Introduction: Victoria II

The Vehicle

When I bought this Defender to make it my project for the US market, it was already in a very good shape. The previous owner took real good care of her, which was clearly visible and that’s what convinced me to buy her. The paintwork was in good order, the interior was beautiful, the engine and gearbox running nicely. Lots of receipts came with her so I knew he wasn’t hesitating to invest in her.

I decided to rebuild the engine even though it was running excellent. I did it lots of times and it is way cheaper for me to do it and letting it be done in the US. So I can guarantee that this engine will run for miles and miles. I put a roof rack on her, cleaned and wax oiled the chassis and did lots of other things listed below to give the future buyer a good start on his Land Rover Experience:

The Engine

The 3.5 V8 engine is a very reliable and easy to maintain engine. It was developed many years back so when installed in the Defender is was fully developed and popular engine. It isn’t the most powerful power source in the world, but it pulls good and takes you everywhere. We carried out a complete engine overhaul. All gaskets new, lubricants fresh, timing belt new, full length new exhaust and so on.

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. It was been repainted five years ago. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age 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 windscreen has some wiper scratches on the passenger side. Note that this is a classic vehicle so there are marks of age, not many though!

The Defender has a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to go through deep water. The heavy duty roof rack makes it look complete.

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. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible and authentic. The VIN is:

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and as good as new. The 9 seats are finished in black half leather. There is a multimedia device installed with LCD screen which pops out when switched on.  

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, EPA 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.

Hi guys...

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)

 

Land Rover Defender 110s, especially classic years like 1987, are rare finds.  To find one so well prepared and to work with a guy like Daniel van Oort who helped every step of the way and went way beyond our expectations even past delivery is AMAZING.    I had such a great experience with Daniel.  He kept me always informed of the process as our beautiful “Ms Red” made it through customs in Baltimore.  He coordinated everything perfectly.  As with all classic vehicles > 25 years old, there can always be subtle issues at first.  There were a few, like a small dent in the bumper which occurred somewhere in shipping to the US.  Daniel wasted no time negotiating these minor problems.  He just dropped a new bumper in the post at his cost and several other spare parts or small items after that.  Daniel knew I was a new LR owner and had much to learn.  He never hesitated to send me advice and support.   He quickly returned every email, was available from 1/2 way around the world when I was going through the tag & title process in Texas to make sure I had all the documentation.

 

I would completely recommend Daniel and his organization for future purchases and, in fact, I have been circulating his name among Land Rover clubs and social media that I participate in.  He’s a top notch seller and there’s nothing I would change about our experience.  My family and I have already created lots of great memories in our Land Rover Defender 110 and the candy-apple red color is a head turner!!  We always get lots of compliments from other Land Rover classic owners who really know their stuff.  They are also impressed with my experiences, the value and services I received from Daniel.

 

Thanks Daniel.  Many more memories to come and my wife now wants a Land Rover Defender of her own….so will be in touch soon.

Fully Charged rolls into season 3 with VW XL1 and electric Land Rover

Sat, Jan 18 2014

It's been some time since last we visited with British actor and electric car proponent Robert Llewellyn and his web-based video series, Fully Charged. The show, now sponsored by Ecotricity, has started rolling out its third season and now has available two episodes featuring a pair of truly unique – and diametrically opposed – vehicles. The first installment starts with some interesting numbers involving the host's Nissan Leaf and its energy consumption over the past 36,000 miles, but soon moves on to the ultra-aero, ultra-expensive Volkswagen XL1. Now, if you've already seen the footage from our own XL1 first drive review, there's not a lot new here except, perhaps, more enthusiasm and a better listen of the two-cylinder diesel kicking in. Still, it's a great reminder of a truly unique vehicle and we enjoyed the segment. The second episode features an electrified Land Rover Defender 110. This is a vehicle you'd more likely see on an African safari than at the local mall. It's not a home-built conversion either, but rather, something the company has put together "for the boffins to create the ideas and see if they work." Boasting a 50-mile range, it's certainly something we like to take on an off-road adventure. Llewellyn is given the chance to do just that, and though the course is somewhat milder than what we might attempt, it does feature a stretch of river and some rough, rutted tracks.

Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones

Thu, Oct 19 2017

While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.

Watch thieves dressed like ninjas hit dealership, steal $583,000 worth of Land Rovers

Fri, Feb 23 2024

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said. Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door. Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole. “Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV. The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said. One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said. Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.” Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects. Six of the nine stolen vehicles have been recovered — four in Chicago, one in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, and one in Wisconsin after the highway crash that led to the 17-year-old's arrest, he said.
