This is a 1986 Land Rover 110; otherwise known as a Defender 110. It has an upgraded power train with a 300 Tdi
(Turbo Diesel) engine and power steering. It has four side doors and one rear door and seats nine people. It is
"continental european" meaning it was built as a left hand drive and hasn't been converted. Since completion the
vehicle has been driven approximately 600 miles, but the original odometer has 242,000 kilometers on it. The VIN
(SALLDHMC8BA279904) matches the number on the VIN plate in the engine bay.
It pains me a great deal to part with this vehicle. I have really enjoyed spending the last year restoring this
vehicle after bringing it back with me from Europe. This vehicle has had only one previous owner and spent nearly
all of its 30 years in Croatia. In July 2015, It was legally
imported and has a free and clear Virginia title with no liens. The frame had, and still has, no rust except for
the rear crossmember (which bolts on) and was replaced. The excellent condition of the undercarriage is likely a
result of the temperate climate of the Mediterranean/Adriatic region of Croatia. All of the restoration and
maintenance was personally conducted by me except for the professional paint and sand blasting/powder coating of
the frame.

Own a piece of history! The Land Rover Defender line is now shut down. As of February 2016, Land Rover stopped
making this classic vehicle. The Defender is only going to increase in value. Since the Series vehicles have been
produced after WWII, nearly two-thirds of all Land Rover Series/Defenders are still on the road; a testament to
their design and durability and the love of their owners to keep them going. The frame and bulkhead are steel, but
the body is aluminum, which contributes to its longevity due to its inherent defense against corrosion.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
