Our mission is to sell beautiful mechanically sound and US legal vehicles, with 100% success! For more info about us and the way we work, please click on the about me button. Introduction: The Alpina The Vehicle As you will see in the list below, lots of work has been done and even more money has been spend to get this Land Rover in a very good state and working order. It’s originally from Cambridge, UK, where it has been used by a family as their holiday vehicle. It was dry stored and therefore in a really good condition when we bought her as our new project. First we started by stripping her down to bare aluminium. Then it got professionally sprayed in Alpine White, like the Defender NAS. When finished, all the parts where put back in place. As we tried to keep it as original as possible, most parts are the original parts but some of them where necessary to replace for new ones. When the body work was finished, our Land Rover mechanic started working on her. Everything got thoroughly checked, repaired or replaced to make sure the Alpina is completely ready for her new life. Underneath you will find a short list/summary. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS
The Engine The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine, is one of the best and most reliable engines land rover ever build. They’re made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never let you down. The turbo gives the extra torque you need. A lot of work has been done to make it ready for the next 100k miles. So no maintenance to be expected in the near future. Please promise us to service Aplina on a regular basis, as she will last a lot longer on fresh oil and regular TLC (tender, love and care). The Transmission She has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and next to the gearbox stick. The Body The aluminum body and paintwork are in a very good condition. The recent paintjob makes the vehicle look like new. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. Also on some spots the combination of steel on the inside and thin aluminum on the outside causes some small marks. But for a 26 year old vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly looked after. The Defender has a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to go through deep water. 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. Worth mentioning is that the steering guard bar has a small dent, which hasn't effect on the function. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. US vin decoders won't recognize this vin because it's a European vin. The VIN is: SALLDHMB7EA329668
The Interior The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are a in very good and original condition. The radio is old and is ready to be thrown out of the window. It’s your decision to plug in a new radio to your needs. The whole infrastructure is there. The tires The Defender has got 4 good all terrain tires and a brand new spare. It’s to be advised that if you are going to use the truck only on normal roads, to put normal road tires on it. If going to be used primarily on dirt roads or off road, put off-roaders under it. Service It has just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition. Customs, title and delivery The vehicle passed all DOT, EPA and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a lot of Defenders for sale on eBay, this Defender is already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included. Where needed, we can assist with the titling as we have got the experience. If preferred, for transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Send an email for quotes. Deposit We require a deposit of $500, - within 24 hours after the end of auction. For more pictures please click on Alpina Recent Feedback: Hi guys... I wanted to write you a brief note to compliment you on the quality of the LRD110 I purchased from you off EBay. I have now used the truck for 6 months with trouble-free service. I have had a few repairs done by two separate LRD specialists (one near each of my houses) both of whom have heavily praised the truck's condition given its age. I have purchased two vehicles off of EBay - and I'm sure you guys know that it can be risky. Thanks for being so diligent in finding this clean original specimen! The experience has been "just what I wanted". Best regards, j.d. (To verify, check my EBay feedback of August 16th 2013)
Land Rover Defender 110s, especially classic years like 1987, are rare finds. To find one so well prepared and to work with a guy like Daniel van Oort who helped every step of the way and went way beyond our expectations even past delivery is AMAZING. I had such a great experience with Daniel. He kept me always informed of the process as our beautiful “Ms Red” made it through customs in Baltimore. He coordinated everything perfectly. As with all classic vehicles > 25 years old, there can always be subtle issues at first. There were a few, like a small dent in the bumper which occurred somewhere in shipping to the US. Daniel wasted no time negotiating these minor problems. He just dropped a new bumper in the post at his cost and several other spare parts or small items after that. Daniel knew I was a new LR owner and had much to learn. He never hesitated to send me advice and support. He quickly returned every email, was available from 1/2 way around the world when I was going through the tag & title process in Texas to make sure I had all the documentation.
I would completely recommend Daniel and his organization for future purchases and, in fact, I have been circulating his name among Land Rover clubs and social media that I participate in. He’s a top notch seller and there’s nothing I would change about our experience. My family and I have already created lots of great memories in our Land Rover Defender 110 and the candy-apple red color is a head turner!! We always get lots of compliments from other Land Rover classic owners who really know their stuff. They are also impressed with my experiences, the value and services I received from Daniel.
Thanks Daniel. Many more memories to come and my wife now wants a Land Rover Defender of her own….so will be in touch soon.

Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings
Mon, Jun 15 2020BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
