Description: 

Don't risk your deposit on a vehicle that is based in the UK OR Canada and has not even cleared into this country yet.  A number of these vehicles have recently been refused entry due to their 'grey' status and non-allowed modifications.  Testament to this vehicle (and a number of these before from the same workshop), is that it has flown through the import process and is currently in New Jersey with a full clear New Jersey Title and available to serious offers, ready to be driven aaway today..!. This classified is for a FULLY RESTORED 1984 Land Rover Defender 110 200 TDI station wagon.

This land Rover Defender 110 started its lfe on 07 August 1984 as a Land Rover 110 (County Trim in Russet Brown) 2.5 Petrol unit.  It was sold to and despateched to Townley Cross South Africa and spent most of its life there, benefitting from a very dry climate.  In it's first 8 or so years it covered just 20,000 or so miles before the owner decided to upgrade the engine to a fantastic 200 TDi variant that Land Rover had just started shipping.  We are informed this was in about 1992.  The vehcicle comes complete with it's HERITAGE CERTIFICATE from the "British Motor Industry Heritage Trust" Motor Museam: Certificate Number; 2012/27885

This is an ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE, WITH ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE DASHBOARD.  Be careful - a number of vehicles currently advertised are RHD, meaning they are worth a whole lot less when you try and resell them, and you will have to drive on the wrong side with higher insurance premiums etc...!  Aside from benefitting from a complete rebuild in a professional workshop, the vehicle (as you can see in the photos) also benefits from a BRAND NEW Richards CHASSIS!!!!  Also on this chassis, it has an extra centre floor cross member especially for a Station Wagon 5 Door Model with the engine mounts in the right place for the 200 TDI engine.

The engine itself is a Very Low Mileage Unit -- 58,779 miles at present on the odometer with the engine being replaced at approx 20,000 miles, thats less than 2,000 miles per year since new for the vehicle..!

In short, this is totally Original Station Wagon 5 Door from new/the Land Rover factory.  The restoration has been very sympathetic to the vehicles history, keeping the interior as original as possible (it is in fantastic condition), but reaplcing everything that needed to be replaced and also adding sensible things like a winch..!

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip

Thu, Jul 20 2023

J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.

Is Land Rover developing an all-electric Tesla Model X rival?

Fri, Oct 31 2014

Tesla will soon put its all-electric Model X crossover on sale, and if it's anywhere near as successful as the brand's four-door sedan the Model S, then it'll be a hell of an attention getter for mainstream automakers. Land Rover isn't waiting for proof of the Model X's success, though. According to reports, Land Rover could be preparing an all-electric Range Rover. Likely more crossover than full-size SUV, the new vehicle would probably be far more aerodynamic than current models. But the new EV would still take advantage of LR's high-tech aluminum structure, and could potentially be a close relative of the production Jaguar C-X17, according to Autocar. It seems unlikely that this new Land Rover EV will have the off-road chops of the brand's other models, but that doesn't mean that will be useless on the rough stuff. AC, citing Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern, claims that a height-adjustable air suspension will allow a low, aerodynamic ride height for high-speed travel while it can easily be transitioned to a higher level for off-road duty. As for range, AC believes (and we agree) that a successful effort would need to get as close as possible to the Model S' 265-mile EV range. Autocar is anticipating a price of around 90,000 pounds, equivalent to $144,000, which roughly matches the cost of a UK-market Model S. If the Range Rover EV comes stateside, we'd wager that prices will start under six figures, much like the US-market Tesla.

Tata Motors posts quarterly loss and warns of inflationary costs

Mon, Jan 31 2022

BENGALURU — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) owner Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss on Monday that was bigger than expected and warned of rising inflationary costs. Automakers worldwide have been roiled by chip shortages, supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 restrictions and rising raw material prices after a short-lived recovery towards the end of 2020. "Demand remains strong despite near term concerns ... the semiconductor supply situation is improving gradually whilst inflation worries persist," Tata Motors said in an exchange filing. The company expects chip shortages at JLR to continue through 2022 as suppliers gradually ramp up production, and is also engaging directly with chip manufacturers to secure supply longer-term supplies for the Range Rover maker, it said. Tata Motors' consolidated net loss came in at 15.16 billion rupees ($203.23 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared to a profit of 29.06 billion rupees a year earlier, when an easing of pandemic-related restrictions led to a pick-up in sales. However, the recovery was short-lived as acute semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions delayed production, and Tata Motors slipped back to losses. For the reported quarter, analysts had expected the Mumbai-based company to report a loss of 3.30 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data. Tata Motors' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin, a key measure of profitability, was 10.2% for the quarter, above estimates of 9.3%. Total revenue from operations for the quarter fell 4.5% to 722.29 billion rupees, below estimates of 775.93 billion rupees. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
