I am saying it is a 1980 since eBay would not recognize a British VIN
number, but it is a 1987.
This is a 1987 Authentic Land Rover Defender D110 County Station Wagon,
doesn't get any more British than a White Landie D110, compare to one of the 550 imported in 1993 as NAS. All British (MG,
Rover, Coopers) cars leak, rust and smoke and this one is in pretty good
shape given its age. It has rust, it smokes a bit at start up, it stinks and
it leaks a wee little bit (power steering suspected), but not as bad as other European cars I have had.
It leaks rain on the left/passenger side, deep winter floor mats catch it and empty it
out after rain event. So I bought it on UK eBay. I drove my wife's German
specifications D110 to England and "traded" for this one. We call him the "Governor". Drove it back to
Germany, put new tires and rims on it and begged previous owner to get some
used parts for it. He will ship a replacement transmission for it soon and
comes with the sale price, should current tranny fail you have a spare. It
started out green according to its V5, title documents; previous owner was
in London before guy/dealer I bought from. Shipped it privately to
Baltimore, had it trailered to Virginia where it is awaiting customs and
port documents to title and get tags for it in Virginia. It has an Ex-Tec
diamond plate roof rack on it from my wife's 2002 Defender worth about
$1,500. I got a lot invested in getting this car out of UK then Germany and
shipped to USA, so please take into consideration all of the hassle of getting
it to USA, worth about $3,500 in shipping and transportation costs alone.
Land Rovers are like Ford F150 to Brits, mostly farmers own them, and some
don't even get plates for them and just drive them on their farms. They have
mild winters so salt on roads is not very common. Farmers are great
mechanics; they have to be in order to keep their machines working. But it's
hard to find a D110 which hasn't had a Discovery turbo diesel dropped in it
which can be imported to USA as older than 25 year old antique. If you own a
business like surf shop or auto detailing or kitchen cabinet installer and
want to draw attention to your business this is the truck for you. It is a
man cave on wheels. Not recommended for little women, it is a big vehicle
and steering it is like a semi truck. Rides great on the interstates though, not bouncey like a D90 or Jeep. Tires
will have to be professionally balanced since tire shop did not have a
machine with large center for the bigger rims. So do some browsing of 1993
Land Rover Defender D110 NAS which they only made 550 of that one year. All
White except Ralph Lauren's black, 50 went to Canada. 500 left. If you can
get a low mileage one in this shape it will cost you about $30,000. If you
had that NAS professionally restored it would cost you $100,000 and a 3 year
wait. If you find a low mileage NAS in great shape expect to pay $80,000 to $150,000.
This is here,in Virginia being cleaned up and will be driven to New Jersey shortly, and ready to be sold (once shipping company coughs
up the documents). I would paint it but leave that to you the buyer to start
customizing it to your taste. White, Black, Orange or Yellow would really amke it stand out.

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.
