1986 Landrover 90 Defender - Hard Top Turbo Diesel Engine on 2040-cars
Argyle, Texas, United States
|
This is a 1986 vehicle but is listed as a 1980 because Ebay will not recognize the VIN#. The condition of this Defender is good for the year, it is mostly original but has aftermarket rims. It does have two small dings, which if you are thinking of repainting it could be easily beaten out, otherwise I would not touch them. I would add new wheels from a Discovery, you can find them on Craigslist easily enough, I saw rims only for $75 or rims and tires for $300.
I am from the UK where these vehicles are used for every utility and the military, and I have driven these vehicles all my life. This one is a civilian type and is a strong example, the motor is a powerful 300 Turbo Diesel starts first crank no engine smoke on start up or while running, pulls really well. There is no drift in the steering either. The door hinges are all solid, I have tried to capture most of the usual rust points in the pictures. The drivers door has some rust on the bottom trailing edge, which can be repaired or easily replaced if you are repainting it. The cab is straight, its been a working truck so it could be a little cleaner, but there are no stains or odors, seats are not ripped. In the back there are bench seats and Land Rover installed rubber mats, there is a dog guard which I would keep but can be easily taken out. Remember these trucks can be easily reconfigured to be soft tops, and they can go anywhere you want to go, beach, mountains anywhere. This is not a business for me, I just love the vehicles, and I have sold two or three recently here on ebay. The vehicle is at our home in North Dallas, I can help by arranging shipment if needed (at buyers cost), I can pick you up in DFW and get you on your way if you prefer to drive it home. I am pretty confident it would be OK to drive, but you should be the judge of that, there are no leaks or apparent mechanical problems but it is an older vehicle. I had a friend in the UK drive it from Nottingham to Southampton in heavy traffic and there were no problems. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable bidding, I will do my best to answer all as honestly as I can Thanks |

Jaguar Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK
Sun, Aug 16 2020Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let'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.
This Ford F-150 might have a Land Rover turbodiesel V6
Thu, Dec 17 2015Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."
