Here we have a very original 1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Station Wagon. This is a right-hand drive model recently imported from the UK. eBay does not recognize the UK VIN and lists the vehicle as a 1980 model, however, it is a 1987 and I have the UK registration document to verify this.

It is a genuine Defender 90 station wagon with seating for seven. It has the 3.5L V8 which is quite rare for this UK model (most have the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel or petrol.) It starts, runs, drives and stops perfectly and has good power and torque from the V8. Odometer has 111,000 recorded miles.

Just prior to export the vehicle passed the UK Ministry of Transport (MOT) test, which is required every year in the UK. This test is much more stringent than the inspections we have here in the US and the Land Rover passed no problem. The MOT test also advises on issues that may arise with the vehicle in the near future, however the Land Rover passed clear with no advisories and is therefore a safe and sound vehicle and certified to drive on UK roads. I will provide the MOT certificate to the new buyer.

I have all the import paperwork from US Customs and the vehicle is ready to be titled and registered in the US. Check with your state on requirements for titling and registering and I will ensure you have the required paperwork. I can title the vehicle in Texas if required.

Exterior

The paint and exterior decals all appear to be original. The vehicle is very clean and paint is shiny. Land Rover panels are aluminum and over the years can tend to oxidize. Where this occurs it causes the paint to bubble up and this has happened in a few places on the bodywork. This is purely cosmetic and as you can see from the pictures the vehicle still looks good but close up the oxidation is noticeable.

Interior

The interior is again very original, clean and tidy for 27 years old. It has the original Land Rover fitted rubber floor mats. Nothing bad to say about the interior apart from the headliner panel is sagging slightly in the rear.

Mechanical

Then engine and 5-speed transmission perform very well. It starts runs and idles well. It shifts through the gears well with no funny noises. Clutch is strong and smooth. Brakes are also strong and smooth. Vehicle runs very well with no issues. The chassis has had some weld repairs over the years and has had a new rear cross-member fitted recently.

Vehicle is located in Spring, TX, just north of Houston. Viewing welcome.

I will help with shipping where I can or work with your designated shipper.

I require a $500 deposit within 24hrs of eBay sale and full payment with 7 days by bank transfer. Collection within 14 days.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
