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.

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.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more

Mon, Apr 1 2019

There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.

Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
