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 CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
2016 Jaguar F-Type R at Monticello | AutoblogVR
Tue, Sep 27 2016This week we indulged in a bit of fun. We took one of our favorite sports cars, the 2016 Jaguar F-Type to Monticello Motor Club north of New York. Senior Editor Greg Migliore selected the 550-horsepower R variant and pushed this Jag to the limit at one of North America's prettiest tracks. He reveled in the supercharged V8's power and sound as he embraced Monticello's curves and long straightaways. Meanwhile, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski had a similar experience. Kind of. He lapped Monticello in the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR and then went off-roading at a challenging course nearby. It's the best of both worlds. He gets to soak in the blown V8 – but also gets to splatter a little mud. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play.
