This is an all original (except paint) 1986 Land Rover 127, Latterly known as a Defender 130. Originally a UK authorities vehicle, it was decommissioned at a young age and stored for many years. Imported to New Zealand in the late 90's it was then stored again until 2007 when it was; re-commissioned, painted and used by the Bungy Jump Company. I bought it recently from them with 98,000 original miles. I replaced the tyres and fitted a custom made canvas rear canopy. 

The truck has no rust other than a little surface in the front foot well as pictured. It has a 3.5 V8 and 5 speed transmission that has been very well maintained. Starts, stops, runs and drives excellently. Paint is good but not perfect and the color was changed from light blue to light grey (not a major but can be seen on the interior floor. The original build sheet is still attached to the seat box as is its official documentation (when new) from the British Department of Transport, so no issues with proving this trucks age or originality.
I sent a Land Rover 110 to Seattle last year and the new owners are very pleased with it. If you need a reference I can introduce you.
The price of US$25,500 includes; Container shipping to Long Beach CA, Port/Import fees/taxes and most importantly Customs clearance. Ready for you to collect and register in a state of your choice.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
