1985 Land Rover Defender 110 Diesel

EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE

Up for sale is a very nice example of a Land Rover 110 pickup! This is a LEFT HAND DRIVE 2.5 Diesel pickup with a 5spd standard transmission. This little Land Rover runs excellent, starts on the coldest days without issue and will run the Interstate at 65-70 mph all day long while averaging approximately 30 mpg! The roof top is also easily removed for that convertible top feeling. The clutch operates as it should, the transmission shifts smoothly. The truck drives smoothly down the road with no excessive play in the steering and tracks nice and straight. The 16 inch classic steel wheels are shod with tires in good condition. The front two tires have approximately 60% tread remaining and the rear tires (different brand from the front tires) have approximately 70% tread remaining. The truck had been painted 7-10 years ago and is holding up well. Of course it is a 29 year old vehicle and as such it does have some minor blemishes and doors dings, etc... The bulkhead appears to be in solid condition as does the rest of the truck. The frame underneath is also very solid from front to back. The truck has the stronger Salisbury rear axle and has center differential lock. The front brakes have just been completely rebuilt with new pads, rotors and calipers. The brake pedal feels a little soft, however it stops well with no leaks or issues. The parking brake, lights, horn, heater, windshield wipers and gauges all work well with the exception of the oil temperature gauge. The truck currently has 92,532 original miles or approximately 150,000 kilometers. This Defender started life in the British Military somewhere oversees on light airport duty where left hand drive vehicles were utilized. It was then imported to Canada approximately 10 years ago by a Canadian Land Rover enthusiast. We imported the vehicle into Texas last year and it is currently tagged with a clear blue title in Texas and insured as a classic. I would welcome any interested parties to view the vehicle in person. Would make an excellent hunting, farm, classic cruiser or expedition truck! May be able to assist with shipping..

Sold as is, really great find!

Going high-tech, the 4x4 way

Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
