Land Rover Defender 110 , 1986, Tithonus, Left Hand Drive Diesel on 2040-cars
Pompano Beach, Florida, United States
|
This is a nice example of a X-MOD Defender 110. It is a left hand drive, 2.5 na diesel with 5 speed trans. It has its original chassis , and engine configuration , is 27 years old and was imported legally and properly. It has only 48k kilometers,which is 30,256 miles and has just begun its life. It was first put in to service on 5/08/1986.. Ebay does not recognize these older vins and I had to put 1980 as the model year in the listing. It is actually a 1986. was imported legally and will come with import paperwork and a clean, clear Florida title. This example was part of the "Tithonus Project". This was a program to extend the service life of the service's Defenders. Only the best ones were selected and then totally refurbished in 2007-2008 at massive expense. In addtion to refurbishing the mechanicals and giving them a new NATO Green Respray, they received lots of upgrades. New premium Exmoor "Outlast" front seats, insulated matting system, heavy duty "Wolf" rear bench seats, full OEM Safety Devices Roll Cages, hard tops, "Wolf " heavy Duty Wheels, and new Michelin XZL Tires. These items make this Defender far superior in safety and comfort that other X-MOD Defenders and a fantastic value. The roll cage alone would cost approx. $5k to have installed and could save your life in the event of a rollover. This example is also referred to as a "FFR", which stands for , fitted for radio. These radio equipped vehicles are also in far better shape than the standard, "General Service" units. They led a fairly easy life. Please do not confuse this Tithonus with the normal worn out and beat up X-Mod Defenders that are offered for what seems like a bargain price. There is a reason they are cheap. This truck is also equipped with 2 alternators, a 12 volt and 24 volt . The second one can be easily removed if desired. This truck is ready to go anywhere. Being an X-Military vehicle, it is a very simple , easy to maintain , spartan truck. There are no ammenities what so ever! No a/c, no power anything, no stereo,etc,etc. The diesel is Land Rover's legendary 2.5 litre ,normally aspirated, mechanically injected , super simple and reliable engine. It can run on bio diesel,etc. It runs,drives,and stops as it should, and is ready for a whole new life here in civilian hands. This vehicle has great history and great bones. It is nice inside out . It also lends itself to all kinds of addditions,mods, etc. There is a whole world of parts and accessories available. You can convert it to a soft top, add power steering, change the color, tires,wheels, add a winch, a snorkel, offroad lights, suspension lifts, etc. We have a full service shop that specializes in Land Rovers and can perform almost any work you desire. The hard top is easily removeable for open air cruising. I have included a photo of another one of my Tithonus 110s with the top removed to show how cool they look that way. Vehicle is sold as is, and inspections are welcome, by appoinment. We offer courtesy airport pick up and can arrange nationwide , professional shipping at dealer rates. This vehicle is not for eveyone, but will not dissapoint the buyer that is looking for such a vehicle. Questions are also welcome. Land Rovers are my passion and I have been selling them exclusively for fifteen years and have sold over eighteen hundred of them. My cell is 954-816-8885. Regards,Ken. |

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was 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.
Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
