. This pickup rules, and if you can afford one, you're going to love it." Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder — "This Hummer revival is a showcase of technology and capability on the part of GM, making it an absolute blast to drive and a joy to use.
Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
