Hi and thanks for looking at our listing for this Landrover Defender 90. Unlike many sellers this Landrover is to be collected by the new buyer in 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 88" factory County Station Wagon. This Landrover has been fully restored approximately 12-18 months ago. A lot of money was spent on it. The Frame was taken off and the whole rear third of the frame was renewed for a brand new section. New outriggers were also installed and the whole frame was gone over and sealed to provide years of protection. The whole bulkhead has been renewed around 24 months ago along with new A pillars and floor pans. In addition, new front doors were fitted around the same time. The front seats are brand new and have not been sat in. The motor was removed from the Landrover and has been fully rebuilt with new Pistons, valves, head skimming work and a general complete overhaul. The motor has also been freshened up and colour coded to match the exterior. The gearbox was removed, rebuilt and added was a Fairey overdrive system which gives an extra gear for Freeway driving. The fluids in the front and rear diff were drained and diffs were resealed again for extra longevity. A new set of genuine and expensive Landrover wheels were added. The paintwork has been done around 18 months ago and a new galvanised bumper has been fitted. The cost of this work was well above $10,000 and probably closer to $15,000.

The Body

The exterior is finished in a marine blue contrasted with a cream safari roof. These Landrovers as you will know have aluminum panels and as such they generally have a few light impressions as this one does but nothing major. There is also a slight crack to the paint on the rear quarter but nothing major at all. The metal trim around the windows and lights etc has all been painted along with the whole body and engine bay being painted. The exterior looks very good indeed as you would expect but please remember it has been used for the last 12 months as a daily driver so there a few light marks that are just "typical Landrover". The frame is superbly solid, the bulkhead is great and the whole thing is just nice and solid and all the expensive jobs have been taken care of.

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 3 front seats are brand new and have hardly been sat in. Being the Safari station wagon, it has the genuine and factory fitted 4 x fold down rear seats in the back. They are in decent shape but do have so signs of use and a small amount of wear on a couple of them. We have chequer plated the rear out and it has even been painted on the inside to match the outisde. The 2 x front doors were new arounf 18 months ago so no corrosion issues on the ddor frames etc. The rear door is also very good and solid. The rear door card has a few marks but nothing major at all. Again very good indeed. Floor in the front has all been painted as well.

Mechanicals

The 2.25 Diesel engine has been removed and gone through and basically fully rebuilt. It wanted for nothing and the rebuild was done by a Landrover shop so done properly. The motor is great and runs without fault. The gearbox was removed, stripped and rebuilt with the addition of the Fairey Overdrive system which is a $1000 job on its own. The 4WD system was gone through and new uj's were added and the prop was all greased to factory spec. The brakes have been overhauled. The steering box has been replaced and adjusted accordingly. A new radiator was added also. All fluids were drained and renewed and engine fully serviced. As you can imagine it runs like new and the Landrover shop commented on how quiet it ran for a diesel one of this age. This is ready to be driven and enjoyed on a daily basis!

Customs, title and delivery

The vehicle when collected will have passed all DOT and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a lot of Defenders for sale on ebay, the Defender will be to collect in the USA, Hhilton Head South Carolina, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut workforce by 2,000 in push toward electric future

Thu, Feb 18 2021

Jaguar Land Rover said on Wednesday it would cut 2,000 jobs from its global salaried workforce, just days after announcing its luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and e-models of its entire lineup will be launched by 2030. "The full review of the Jaguar Land Rover organization is already under way," the company said in an emailed statement. "We anticipate a net reduction of around 2,000 people from our global salaried workforce in the next financial year," it said. However, it added that the organizational review did not impact hourly paid, manufacturing employees. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said earlier that its Land Rover brand will launch six fully electric models over the next five years, with the first in 2024. Known for its iconic, high-performance E-Type model in the 1960s and 1970s, Jaguar faces the same challenges as many other carmakers as it transitions to electric vehicles while trying to retain the feeling and power of a luxury combustion engine model. Last month, Tata Motors said it was concerned by semiconductor shortages and Brexit-related supply disruptions as its luxury car sales recover, although the Indian automaker added these had not yet hit production. Tata Motors posted three straight quarters of losses as the COVID-19 crisis dented sales, exacerbating uncertainties over Britain's exit from the European Union, weak demand and rising costs, but had bounced back to clock a profit in its third quarter to the end of December. The 2,000 reduction in JLR's non-factory jobs was reported earlier on Wednesday by Sky News.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.

Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?

Fri, Jul 15 2016

The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:
