Rare Genuine Factory County Station Wagon 7 Seater

Hi and thanks for looking at our listing for this Landrover Defender 90. Unlike many sellers this Landrover is in the USA and comes with all relevant EPA and DOT clearance all ready for the new owner to title. The Landrover is originally from the United Kingdom and it still has 10 months of the UK MOT remaining. For those unfamiliar with the MOT it is a 12 monthly requirement in the UK for all vehicles where they check things such as brakes, lights, steering, chassis, and all round general safety. I have this certificate to hand and will be given to the new keeper which guaranteed you a safe, roadworthy Landrover.

The Vehicle

The Landrover itself is a rare factory County Station Wagon. This means it has the "County" pack which is basically a cloth interior, alloy wheels, alpine windows in the roof and a sunroof etc. Being the Station Wagon means that it has the rare 4 fold down individual seats which would have been factory fitted. You see many Defenders that have had the side windows cut in and bench seats installed and these are inferior compared to these genuine ones as these have all the trim around the windows and roof lining which the others generally do not. The engine is the original 4 cylinder 2.5 diesel which is renowned as being one of the most reliable engines to have in one of these. They will do nearly 35-40 MPG and will achieve speeds up to 80 mph so more than enough for driving on the Freeway.

The Body

The exterior is finished in a white/cream color which is the original color and has not been altered in any way. The paintwork is in good shape and has a good finish to it. The bodies on these Defenders are Aluminium panels and I am pleased to say it is in excellent order for its age. The combination of steel on the inside and aluminium on the outside causes oxidation spots and there a couple of light ones in a couple of places but nothing major at all. But for a 28 year old Landrover, it really is excellent and more importantly, straight and solid. The bulkhead is in superb shape and there are no obvious signs of any repairs etc. The footwells are also in good solid condition.

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 3 front seats are finished in original trim and they are in decent condition with just a couple of minor marks. The 4 rear fold down seats all operate as they ought to and again just have a couple of light marks from 28 years of use. The dashboards and door cards are original, complete and in decent condition. The carpets and roof lining is also nice and clean and its been well cared for by the previous owners down the years.

Mechanicals

The 2.5 litre 4 cylinder diesel engine is one of the best and most relaible engine Land rover ever built. They are made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never let you down. It has been well serviced and cared for and there are some receipts for work done so its ready to go for the next 100k miles. Look after these simple engines and they will give years of trouble free economical motoring. The Landrover has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both the gearbox and transfer box work excellent. There are no nasty noises rattles whatsoever. The gear selection is all nice and smooth both up and down the box. The Defender is permanent four wheel drive . The high/low gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. There is a small gearknob near the main gear stick to select the low range gears.

The Chassis

The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the previous owner. The Chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN is SALLDVBC7AA251853

U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars

Mon, Jan 27 2020

WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high Â— British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
