Defender to make it my project for the US market, it was already in a very good
shape. The previous owner took real good care of her, which was clearly visible
and that’s what convinced me to buy her. The paintwork was in good order, the interior
was beautiful, the engine and gearbox running nicely. Lots of receipts came
with her so I knew he wasn’t hesitating to invest in her. I decided to rebuild
the engine even though it was running excellent. I did it lots of times and it
is way cheaper for me to do it and letting it be done in the US. So I can
guarantee that this engine will run for miles and miles. I put a roof rack on her,
cleaned and wax oiled the chassis and did lots of other things listed below to give
the future buyer a good start on his Land Rover Experience:
The Engine The 3.5 V8
engine is a very reliable and easy to maintain engine. It was developed many years
back so when installed in the Defender is was fully developed and popular
engine. It isn’t the most powerful power source in the world, but it pulls good
and takes you everywhere. We carried out a complete engine overhaul. All gaskets
new, lubricants fresh, timing belt new, full length new exhaust and so on. 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. It was been repainted five
years ago. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some
scratches and age 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 windscreen has
some wiper scratches on the passenger side. Note that this is a classic vehicle
so there are marks of age, not many though! The Defender has
a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to
go through deep water. The heavy duty roof rack makes it look complete. 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. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible
and authentic. The VIN is: SALLDHMV7EA331748
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and as good as new. The 9 seats are finished in black
half leather. There is a multimedia device installed with LCD screen which pops
out when switched on. 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.

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.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
Is this a Jaguar or Land Rover of the future? Yes, the near future
Tue, Feb 18 2020Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a concept vehicle, Project Vector, that the company heralds as preview of future urban transport. The Project Vector is an EV, naturally, and is built on a skateboard chassis with all mechanicals under the floor. That provides for maximum space efficiency in the city-sized vehicle—JLR says it's roughly four meters long, which would make it about half a foot longer than today's Mini Cooper hardtop. It also allows for reconfigurability. The interior is accessed via dual center-opening sliding doors on one side. Four individual seats appear to be mounted on tracks and are shown facing in the same direction, but JLR also says the vehicle can be adapted for delivery use (presumably with most of the seats removed). Project Vector is described as "autonomous-ready," but for now it has a steering wheel and pedals. It's also claimed to be optimized for ride-sharing or private use. The vehicle was developed at the UK's National Automotive Innovation Centre, with the intention to make it a part of the "urban mobility solutions" in the "ecosystem of a smart city," according to JLR. The first such smart city will be Coventry, where an "urban mobility service" will be launched in 2021.

Jaguar Land Rover said to favor Europe rather than US for new plant
Sat, Feb 21 2015With its plants running at full tilt, Jaguar Land Rover is in desperate need of additional manufacturing capacity. That's led to reports that the Indian-owned British company was looking to join European, Japanese and Korean automakers in America's southern states, all while it opened new plants in the UK and China. The company even announced it would be building the Land Rover Discovery Sport in Brazil. Now, though, reports are suggesting that JLR is looking at Europe for a new facility, rather than the US, with Automotive News claiming the company's execs are eyeing the lower costs afforded by Austria and Turkey. The report cites the Birmingham Post (UK), the broadsheet that's closest to the company's headquarters. According to the original report, labor costs and wage disputes with unions are ruling out another factory in the UK, while those same disputes with labor outfits may also be souring the automaker on a US facility. "At this stage Europe seems more likely than America. The union pay dispute had a big effect," an unnamed source told the Post. "There is a feeling of alienation that has been left over from the way the pay talks were handled." JLR, meanwhile, offered a solid no comment to the Post, with a spokesperson saying, "No decision has been taken on future manufacturing locations. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our manufacturing footprint in the future." Related Video:
