Lhd -1985 Land Rover 90 (defender) on 2040-cars
Encinitas, California, United States
|
The actual VIN on this car is SALLDHMF8JA916659. Because this car was imported to the US, its VIN is not recognized by Ebay. The Land Rover 90/110 Defender is the worlds most iconic and
well-respected off road passenger vehicles. It has been in use – in one form or
another – since the late 1940’s and has changed very little over that time. It
is timeless and classless: rich and poor, young and old, all love the classic
Defender look and feel. They are said to be the world most sustainable vehicle
having been on the road for so long with astonishing parts interchangeability throughout
the generations. Most examples of early Defenders that have been imported to
the US are Right Hand Drive which can become very inconvenient on US roads and
are in rough condition from tough lives in Europe and other wet/salted environments.
Despite being RHD worn-down rust-buckets, sellers are still asking ridiculously
high prices. Ours is LHD, very clean, and priced reasonably. We believe it shouldn’t
cost over $50k to own a stock unrestored diesel Land Rover. This 1985 Land Rover 90 (Defender) is in amazing condition
and took a great deal of effort to find and import properly. It was purchased
by the owner of our dealership as a personal vehicle. It was carefully selected
by our broker in Europe and was thoughtfully inspected prior to purchasing and
inspection. It was loaded in its own private 20ft container and shipped to Long
Beach. It passed US Customs inspections with flying colors and all necessary
duty/fees were paid for. It has since been cleaned-up and enjoyed on the
weekends for trips down to the beach. Our 1985 Defender is without the typical cancer and rust you
see on these cars. It – of course – has a little rust, but far from what most
have. The frame, cross members, outriggers, etc. are all rust-free. The body
has no large holes, punctures, cancer bubbling, or other nastiness. There are remnants
of some rust repair between the floor boards and the kick panels, but it has
been remedied and shouldn’t be a concern. The bulkhead is clean as is the heater-box,
seat-box, rear-tub, etc. The seats have been recently reupholstered in black vinyl
and include the OE center third front seat. The rear seats are new (black
vinyl) as is the Land Rover rubber rear cargo mat. The floors in the front are
protected by factory Land Rover floor mats/boots as is the center hump and
shifter/transfer case. It comes with newer euro-style Defender rims and tires with approximately
90% tread left (including an unused 5th spare). The front axle has
the original disc-brakes and the rear has been upgraded from drums to discs. The
spare is mounted on the rear safari-door, it is set up for another tire on the hood,
and there is a fire extinguisher mounted behind the rear bulk head. It also
comes with an updated KBX Grill and headlight bezels. On the roof, the previous
owner mounted a very sturdy steel expedition rack system with a rotating and
folding rear ladder. The rear bumper has an integrated tow ball, trailer
brakes, and flip-down factory step. The truck is powered by a 2.5 liter Turbo Diesel motor with
right over 117k miles on it. It runs great, starts right up – even on cold days
– and only blows a little smoke on cold-start. It gets great mileage and should
be able to get even better mileage with a little more tuning. The 5-speed
shifts just fine with no noticeable clutch problems/slipping. The center
differential has both high and low range as well as the ability to lock. It
functions well with no problems observed. This Land Rover 90 comes with everything that came with it from
Europe (fun little things like a Dutch license plate frame) as well as all of
the import documentation and sales information from Europe. Though it is not
currently titled in CA, title/registration will be issued with the sale of the car. There are simply too many details to mention everything in
one posting. If you are interested in this vehicle, we urge you to call and ask
us as many questions as you want. We know these cars inside and out and are
happy to field and level of questions. We are able to arrange sales and shipping worldwide and can provide shipping quotes as needed. All shipping/transport will be paid for by the buyer. If you are local or eager to make the trek to view this Land
Rover in person, please contact us to schedule a viewing. We are available by
appointment only. Please contact TerraFirma Motors, LLC directly at

This Ford F-150 might have a Land Rover turbodiesel V6
Thu, Dec 17 2015Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."

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:
Editors’ Picks October 2022 | Electric trucks and some excellent SUVs
Wed, Nov 2 2022This month sees a bevy of totally new or totally redesigned cars gain Editors’ Pick status. Important EVs like the F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV quickly jump into the list, and they do so with authority, as all our editors love these trucks. The Range Rover is always a superb experience, and this generation proves to be no different. Plus, the new generation of Kia Sportage continues to surprise and impress. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in October that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Hummer EV The Four-Wheel-Steer system lets the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup m View 17 Photos Quick take: The Hummer amazes as an electric supertruck with its wild acceleration, incredible off-road capability, luxuriousness and epic utility. It's far from a "green" eco-friendly vehicle, but that's not the point of this technological powerhouse. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX Pros: Stupid quick, tons of tech, off-road capability in spades Cons: Not efficient, annoying in tight spaces, price From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I don't think I've driven a more ridiculous vehicle this year, but that's sort of the point with the Hummer. There's a great argument against this sort of EV in that it doesn't live up to being an efficient and planet-friendly vehicle, but hey, that's not the point. The Hummer EV is a supertruck and wild technological masterpiece for off-roading in the same way that a mid-engine supercar is to track performance. It's not meant to be the EV everybody drives to work and back (mostly because few can afford it), but it serves as a line in the sand of what can be done with electric off-road trucks. This pickup rules, and if you can afford one, you're going to love it." Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder — "This Hummer revival is a showcase of technology and capability on the part of GM, making it an absolute blast to drive and a joy to use.
