1985 Land Rover Defender 90 - Rhd, Diesel, Fully Imported, Present, Usa Titled on 2040-cars
Rockville, Minnesota, United States
|
Up for sale is a beautifully original unmolested 1985 Land Rover Defender 90 recently imported from the UK. It has cleared customs, is titled in Minnesota, and resides comfortably indoors in my heated shop.
It is the original factory 200 tdi diesel with a 5-speed manual. Starts well, runs as it should, and drives comfortably (albeit slowly!) down the road without a lot of drama, squeaks, or rattles. Easy to drive with power steering and brakes. This vehicle is ready to be driven and enjoyed, and has clearly been well taken care of throughout its life. Have some records which seem to support something close to odometer reading at 124,xxx - though it is more, as it doesn't seem to work since it has been imported. Interior is in very, very nice condition. Third rear jump seat is included with purchase and is in excellent shape as well. Exterior is in nice original unrestored condition. Very, very nice for a 1985. There is a little bit of corrosion in small spots, I have tried to show in the pictures as best I can. Tub is in nice shape. Body mounts appear good, suspension mounts seem solid, and floor seems to be solid as well. Unlike a lot of importers, we did not spray undercoating all over the underbody and frame to hide anything. Offered for sale by a licensed dealer in Rockville, MN (Virtucon, LLC) that specializes in vintage trucks. We are more than happy to assist with shipping in any way we can. Happy to answer any questions and to show the vehicle if you are nearby. Overall, this is a very nice, rare, original defender that is titled in the US and ready to enjoy. It is not a perfect, restored vehicle, but is in good shape for an original survivor. These things are getting tougher and tougher to import, and are being destroyed or rejected by customs more and more often. Even if you are able to locate and import one on your own, the costs of importing are usually well over $4,000 between taxes, shipping, and the like. We do require a deposit of $500 by PayPal. There is a $195 documentation fee attached to all sales, which is waived if you agree to a very small rockville4wd window sticker on the vehicle. Good luck and happy bidding! |

2016 Jaguar F-Type R at Monticello | AutoblogVR
Tue, Sep 27 2016This week we indulged in a bit of fun. We took one of our favorite sports cars, the 2016 Jaguar F-Type to Monticello Motor Club north of New York. Senior Editor Greg Migliore selected the 550-horsepower R variant and pushed this Jag to the limit at one of North America's prettiest tracks. He reveled in the supercharged V8's power and sound as he embraced Monticello's curves and long straightaways. Meanwhile, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski had a similar experience. Kind of. He lapped Monticello in the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR and then went off-roading at a challenging course nearby. It's the best of both worlds. He gets to soak in the blown V8 – but also gets to splatter a little mud. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too! Jaguar Land Rover Driving Off-Road Vehicles Videos VR Original Video virtual reality 360video
UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs
Thu, Feb 1 2018LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
