1986 Landrover Defender 90 3.5 V8 With Off Road Extras In Black With Sc Title!! on 2040-cars
United States
DREAMFENDERS ARE PLEASED TO OFFER FOR SALE A ...... 1986 LANDROVER 90 3.5 V8 IN BLACK WITH OFF ROAD EXTRAS Ebay does not recognise the UK vin which is - SALLDHAV7FA365345 This Landrover unlike many others for sale is already in the USA and comes with a SC title so no worry about getting EPA and DOT approval along with getting a title as all this has been done. I am located in Bluffton, SC, 29910. $500 deposit required within 24 hours of auction end and full payment within 5 days. Payment can be by cash etc if collecting in person or by wire transfer if having it couriered. The Landrover itself is a right hand driver Landrover 90 that was built new in 1986. It has been recently imported from the UK where the previous owner has used it somewhat as an off-road toy as you can see by the added off road extras it has fitted. It has the original 3.5 litre v8 gasoline engine and 5 speed manual transmission. The extras that have been fitted include an off road set of wheels with off road tyres, heavy duty tree sliders, heavy duty tow on the front and rear, winch bumper and winch (not wired in) and also an integral roll cage. This Landover has obviously been used for off roading and has a few dings around the body but mainly to the roof. It looks worse than it is as a new roof could be fitted if wanted as all panels are removable on these. The main thing with this 90 is the fact that the frame is in superb condition. It has had the rear cross member changed at some point so that expensive job has been taken care of. The outriggers are in excellent shape as is all of the chassis and no work is needed to be done to it. The bulkhead is in great shape and is again nice and solid. The floor pans have been replaced and are in good shape. The door frames are also in very good condition for one of these. I have taken many images of the chassis below so please take a look for yourselves. The interior is in good shape. The front seats are in a beige cloth material and are in remarkable condition for the age of the vehicle. There is no wear and no stains to them at all and they are very good indeed. To the rear of the 90 is the installed roll frame. In here there is also an off-road spare and also a genuine Landrover high lift jack. You will notice that there are 2 storage boxes in the rear. These are full of brand new spare parts etc for the Landy. There are new coils, new ht leads, new fan belts, alternator belts, spark plugs, filters etc etc and I'm sure this will be handy when spares are needed. The Landy cranks up well. The fuel pump has just been renewed as the old one was a little bit lazy. The motor sounds good with no nasty noises etc and runs nicely. The exhaust has been upgraded to a twin exit which sounds a bit louder than normal but I see that as a positive especially with the V8 motor. The transmission is a 5 speed manual LT77 box which has the top left reverse. All gears shift well with no issues. The clutch is also good and the brakes, steering, suspension etc are all good. In conclusion this is a very solid Landrover 90 with a superb, strong chassis. It has some great off road extras fitted and will be a great piece of kit for someone regardless of the various dings and marks and most importantly it has a SC title so its good to go :-)) Happy bidding IMAGES

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers
Sun, Nov 20 2022LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Frankfurt Motor Show Notes: Why Jaguar decided to build an SUV
Wed, Sep 16 2015It was inevitable. Jaguar had to make an SUV, and that notion became reality this week with the debut of the F-Pace, an all-wheel-drive five-seater that will launch in the United States next spring. Some purists may cringe. But in an era when Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and other traditional luxury brands are all building or (planning to build) SUVs, Jaguar had to evolve. While it seems like a leap for Jaguar to make an SUV, longtime design director Ian Callum said it's been in the works for years. "The first time I was asked the question was when I arrived 16 years ago," he said. So in 1999 (and probably well before that), Jaguar was already thinking SUV. What took so long? "It wasn't a priority," Callum said. Jaguar was concentrating on fixing its existing lineup, which was pockmarked with holes and poorly selling products, like the X-Type. Along the way, Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover were sold by Ford to Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. Flash forward several years, and Jaguar and Land Rover are both experiencing a resurgence in the United States and around the world. Jaguar's lineup is flush with the E-Type's modern successor, the F-Type, plus a new version of the XF. The XJ received a 2016 freshening, and the smaller XE sedan is on the way. Jaguar put its house in order as other factors conspired to make a crossover timely. Fuel prices stayed relatively low, and consumers in the US and China remained steadfast in their love for utility vehicles of all stripes. Making a Jaguar SUV became a priority. "The world was telling us in no uncertain terms this is what they wanted," Callum said. "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." Jaguar proved its intent two years ago when it revealed the C-X17 crossover concept at Frankfurt, and the final production model is close to the prototype's striking looks. "I thought we managed to maintain that spirit," Callum said. It's a true Jaguar, with cues from the F-Type, 1968 XJ, and other famous models. Who would have thought Jaguar would make an SUV? "I certainly didn't," Callum admitted. But the F-Pace is here. If Callum is okay with it, purists can be, too. Quick Hits Opel retrenches for 2016 and beyond Opel used the Frankfurt show to display its new generation of the Astra, a critical vehicle line for the German division of General Motors.
