This is an auction for my 1987 Land Rover Defender 90. The VIN is correct and as ebay will not accept it I had to change the above information to a 1980. Again the VIN is correct and the Defender is a 1987. Along with the title, a heritage certificate will be supplied stating that the vehicle left the Lode Lane factory at Solihull on the 30th March 1987. Due to the vehicles age it is very easy to import into the US. I have no problem driving down to the border where the new owner would simply fill out Customs Form 7501 and pay 2% duty. As the vehicle is over 25 years of age B.C. residents could register it as a collectors vehicle and benefit from much reduced insurance premiums. I imported this vehicle directly from the British Army in 2011 and after a complete rebuild I covered over 12,000 KMS without incident. Vehicle is currently inspected and registered in B.C. Canada.
ENGINE : 2495cc 12J 4 cylinder normally aspirated diesel. 65.5 bhp at 4000 RPM. 113 lbft of torque at 1800 RPM. 5 bearing crank. Perfect working order. Driven normally you can expect around 25 MPG. Vehicle has a top speed of 130 KPH but this is just an indication of gearing and much prefers to cruise around the 100 KPH mark. Fully overhauled 12,000 KMS ago. All seals, belts etc. Fully reconditioned injection pump and injectors. A later PVC system was also fitted. Block heater fitted. It also benefits from an oil cooler and a 16" Kenlowe electric fan. Straight through exhaust system. Vehicle will be supplied with new oil and filter.
CHASSIS : Original and perfect. Never welded or repaired. Bulkhead is also original and unrepaired. There has been two small repairs in the footwells.Photos will be provided upon request.
TRANSMISSION : LT77 5 speed manual. Permanent 4WD with manual diff lock and high/low ratio. Remote breathers on gearbox,transfer box and both axles. Free from any defects. No crunching or jumping out of gear.
BRAKES : Discs up front with drums on the rear. Perfect working order. Standard dual circuit, servo assisted.
STEERING : Light and precise. Original LHD manual box.
MILEAGE: Speedo is in KMS and shows 149875. For miles I multiplied this figure by 0.6214
BODYWORK : The aluminium alloy bodywork still has lots of dents or patina if you prefer. Please see photos. It is very straight. Bare metal respray in urethane, deep bronze green. The hard top/back door takes around half an hour to remove and around an hour to reinstall.
OTHER NEW PARTS : All new one piece door seals. New windscreen and seals. Halogen headlamps.
QUESTIONS : Heater is excellent in both cab heat and defrost. If vehicle goes to a cold climate I will supply a Land Rover radiator muff which improves things even more. I am happy to help with any collection or delivery instructions. Please note that this is an extremelt tough yet basic vehicle. No power steering, no ABS, no aircon. The windscreen is hinged and folds down if you require more air. The doors are also quickly removed. It is a very simple vehicle and consequently very easy to maintain. Parts are inexpensive and readily available. I use paddockspares in the UK. If you are new to ebay or have less than 10 feedbacks please contact me before bidding. Please no requests for trades. This is an exeptional vehicle and the reserve is set accordingly. Ebay will let you know when and if the reserve has been met. Any inspectiond or test drives welcome. You can see and hear the vehicle running by visiting youtube and searching for "1987 military Defender 90 2.5 diesel LHD." If I have failed to answer any of your questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Vehicle is located at V1E 0B2, Salmon Arm, B.C. Canada. Thanks, Steven.

All Jaguars and Land Rovers to get diesel engines... almost
Mon, Jan 12 2015Virtually all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles – except the F-Type sports car – will get a diesel engine option in the next three years, the company confirmed Sunday night at an event before the Detroit Auto Show. The aggressive blitz begins this fall, when the 2016 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will launch with available turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines. They will push out 254 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, while returning fuel economy of up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The combined rating in city and highway driving will be 25 mpg. The Rovers will be followed in 2016 by the XE sedan and F-Pace crossover, which will offer the 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines, in addition to gasoline units. The diesel-powered XE is expected to get at least 40 mpg on the highway, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Joe Eberhardt said. The oil-burners are expected to offer 20-to-30 percent improvements in fuel economy compared with gasoline engines, depending on the vehicle. JLR's announcement comes as gasoline prices have plummeted in the United States, and regular fuel costs about $1 less than a gallon of diesel, according to AAA research. Still, the company is taking the long view, and Eberhardt said diesel engines offer greater performance and range than other options. JLR expects about 20 percent of its customers will opt for diesel engines. "We strongly believe this is what our customers will want, regardless of the fluctuations in gas prices," he said.
