First, the car is 1988 NOT 1980, I had to do this because VIN number didn't go through on Ebay.

 

This Land Rover 110 is all original and imported last April.  It passed Customs without any problem and now has a clear Michigan title.

This Land Rover spent most of its life in Saudi Arabia hence there is no rust on the car. Bulkhead, A- , B- and C- pillar and foot wells are all original and not rusty. Also the undersides of the doors are in perfect condition The frame has never been welded.

It has an original factory installed, working air conditioner.

The mileage is 84.454 km's (approx. 50.000 miles). I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the odometer but given the condition of the car, I can imagine it would be correct.

 

Mechanical

  • factory installed air conditioner, refilled and repaired in Nov 2011 for around $ 1,300
  • carburaters overhauled earlier this year by a Land Rover specialist
  • new plugs,  coil, cables etc. in January of this year
  • I have an invoice stating the gearbox and clutch cylinders have been overhauled in 2008 
  • engine runs very nice, always starts on the first try
  • power steering works well, loosing a drop of oil though
  • second gear sometimes is difficult to engage
  • 5 speed transmission
  • horn isn't working (most likely I will fix that one of these days)
  • BRAND new Michelin tires and rims (5x)

Body

  • No rust !!!
  • original paint !!
  • nice paint but a little faded on the wheel wells
  • dent in the left quarter panel
  • occasional small dents throughout the body. Nothing serious but if you expect a car in perfect, A1 condition this is not the car for you
  • I have a roofrack with it. This is homemade and I didn't like it so took it off. The buyer can have it if he wants
  • Where the roofrack was attached to the roof there are some paint scratches and also where it attached to the hinges of the windsheeld there is corrosion on the hinges.

Interior

  • generally in good condition
  • new seat covers on front seat and rear bench seat
  • right now there is only one side rear bench installed, the second one comes with it
  • carpet looks nice but is homemade.
  • drivers seat has tear in the cover
  • radio and speakers are installed but not working

Frame

  • never welded
  • body coated as shown in most pictures
  • I have pictures from before the body coat, so you can see there is no rust.

Extras:

  • as said, the buyer can have the roofrack (and ladder) if he wants but don't expect a fancy one.
  • ABS air compressor installed in the back of the car. (and working)
  • airbags for rear springs (not currently installed)
  • radio and 4 speakers installed but not working
  • cubybox slightly damaged
  • Stainless steel fuel tank
  • spare wheel carrier

If you are looking for a nice, reliable 110, this could be the one for you. 

You are more than welcome to inspect and drive it. I live 30 minutes away form Grand Rapids, MI (GRR) airport and can pick you up from there.

I maintain the right to end this auction early as I have also listed it elsewhere.

Jaguar Land Rover reveals Bond cars [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Frankfurt Motor Show coverage to bring you something far cooler. Jaguar Land Rover has officially introduced the cars it's lending to the latest James Bond film, Spectre. There's not much that wasn't previously covered as part JLR's February 2015 release, although there are some comments from the stars, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos. At the very forefront of the British brand's charge is the Jaguar C-X75, the stillborn concept that set hearts aflutter with its handsome looks and its innovative turbine-powered drivetrain. According to Jaguar Land Rover, the orange supercar will be piloted by baddie Dave Bautista as part of an enormous chase scene throughout Rome. Meanwhile, Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris in her second Bond flick, will pilot the blacked-out Defender. For those that remember Skyfall, Miss Moneypenny spent most of the film's pre-title sequence tearing through Istanbul, Turkey behind the wheel of a silver Defender. Joining the Defender is the most powerful vehicle Land Rover has ever produced. The new Range Rover Sport SVR will show up wearing a menacing black paint job and featuring some extra lighting on both its roof and in its bumper. It's not clear who will be driving the 550-horsepower SVR, but in the photos released by JLR, it's shown trading places with a pair of Defenders as they rampage through the Austrian snow. Check out the photos of the vehicles below. You'll find both studio stuff and some set photos. There's also a full press release from JLR, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos. Show full PR text Jaguar and Land Rover stunt vehicles Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Defender make international debut in Frankfurt, Germany ?

Jaguar Land Rover says half its models will be hybrids or all-electric by 2020

Tue, Nov 22 2016

Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has ever been mistaken for big-time green-car brands, but their parent company is trying to change that. Jaguar Land Rover looks to have as many as half of its models be of the hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or battery-electric variety by 2020, CEO Ralf Speth said at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week. Speth made the announcement while showing off the I-Pace concept compact crossover. The green-car expansion would mark a natural extension of Jaguar Land Rover's decision last year to double the headcount in its advanced-engineering department. As for the five-seat I-Pace, that model will be Jaguar Land Rover's first production electric vehicle when it starts sales in 2018. The car will have a 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that will deliver a single-charge range of about 220 miles. Boasting more than 400 horsepower, the car will also be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about four seconds. What's also notable is that Jaguar says the model has been designed to be an electric vehicle from the ground up, and hasn't been converted from the platform of an existing model. Of course, Jaguar late last year said it would enter a team in the FIA Formula E electric-vehicle open-wheel racing circuit, so the British badge has made recent noise about upping its green-car quotient. As for the I-Pace, the automaker hasn't revealed pricing on the model, but it's safe to say that it will be quite high. Check out a three-minute video of Speth's presentation here. Related Video:

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.
