Hi guys…

I 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.

The Story

Build in October 1983, this is one of the first 110’s ever made! Among land Rover connoisseurs this is regarded as a real collector’s item. The combination of a 9 seats “County” most luxury finished with a 3.5 V8 engine and a 4 speed gearbox with Fairey overdrive is very hard to find. Even harder to find are the ones that are totally original like this one and so well maintained with only 91.000 miles on the clock!

 

The service history that comes with the Defender confirms that the mileage is correct. All the receipts of recent services are also available. They show what has been done to it and how well it has been maintained by Land Rover specialists. During the biggest part of her life she was owned by an English landlord who took very good care of her. People who are familiar with classic Defenders will be astonished by this one. Although it has driven some miles on the beautiful British roads, it will have many many more in it. Under normal usage and proper maintenance, those V8 blocks can do over 300.000 miles because they aren’t build for racing but for endurance. If you prefer diesel, like the Land Rover 300 TDI, this Defender is a perfect basis to convert, now or in the future. But please enjoy this V8 first. It isn’t as quick as a Ferrari but it is such a nice cruiser!

 

The Engine

The V8 petrol engine has a twin carb system. It starts within a second and runs as smooth as silk. It never misses a beat and has his characteristic V8 roar. For a cold start there is a choke available behind the steering wheel. The engine is really easy to maintain because the engine bay is very big and parts are widely available and come cheap. The engine is very well serviced and maintenance has just been done.

 

The Transmission

The gearbox is the original 4 speed LT95 with a Fairey overdrive. This is a very strong and reliable gearbox. It is known for its liability, robustness and good ratio’s. One of the best Land Rover ever build. It has 4 “normal” speeds and the extra overdrive. The overdrive has his own stick and is regarded as the 5th gear. You could choose to leave it engaged the whole time but it’s better to use it as an economical extra gear. 

Both gearbox and overdrive 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 shift stick.

 

The Body

The aluminum body is in very good condition. Especially if you consider that it has still it’s original paint! Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 30 year old vehicle, it is very very beautiful! The firewall and foot wells are totally clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight, close and open perfectly. There is some rust at the bottoms, which isn’t visible from the outside and isn’t bad. Something that is very typical for a Defender. Now water that enters the inside of the doors through the windows can easily flow out. The windows work as they should. The locks all work and on the same key.

The Defender has a height adjustable tow bar with electrics. Also a robust winch bumper with A-bar is mounted with big Wipac lights. They can be switched on and off by a switch in the dash.

 

The Chassis

The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this car. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years. Over that layer, there is black over coating. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN is: SALLDHMV1AA198497. Encoded this means:

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is sound proofed and has the original carpets or rubber mats. The headlining is in perfect condition with almost no spots or other marks of age, which is very exceptional. The seats are brown/beige, leather/cloth and in very good condition. There are 3 seats on the front row, 3 on the middle row and 2 benches in the rear that will fit 4 adults or 6 children. Seatbelts are mounted.

 

The Rest

Recently replaced:

  • Shocks and suspension rear
  • Fuel tank
  • Lighting all round
  • Brakes and brake pipes
  • Rear exhaust with silencer
  • Seatbelts

The Defender has got 5 Michelin all terrain tires which are almost like new. Even the spare wheel, which is mounted on a swing away carrier to take the load of the back door, is in very good condition

 

Service

It has just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box and so one have either been refreshed or filled up. It has also got 8 new spark plugs. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition. I have owned many Defenders and driven even more of them, but I never felt one that is driving and steering so well. No play at all in the steering wheel, which is rather strange for a classic Defender.

Trying to be as honest as possible, I need to mention that the bottoms of the doors have some rust, which isn’t bad but I have to mention it. 
Because it’s a 1983 vehicle, it isn’t new and has his traces of age. But being totally original it is in an outstanding condition.

 

Customs, title and delivery

The vehicle passed all DOT 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, New Jersey, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled.

Our Story

We started our Land Rover journey with a dream, driving a classic Defender from cape to cape. That means from the North-cape in Norway to Cape town, South Africa. Therefore we refurbished a 1986 3 door Land Rover Defender 110, and modified her to a camper van. After that, she was mechanically and optically sound to make this incredible journey. By the time our project finished, we were addicted… So we started our own business to buy, refurbish and sell classic Defenders.

This is a big adventure which makes lots of fun and gives even more happiness! Especially our happy and enthusiastic customers who still give us updates on their Land Rover experience. This makes us even more motivated to do our utmost best to deliver a high quality end product.

We don’t do every Defender that crosses our path.  We only do the ones we love.  As a Defender is not just another car, used to travel from A to B. Every Defender has its own character and emotional experience. And when you work with passion on something that you love, the only outcome possible is positive.

After 30 very successful projects we have harvested a huge amount of knowledge. Together with a team of very enthusiastic and experienced land rover mechanics we are able to deliver a beautiful and high quality Defender.

We can’t guarantee that you will have a trouble free experience with these classic beauties given their age, that would be unreal, but we can guarantee that we checked, repaired/renewed and checked again all parts!

The only question that has left... 

Are you Landventurous enough to drive your Dreamfender?

Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay

Wed, Sep 30 2020

ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue  our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.   Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.

Jaguar Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK

Sun, Aug 16 2020

Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment. Related Video: Earnings/Financials Government/Legal Jaguar Land Rover
