Aledo, Texas, United States

Up for auction is a very nice 1986 RARE ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE Diesel Land Drover Defender 90.  This particular expedition ready example is in very nice condition without any of the rust problems commonly found on the Land Rover Defenders. The bulkhead, floors and frame are all in excellent condition. The economical 2.5 N/A Diesel engine starts great and with the 5spd manual transmission, drives very nicely. The clutch has just been replaced within the last 1000 miles by the local Land Rover shop in Fort Worth Texas. The interior has been up fitted with the excellent Exmoor trimmed seats, head liner and rear overhead storage. In the back area, custom fitted removable aluminum lockable storage bins have been added to securely store any valuable items you may have with you.

On the exterior, no expense was spared in preparing this vehicle for expedition readiness.  Quality stainless steel Land Armour roof rack, ladder and front bumper have been added. Security cages have been fitted around the rear windows, a high quality Mantec rear tire carrier is mounted which also holds a high lift jack.  Solid steel rocker protectors are found on both sides as well as a snorkel for high water crossings or dusty dessert air..  Lightweight aluminum wheels have been fitted with excellent BFG all terrain tires that have approximately 90% tread remaining.  Included in the sale is a brand new, never installed canvas soft top and all necessary hardware to mount it.                                                                                               


This little Land Rover is an absolute pleasure to drive. The suspension is solid yet supple and everything works as it should. Being an old land rover, it does drip a minor amount of oil from time to time. It is over 25 years old and may have some minor imperfections and is thus being sold as is. I encourage any who are seriously interested to come and have a look in person.

Note - There is excellent air circulation via the vents and windows, however it does not have air conditioning.  The vehicle steers easily, however it does not have power steering.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus

Tue, Oct 27 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.
