Our mission is to sell
beautiful mechanically sound and US legal vehicles, with 100% success! This is one of our latest
customer feedbacks: Hi guys... I wanted to write you a brief note to compliment you on
the quality of the LRD110 I purchased from you off EBay. I have
now used the truck for 6 months with trouble-free service. I have had
a few repairs done by two separate LRD specialists (one near each of my houses)
both of whom have heavily praised the truck's condition given its
age. I have purchased two vehicles off of EBay - and I'm sure you guys
know that it can be risky. Thanks for being so diligent in finding this
clean original specimen! The experience has been "just what I
wanted". Best regards, j.d. (To verify, check my Ebay
feedback of August 16th 2013) For more info about us and the

Introduction: The Alpina The Vehicle As you will see in the list
below, lots of work has been done and even more money has been spend to get
this Land Rover in a very good state and working order. It’s originally from Cambridge,
UK, where it has been used by a family as their holiday vehicle. It was dry stored
and therefore in a really good condition when we bought her as our new project.
First we started by stripping
her down to bare aluminium. Then it got professionally sprayed in Alpine White,
like the Defender NAS. When finished, all the parts where put back in place. As
we tried to keep it as original as possible, most parts are the original parts
but some of them where necessary to replace for new ones. When the body work
was finished, our Land Rover mechanic started working on her. Everything got thoroughly
checked, repaired or replaced to make sure the Alpina is completely ready for her
new life. Underneath you will find a short list/summary. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW
PARTS
The Engine The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine, is one of the best and most
reliable engines land rover ever build. They’re made to last forever, are easy
to maintain and never let you down. The turbo gives the extra torque you need.
A lot of work has been done to make it ready for the next 100k miles. So no
maintenance to be expected in the near future. Please promise us to service
Aplina on a regular basis, as she will last a lot longer on fresh oil and
regular TLC (tender, love and care). The Transmission She has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box
work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes
smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low
gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is
below and next to the gearbox stick. The Body The aluminum body and paintwork are in a very good condition. The recent paintjob makes the vehicle look like new. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. Also on some spots the combination of steel on the inside and thin aluminum on the outside causes some small marks. But for a 26 year old vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly looked after. The Defender has a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is
mounted if you need to go through deep water. The Chassis The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the previous owner. Worth mentioning is that the steering guard bar has a small dent, which hasn't effect on the function. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN
is: SALLDHMB7EA329668
The Interior The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2
benches are a in very good and original condition. The radio is old and is
ready to be thrown out of the window. It’s your decision to plug in a new radio
to your needs. The whole infrastructure is there. The tires The Defender has got 4 good all terrain tires and a brand new spare. It’s
to be advised that if you are going to use the truck only on normal roads, to
put normal road tires on it. If going to be used primarily on dirt roads or off
road, put off-roaders under it. Service It has just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles,
gearbox, transfer box and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power
steering system is in excellent condition. Customs, title and delivery The vehicle passed all DOT and
DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a lot
of Defenders for sale on ebay, this Defender is
already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary
paperwork will be included. Where needed, we can assist with the titling as we
have got the experience. If
preferred, for transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Send an
email for quotes. Deposit, Payment, Title To secure your Land Rover, we require a deposit
of $1000,- within 24 hours after the end of auction. The remaining amount by
bank transfer on the day of transportation. For more info please send an email. After the full amount has been transferred, all
necessary paperwork will be send by Express DHL delivery. For more pictures please click on Alpina |

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
Check out King Charles III's $17.6 million car collection
Fri, May 5 2023King Charles III's coronation will take place in England on May 6, and being crowned a monarch comes with a long list of perks with four wheels. He will gain full access to the Royal Family's fleet of cars, which is valued at about GBP14 million (approximately $17.6 million). The two most expensive cars in the collection are nearly identical: they're a pair of Bentley State Limousine models (pictured) built for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III's mother, in 2002. Only two units were made, and they're both part of the Royal Family's fleet, so they're difficult to put a value on; it's not like one is going to end up listed on your favorite auction site anytime soon. British company Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, which compiled the list, estimates that each armored, 245-inch long sedan is worth at least GBP10,000,000 (roughly $12.6 million). Dropping below the eight-digit threshold, the second-most-valuable car in the Royal Family's fleet isn't really a car. It's the Gold State Coach, which Matchbox recently released a 1/64-scale replica of, and its value is estimated at GBP1.6 million (about $2 million). At 275 inches long it's even bigger than the Bentley limousine and it weighs about 9,000 pounds. It's 261 years old and designed to be pulled by eight horses, and has been part of every coronation since 1831. The rest of the Royal Family's vehicles are relatively mundane. There's a 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Volante that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip, bought for King Charles III on his 21st birthday. It's worth GBP1 million (about $1.2 million). The collection also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (about $627,000), a Bentley Bentayga (about $201,000), a Land Rover Range Rover long-wheelbase Landaulet ($133,000), a Jaguar XE (about $41,000), and a Land Rover Defender ($38,000). "Luxury cars have long been associated with the monarch and King Charles III, in particular, is known for his fondness of motor vehicles. His impressive collection features sentimental value with motors passed down from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to cars bought for him by his parents," explained Keith Hawes, the director of Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, in an interview with CBS News. Being at the head of a car-making nation's royal family also comes with drawbacks: Every vehicle in King Charles III's fleet is British.
GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse
Fri, Dec 19 2014The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.
