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 |

New Land Rover Defender aces Euro crash tests
Wed, Dec 9 2020While the 2020 Land Rover Defender has not yet been crash-test by U.S. safety agencies such as NHTSA or IIHS, we do now have results for Europe's NCAP crash tests and accident-avoidance tests, where the Defender earned the top rating of five stars. The Defender model used for NCAP testing was the 110 variant with right-hand drive. The NCAP regimen includes several different crash tests: an offset front crash test into a moveable barrier with both the vehicle and the barrier traveling at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a front crash test into a full-width fixed barrier at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a side-impact crash test with a barrier traveling at 60 km/hr (37 mph) hitting the driver's door, and a side-impact test where the car strikes a pole at 32 km/hr (20 mph). The Defender's scores for the adult occupant and for a child occupant were both 85%. Additionally, the agency looks at the severity of injuries of the vehicle striking a pedestrian, taking data for a pedestrian's head hitting the hood, and their upper and lower leg being hit by the front of the vehicle. There is also testing of the vehicle's automatic emergency braking system's ability to avoiding hitting a pedestrian and a cyclist under various scenarios. The efficacy of active-safety systems for avoiding collisions with other vehicles is also tested. The Defender's score for protecting pedestrians and cyclists was 71%. The driver assists scored 79%. Results for several European-market cars were released together with those for the Defender, the most noteworthy of which was for the Honda E. The electric city car fared less well than the big Land Rover, garnering a score of four stars overall. In the same battery of test, the Honda E scored 76% for adult occupant protection, 82% for a child occupant, 62% for protecting pedestrians and cyclists, and 65% for its driver assists.

Jaguar Land Rover and Cambridge have developed a touchless touchscreen
Thu, Jul 23 2020Jaguar Land Rover and the University of Cambridge are working on new touchscreen technology that eliminates the need to touch the screen. Counterintuitive, right? It’s called “predictive touch” for now, in part because the system is able to predict what you might be aiming for on the screen. The video at the top of this post is the best way to understand how users will interact with the tech, but weÂ’ll do some more explaining here. You simply reach out with your finger pointing toward the item on screen that you want to select. ItÂ’ll highlight the item and then select it. HereÂ’s how it works, according to the University of Cambridge: “The technology uses machine intelligence to determine the item the user intends to select on the screen early in the pointing task, speeding up the interaction. It uses a gesture tracker, including vision-based or radio frequency-based sensors, which are increasingly common in consumer electronics; contextual information such as user profile, interface design, environmental conditions; and data available from other sensors, such as an eye-gaze tracker, to infer the userÂ’s intent in real time.” Cambridge claims that lab tests showed a 50 percent reduction in both effort and time by the driver in using the screen, which would theoretically translate to more time looking at the road and less time jabbing away at the screen. If the prediction and machine learning tech is good enough, we could see this resulting in a reduced number of accidental inputs. However, on a certain level it almost sounds more difficult to point at a screen while moving than it does to actually touch a section of that screen. Without using the tech and its supposedly great predictive abilities, we canÂ’t come to any grand conclusions. One comparison you may already be thinking of is BMWÂ’s Gesture Controls. ItÂ’s already been addressed with a subtle diss from Cambridge: “Our technology has numerous advantages over more basic mid-air interaction techniques or conventional gesture recognition, because it supports intuitive interactions with legacy interface designs and doesnÂ’t require any learning on the part of the user,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad of the University of Cambridge. Of course, this tech can be used for much more than just vehicle touchscreen control. Cambridge says it could be integrated into ATMs, airport check-in kiosks, grocery store self checkouts and more.
Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues
Tue, Aug 2 2022Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident. Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3. "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly. "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months. Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan
