1987 Defender 110 Lhd 2.5 Diesel (complete Rebuild) on 2040-cars
Willowbrook, Illinois, United States
1987 Defender 110 (registered, titled, and insured in Illinois)
2.5L Diesel with LT77 5 speed transmission Legal This vehicle was legally imported last year. All numbers matching, so no issues when it went through customs. Solid, clear documentation so no issues now or in future. I specifically state that the vehicle is currently registered, titled, and insured b/c there are many Defenders for sale that do not meet this criteria and cause headaches, costs, etc for buyers. Restoration This vehicle was a full tear down and rebuild less than 7500 miles ago. I'll let the pictures tell the story. Not a "paint over" job to hide rust or overly waxed frame to hide age. Vehicle was fully stripped and redone. This includes the drivetrain as well. Interior This 110 was made to accommodate larger people. The parking brake was moved to the passenger side to give more leg room and width. The seats are larger and more comfortable than standard Defender seats or aftermarket replacements like Exmoor Trim. The seat boxes are unique for the front and rear also for storage and keeping big people in mind. All trim in the interior is new and geared to outdoor adventures. The rear benches in the back were removed. Custom storage was created and the battery box is in the rear as well. Exterior Truck is orange with new checker plating. There's a full roof rack with the truck as well. I currently have it off to fit the truck in my garage, but will put on when sold. Offroad lights, snorkle, bumper, winch, etc etc Winch has aux cable hookup on passenger side as seen in older competition style setups. |

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As 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 Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The 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.
Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
