1983 Land Rover Defender 110 Lhd on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
|
Ebay doesn't recognize the proper VIN so I used an newer model VIN. Actual VIN: SALLDHMV2AA189352 This truck I imported from the Netherlands and has a clear NC title. The plan was to turn it into a full soft top and make it a beach runner but as happens with plans sometime, they changed. I have now gotten ahold of another project that will suck my pockets dry but I am excited to get started on that so unfortunately I can't keep both and so this one is up for sale. When I bought it the Defender shop in Netherlands (yes, it did come from a full on Defender shop and not some shady guy buying and selling junk) the truck was used by the same guy since 2007 and then resold back to the same defender shop that I bought it from who serviced it for him through those years. The car is in an unrestored original condition. It is in very good condition for an unrestored car. The car has little to no rust, the rust that is present is only superficial. The engine was reconditioned a year ago, and it runs great! Very smooth and good on power. Gearbox, brakes, suspension, and power steering all work as they should.The paintwork is isn't the best and depending on what your plan would be could use a paint job. There are some small dings here and there and the right front door has a bigger dent (pic and video show this). All cosmetics can be sorted fairly easily and considering the lack of rust this truck is very solid and has HUGE potential. Bulkhead is gorgeous. Chassis is in great shape and needs no attention. Rear crossmember is also in great shape and needs no attention. Undercarriage has strictly surface rust and can be dialed in with minimal effort. Starts on the first turn of the key every time. The only door bottoms that have some rust are the rear two passenger door bottoms. One of them isn't too bad and the other could use some work. The rest of the doors are totally solid and have zero rust. Tires are in very good shape and have plenty of life. Sunroof seals and doesn't leak. Floor boards are in great shape as well and also need no attention. Overall this truck can be either of two things: A great daily driver with some work in progress to enjoy upon purchase or this would make an incredible build project. Speaking of build project, if you have any interest in purchasing and building this into something special that you would like or dreamed of then mention that in your message to me and we can discuss that option as well. I also have 4 videos posted on youtube of the defender. Ebay won't let me post these links here so you will have to message me for the links. I can't think of anything else at the moment. Keep in mind this truck is 31 years old. It is a Land Rover!! If you are reading this advertisement then you should know and be well versed on what I'm trying to say here. This is a very solid Defender and I am happy to answer any question you may have. Good Luck! |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
