Land Rover Defender 110 , 1986, Tithonus, Left Hand Drive Diesel on 2040-cars
Pompano Beach, Florida, United States
This is a nice example of a X-MOD Defender 110. It is a left hand drive, 2.5 na diesel with 5 speed trans. It has its original chassis , and engine configuration , is 27 years old and was imported legally and properly. It has only 48k kilometers,which is 30,256 miles and has just begun its life. It was first put in to service on 5/08/1986.. Ebay does not recognize these older vins and I had to put 1980 as the model year in the listing. It is actually a 1986. was imported legally and will come with import paperwork and a clean, clear Florida title. This example was part of the "Tithonus Project". This was a program to extend the service life of the service's Defenders. Only the best ones were selected and then totally refurbished in 2007-2008 at massive expense. In addtion to refurbishing the mechanicals and giving them a new NATO Green Respray, they received lots of upgrades. New premium Exmoor "Outlast" front seats, insulated matting system, heavy duty "Wolf" rear bench seats, full OEM Safety Devices Roll Cages, hard tops, "Wolf " heavy Duty Wheels, and new Michelin XZL Tires. These items make this Defender far superior in safety and comfort that other X-MOD Defenders and a fantastic value. The roll cage alone would cost approx. $5k to have installed and could save your life in the event of a rollover. This example is also referred to as a "FFR", which stands for , fitted for radio. These radio equipped vehicles are also in far better shape than the standard, "General Service" units. They led a fairly easy life. Please do not confuse this Tithonus with the normal worn out and beat up X-Mod Defenders that are offered for what seems like a bargain price. There is a reason they are cheap. This truck is also equipped with 2 alternators, a 12 volt and 24 volt . The second one can be easily removed if desired. This truck is ready to go anywhere. Being an X-Military vehicle, it is a very simple , easy to maintain , spartan truck. There are no ammenities what so ever! No a/c, no power anything, no stereo,etc,etc. The diesel is Land Rover's legendary 2.5 litre ,normally aspirated, mechanically injected , super simple and reliable engine. It can run on bio diesel,etc. It runs,drives,and stops as it should, and is ready for a whole new life here in civilian hands. This vehicle has great history and great bones. It is nice inside out . It also lends itself to all kinds of addditions,mods, etc. There is a whole world of parts and accessories available. You can convert it to a soft top, add power steering, change the color, tires,wheels, add a winch, a snorkel, offroad lights, suspension lifts, etc. We have a full service shop that specializes in Land Rovers and can perform almost any work you desire. The hard top is easily removeable for open air cruising. I have included a photo of another one of my Tithonus 110s with the top removed to show how cool they look that way. Vehicle is sold as is, and inspections are welcome, by appoinment. We offer courtesy airport pick up and can arrange nationwide , professional shipping at dealer rates. This vehicle is not for eveyone, but will not dissapoint the buyer that is looking for such a vehicle. Questions are also welcome. Land Rovers are my passion and I have been selling them exclusively for fifteen years and have sold over eighteen hundred of them. My cell is 954-816-8885. Regards,Ken. |

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
