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.

The Story

Build in October 1983, this is one of the first 110’s ever made! Among land Rover connoisseurs this is regarded as a real collector’s item. The combination of a 9 seats “County” most luxury finished with a 3.5 V8 engine and a 4 speed gearbox with Fairey overdrive is very hard to find. Even harder to find are the ones that are totally original like this one and so well maintained with only 91.000 miles on the clock!

 

The service history that comes with the Defender confirms that the mileage is correct. All the receipts of recent services are also available. They show what has been done to it and how well it has been maintained by Land Rover specialists. During the biggest part of her life she was owned by an English landlord who took very good care of her. People who are familiar with classic Defenders will be astonished by this one. Although it has driven some miles on the beautiful British roads, it will have many many more in it. Under normal usage and proper maintenance, those V8 blocks can do over 300.000 miles because they aren’t build for racing but for endurance. If you prefer diesel, like the Land Rover 300 TDI, this Defender is a perfect basis to convert, now or in the future. But please enjoy this V8 first. It isn’t as quick as a Ferrari but it is such a nice cruiser!

 

The Engine

The V8 petrol engine has a twin carb system. It starts within a second and runs as smooth as silk. It never misses a beat and has his characteristic V8 roar. For a cold start there is a choke available behind the steering wheel. The engine is really easy to maintain because the engine bay is very big and parts are widely available and come cheap. The engine is very well serviced and maintenance has just been done.

 

The Transmission

The gearbox is the original 4 speed LT95 with a Fairey overdrive. This is a very strong and reliable gearbox. It is known for its liability, robustness and good ratio’s. One of the best Land Rover ever build. It has 4 “normal” speeds and the extra overdrive. The overdrive has his own stick and is regarded as the 5th gear. You could choose to leave it engaged the whole time but it’s better to use it as an economical extra gear. 

Both gearbox and overdrive 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 shift stick.

 

The Body

The aluminum body is in very good condition. Especially if you consider that it has still it’s original paint! Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 30 year old vehicle, it is very very beautiful! The firewall and foot wells are totally clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight, close and open perfectly. There is some rust at the bottoms, which isn’t visible from the outside and isn’t bad. Something that is very typical for a Defender. Now water that enters the inside of the doors through the windows can easily flow out. The windows work as they should. The locks all work and on the same key.

The Defender has a height adjustable tow bar with electrics. Also a robust winch bumper with A-bar is mounted with big Wipac lights. They can be switched on and off by a switch in the dash.

 

The Chassis

The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this car. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years. Over that layer, there is black over coating. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN is: SALLDHMV1AA198497. Encoded this means:

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is sound proofed and has the original carpets or rubber mats. The headlining is in perfect condition with almost no spots or other marks of age, which is very exceptional. The seats are brown/beige, leather/cloth and in very good condition. There are 3 seats on the front row, 3 on the middle row and 2 benches in the rear that will fit 4 adults or 6 children. Seatbelts are mounted.

 

The Rest

Recently replaced:

  • Shocks and suspension rear
  • Fuel tank
  • Lighting all round
  • Brakes and brake pipes
  • Rear exhaust with silencer
  • Seatbelts

The Defender has got 5 Michelin all terrain tires which are almost like new. Even the spare wheel, which is mounted on a swing away carrier to take the load of the back door, is in very good condition

 

Service

It has just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box and so one have either been refreshed or filled up. It has also got 8 new spark plugs. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition. I have owned many Defenders and driven even more of them, but I never felt one that is driving and steering so well. No play at all in the steering wheel, which is rather strange for a classic Defender.

Trying to be as honest as possible, I need to mention that the bottoms of the doors have some rust, which isn’t bad but I have to mention it. 
Because it’s a 1983 vehicle, it isn’t new and has his traces of age. But being totally original it is in an outstanding condition.

 

Customs, title and delivery

The vehicle passed all DOT 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, New Jersey, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled.

Our Story

We started our Land Rover journey with a dream, driving a classic Defender from cape to cape. That means from the North-cape in Norway to Cape town, South Africa. Therefore we refurbished a 1986 3 door Land Rover Defender 110, and modified her to a camper van. After that, she was mechanically and optically sound to make this incredible journey. By the time our project finished, we were addicted… So we started our own business to buy, refurbish and sell classic Defenders.

This is a big adventure which makes lots of fun and gives even more happiness! Especially our happy and enthusiastic customers who still give us updates on their Land Rover experience. This makes us even more motivated to do our utmost best to deliver a high quality end product.

We don’t do every Defender that crosses our path.  We only do the ones we love.  As a Defender is not just another car, used to travel from A to B. Every Defender has its own character and emotional experience. And when you work with passion on something that you love, the only outcome possible is positive.

After 30 very successful projects we have harvested a huge amount of knowledge. Together with a team of very enthusiastic and experienced land rover mechanics we are able to deliver a beautiful and high quality Defender.

We can’t guarantee that you will have a trouble free experience with these classic beauties given their age, that would be unreal, but we can guarantee that we checked, repaired/renewed and checked again all parts!

The only question that has left... 

Are you Landventurous enough to drive your Dreamfender?

Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit

Fri, Jan 29 2021

BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.

Jaguar Land Rover calling in 100k vehicles in three separate campaigns

Sun, Feb 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling an estimated 104,114 vehicles in three separate campaigns in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The largest of them affects Range Rovers made between April 15, 2005, and September 4, 2012, covering 74,648 units in America from the 2006 to 2012 model years. In those affected vehicles, the front brake hose could rupture, leaking brake fluid and decreasing the capability of the brakes to, you know... stop the vehicle. In a similar but separate recall, subsequent Range Rovers from the 2013 and 2014 model years (manufactured between August 16, 2012, and January 8, 2014) are also being recalled for a brake issue – this time due to the incorrect routing of the brake vacuum hose. The issue could wear down the hose and disable the power assist, again impeding the brakes from properly functioning. This second recall also affects the 2014 Range Rover Sport (specifically those manufactured between May 7, 2013, and January 8, 2014), affecting 24,679 units between both models across the United States. A third smaller recall concerns the 2012-2015 Jaguar XK – namely those built between March 4, 2011, and March 20, 2014. This campaign involves the front side parking lamps, which might switch off after about five minutes, in contravention of federal standards. As such, an estimated 4,787 units are being called in. In all three cases, owners of the affected vehicles can expect to hear from their local dealer to arrange to bring in their wayward British luxury vehicles to have the relevant issue fixed. RECALL Subject : Front Brake Hose(s) may Rupture Report Receipt Date: JAN 27, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V039000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 74,648 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles manufactured April 15, 2005, to September 4, 2012. One or both of the flexible front brake hoses may rupture causing loss of brake fluid. CONSEQUENCE: If one or both of the flexible brake hoses fails, the vehicle may require a longer distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left and right front brake hoses, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 13, 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
