1993 NAS Land Rover Defender 110 10/500

 

I bought this truck to restore but I have a 90 and another 110 so I don’t see getting to it anytime soon.

 

First the good:

 

It is a two owner truck with roughly 61,000 miles.  It has a clean carfax and was well maintained by its owners from a mechanical standpoint.  It drives shockingly well and the engine runs perfectly.  When I got it there was a weird noise that I traced to low power steering fluid.  I filled it up and the noise is gone.  I think one of the hoses is leaking.  The inside is super clean and original.  Seats, carpet, cubby box, original radio are all in good shape.  The headliner of course is sagging but that is normal.  Tires are fairly new as are the oil lines.  They are the original style though so if you want to drive the truck as is I would advice getting stainless ones.  As is the truck is a fine driver.  Better than most.

 

Now for the bad.  The truck has some rust issues but they look worse than they are.  A new bulkhead is needed for sure.  I have a source for one with the closed vents so that all the original AC/Heat functionality can be kept.  If you would rather upgrade, Rovers North sells the new style and you could put a td5 dash in.  Personally I would rather keep it stock. 

 

The sills are rusted.  These trucks came with the bottom door seals on the sills instead of the doors.  Dirt and moisture get trapped there and they rust.  It is an easy fix.  You remove the seals, and the outer layer of metal add paint, and move the seals to the bottom of the doors and the problem is fixed. 

 

Now for the doors, 

Front driver’s door has a small hole at the bottom that is easily fixed.

Rear driver’s door also has a hole.  This hole is about an inch in size and the worst damage to the doors. 

 

The other doors just have surface rust on the bottoms.  Easily cleaned up when you move seals. 

 

The frame is shockingly solid.  I have gone over it with a hammer and it is good.  It has scale but if someone wire wheeled it and painted it, it would be great.  One outrigger does have a small hole shown in a picture but easily fixed and the only frame issue.  Rear cross member is completely solid.

 

Truck also has a few dents and scrapes but nothing major.

 

Otherwise this is a great solid truck.  Not many out there with clear histories and relatively low miles.  For the right owner the sills and bulkhead are easy fixes.  I have done the sills on another NAS 110 and it was a do it yourself job.  See ECR website for what is required. 

 

If the buyer needs help sourcing a bulkhead I can get them the original style.  The other option is to just fix this one.  More photos here https://www.dropbox.com/photos/c/bQnuJLyooWemGVr

 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.  Thanks

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.

Average new-vehicle transaction price hits a whopping new peak in December

Wed, Jan 11 2023

Elevated prices for products and higher borrowing rates led to record high transaction prices for new vehicles in December, with the average cost in the U.S. rising to a record $49,507, according to data from Kelley Blue Book released today. The report notes that ATPs — average transaction prices — have climbed above suggested retail prices — MSRPs — for more than a year. Sales volumes were up in December on a year-over-year basis by more than 5%, a situation Kelley attributed to improved supply. Overall sales for 2022, however, were off 8% year over year. “The transaction data from December clearly indicates overall prices showed no signs of coming down as we headed into year-end,” said Rebecca Rydzewski, research manager of economic and industry insights for Cox Automotive. “Luxury prices fell slightly in December, but non-luxury transaction prices were up. Truck sales were particularly strong last month, and with many trucks selling for more than $60,000, a new record was all but inevitable.” Industry analysts claim the most obvious headwinds in the new car market are generated by higher interest rates, forced by the Federal Reserve's rate hikes intended to tame inflation, and by generally limited inventory. A recent report from J.D. Power showed that the average monthly payment for a new vehicle loan in December was $718, up $47 from a year ago. But 16% of consumers in December took out loans with monthly payments of over $1,000. Consumers think vehicles, and electric vehicles especially, are way too expensive. Fortunately, manufacturersÂ’ incentives, all but extinct in the past two years, are returning, especially in the electric-vehicle and luxury market, the Kelley data suggest. Plus, "With the new tax credits on the way, electric vehicle ATPs will drop lower for qualifying vehicles,” Rydzewski said. Non-luxury brands, such as Honda and Kia, showed particularly strong performance in December, with the average price paid at $45,578 — a record high and an increase of $994 month over month. Meanwhile, the average luxury buyer paid $66,660 for a new vehicle last month. Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover showed the most price strength in the luxury market, transacting between 2.6% to 6.5% over sticker price. But luxury brands Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, and Volvo showed the least price strength with some discounting in effect, selling 1% or more below MSRP in December, according to the survey.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers

Fri, Jun 24 2016

It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
