1986 Land Rover Defender 90 Tons Of Work, Refurbished Engine, Tons Of New Parts. on 2040-cars
Eureka, Missouri, United States
"LOW RESERVE" for a vehicle with all of this work, considerably less than some of the ones currently advertised on here. Shoot me an offer, I might take it.. I am not an importer/exporter or dealer. I hand picked this vehicle after several years of looking at vehicles in the UK.
For sale is my XMOD 1986 Land Rover 90 "Defender", Date in service October 16, 1986, vehicle spent all of its life in Cyprus before disposal in the UK in 2011. I am the 2nd owner after release from the military. The previous owner hand picked this one from Witham's and had work done to it before I purchased it, the only reason he sold is because he picked up a Wolf and didn't need two Landy's. Vehicle was used in a cross country trip by me from the UK to Romania, where she has been for the last 1.5 years, averaged around 28mpg at 60mph. Only reason I am selling is I am staying abroad a few more years and I am going to get something newer. I bought it and had all of the work done to import it myself, but since my plans have changed, this is the only reason I am selling her. I am planning on driving her back towards the UK in the next few weeks if she sells and the mileage will increase to around 2000 miles. I will drive the vehicle to Rotterdam where it can be shipped to a East/West Coast port. If vehicle does not sell, I might leave her in Romania until the fall, or just make the trip anyway and ship the vehicle to the states, do all the importation paperwork and sell her for a higher price later this year, this is your chance to save thousands of dollars. Will include bill of sale, V5 from the UK and all paperwork, receipts. You will be responsible for shipping from Rotterdam to your location, import fees and applicable taxes. If BIN price is met, I will cover shipping from Rotterdam to NY, or up to $1500 credit for shipping to another location, you are still responsible for import fees and applicable taxes. 10% deposit due 24 hrs after auction ends via Paypal, balance due within 72 hrs after auction ends (bank transfer or money order). NOTE: EBAY DOES NOT VALIDATE THE UK VIN NUMBER. THIS VEHICLE IS A 1986 NOT A 1980 AS EBAY HAS IT LISTED 2.5 NA diesel and LT77 transmission, with typical small oil leaks, even after replacing gaskets, nothing major. Very little rust, some on the chassis surface, and some on the interior bulkhead and floors, very miniscule. Has NATO and civilian hitch, rubber floor mats, front and rear. Tilt/canvas is in good condition, no tears or leaks, plastic is clear, small scratches, all ropes are present. I have a current quote from Rotterdam to NY, they also have a import specialist there that can help with the import paperwork on the US side. 1 x 1986 Land Rover defender 90 Transport per console container Work done by previous owner, over 1000 pounds invested by him before I purchased it.

Thieves stole $3.7 million worth of Jaguar Land Rover engines
Fri, Feb 3 2017This past Tuesday was not a good one for Jaguar Land Rover. According to British news source Birmingham Mail, just over $3.7 million worth of engines were stolen from the company's factory in Solihull, England. Reportedly, the thieves drove up to the facility in a stolen semi-truck, found a trailer full of engines, hooked it up, and drove off. The thieves did this twice in one night, with the same truck, and got the first trailer in just six minutes. Perhaps more shocking is that Birmingham Mail reports this is the second time a theft of this type has occurred at the facility. The previous time happened in almost exactly the same way, but the engines taken were valued at just over $1.2 million, and five people were convicted of the crime. Currently, local police are looking for the latest suspects and the engines. The trailers were found, but were empty. We got in touch with a Jaguar representative who provided us the company's official statement: "We can confirm that we are working closely with West Midlands Police to investigate the theft of engines from the Solihull manufacturing plant. A reward is on offer to anyone who has information which leads to the successful recovery of these engines. It would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment whilst this investigation is ongoing." This was the only statement he would provide, and didn't provide answers as to what engines were stolen and if there would be any impact on manufacturing or vehicle deliveries. But if you're in the UK, and you've got a tip, let the cops know.

Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center
Fri, Mar 20 2015Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
