1986 Land Rover Defender 90


Straight and original 1986 Land Rover 90. Runs and drives great. Imported from the UK earlier this year I have been using it as my daily driver here in New Jersey. This vehicle is RHD. 5 speed manual transmission with permanent 4 wheel drive, it has coil spring suspension. Cruises comfortably at 65mph. Clean New Jersey Title.

Although certainly not being a 'Show Queen' this Land Rover looks exactly as a straight and original 27 Year Old Defender should. The aluminium body shows some surface corrosion, dents and scratches, and over the years it has been repainted in a couple of places. The van body has had a window installed in the LHS, possibly when the vehicle was new. The interior is in good condition and everything works. There are 3 seats across the front and 2 inwards facing bench seats in the rear. The vehicle is standard, as it left the factory having never had any modifications.

The chassis is original and in good condition.

Mechanically this Land Rover is in good condition and has been well maintained. The 2.5 litre, 4 cylinder petrol engine runs smoothly and pulls strongly. The 5 speed manual gearbox shifts smoothly and is quiet. The transfer box is in good condition with both Low Range, High Range and Differential locking working well. The front and rear differentials make no noise. Within the last 3 years the Land Rover has had a new alternator, weber carburetor, radiator and thermostat. 

The suspension and steering is in good condition. The ball joints and bushings appear to have always been replaced when they have worn and currently everything is in good working order. The steering tracks straight and true. Although the steering isn't power assisted it has 'finger tip' lightness once up and running. The Land Rover has Land Rover Discovery wheels fitted, the tyres are in reasonable condition, including the spare mounted on the rear door.

All the electrics work. New LHD headlamps were fitted earlier this year. The battery is strong, always starting first time despite being left regularly for 2 weeks or more in the airport car park. 

Note: UK Vin was not recognised by ebay. Vin number shown is a random Range Rover Classic Vin.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
