1986 Landrover 90 Defender - Hard Top Turbo Diesel Engine on 2040-cars
Argyle, Texas, United States
|
This is a 1986 vehicle but is listed as a 1980 because Ebay will not recognize the VIN#. The condition of this Defender is good for the year, it is mostly original but has aftermarket rims. It does have two small dings, which if you are thinking of repainting it could be easily beaten out, otherwise I would not touch them. I would add new wheels from a Discovery, you can find them on Craigslist easily enough, I saw rims only for $75 or rims and tires for $300.
I am from the UK where these vehicles are used for every utility and the military, and I have driven these vehicles all my life. This one is a civilian type and is a strong example, the motor is a powerful 300 Turbo Diesel starts first crank no engine smoke on start up or while running, pulls really well. There is no drift in the steering either. The door hinges are all solid, I have tried to capture most of the usual rust points in the pictures. The drivers door has some rust on the bottom trailing edge, which can be repaired or easily replaced if you are repainting it. The cab is straight, its been a working truck so it could be a little cleaner, but there are no stains or odors, seats are not ripped. In the back there are bench seats and Land Rover installed rubber mats, there is a dog guard which I would keep but can be easily taken out. Remember these trucks can be easily reconfigured to be soft tops, and they can go anywhere you want to go, beach, mountains anywhere. This is not a business for me, I just love the vehicles, and I have sold two or three recently here on ebay. The vehicle is at our home in North Dallas, I can help by arranging shipment if needed (at buyers cost), I can pick you up in DFW and get you on your way if you prefer to drive it home. I am pretty confident it would be OK to drive, but you should be the judge of that, there are no leaks or apparent mechanical problems but it is an older vehicle. I had a friend in the UK drive it from Nottingham to Southampton in heavy traffic and there were no problems. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable bidding, I will do my best to answer all as honestly as I can Thanks |

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
