FACTORY ORIGINAL
1983 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 COUNTY STATIONWAGON 3.5 V8 For sale: a stunningly beautiful classic original
Defender 110 named The Brown Betty!
The Story Build in
October 1983, this is one of the first 110’s ever made! Among land Rover connoisseurs
this is regarded as a real collector’s item. The combination of a 10 seats
“County” most luxury finished with a 3.5 V8 engine and a 4 speed gearbox with
Fairey overdrive is very hard to find. Even harder to find are the ones that
are totally original like this one and so well maintained with only 91.000
miles on the clock!
The service history that comes with the Defender confirms that the mileage is correct. All the receipts of recent services are also available. They show what has been done to it and how well it has been maintained by Land Rover specialists. During the biggest part of her life she was owned by an English landlord who took very good care of her. People who are familiar with classic Defenders will be astonished by this one. Although it has driven some miles on the beautiful British roads, it will have many many more in it. Under normal usage and proper maintenance, those V8 blocks can do over 300.000 miles because they aren’t build for racing but for endurance. If you prefer diesel, like the Land Rover 300 TDI, this Defender is a perfect basis to convert, now or in the future. But please enjoy this V8 first. It isn’t as quick as a Ferrari but it is such a nice cruiser!
The Engine The V8 petrol
engine has a twin carb system. It starts within a second and runs as smooth as
silk. It never misses a beat and has his characteristic V8 roar. For a cold
start there is a choke available behind the steering wheel. The engine is
really easy to maintain because the engine bay is very big and parts are widely
available and come cheap. The engine is very well serviced and maintenance has
just been done.
The Transmission The gearbox is the original 4 speed LT95 with a Fairey overdrive. This is a very strong and reliable gearbox. It is known for its liability, robustness and good ratio’s. One of the best Land Rover ever build. It has 4 “normal” speeds and the extra overdrive. The overdrive has his own stick and is regarded as the 5th gear. You could choose to leave it engaged the whole time but it’s better to use it as an economical extra gear. Both
gearbox and overdrive work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever.
Selecting gears goes smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4
wheel drive. High/low gear and differential lock are present and work
perfectly. The gear knob is below and next to the gearbox shift stick.
The Body The
aluminum body is in very good condition. Especially if you consider that it has
still it’s original paint! Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t
new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 30 year old vehicle, it is very
very beautiful! The firewall and foot wells are totally clean and rust free. The
doors are totally straight, close and open perfectly. There is some rust at the
bottoms, which isn’t visible from the outside and isn’t bad. Something that is
very typical for a Defender. Now water that enters the inside of the doors
through the windows can easily flow out. The windows work as they should. The locks all
work and on the same key. The
Defender has a height adjustable tow bar with electrics. Also a robust winch
bumper with A-bar is mounted with big Wipac lights. They can be switched on and
off by a switch in the dash.
The Chassis The complete
chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this
car. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents
rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years. Over that layer, there
is black over coating. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN
is: SALLDHMV1AA198497. Encoded this means:
The Interior The
inside of the vehicle is sound proofed and has the original carpets or rubber
mats. The headlining is in perfect condition with almost no spots or other
marks of age, which is very exceptional. The seats are brown/beige,
leather/cloth and in very good condition. There are 3 seats on the front row, 3
on the middle row and 2 benches in the rear that will fit 4 adults or 6
children. Seatbelts are mounted.
The Rest Recently
replaced:
The
Defender has got 5 Michelin all terrain tires which are almost like new. Even the spare wheel, which is mounted on a
swing away carrier to take the load of the back door, is in very good condition
Service It has
just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer
box and so one have either been refreshed or filled up. It has also got 8 new
spark plugs. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition. I
have owned many Defenders and driven even more of them, but I never felt one
that is driving and steering so well. No play at all in the steering wheel,
which is rather strange for a classic Defender. Because
it’s a 1983 vehicle, it isn’t new and has his traces of age. But being totally
original it is in an outstanding condition.
Customs, title and delivery The Defender has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included. Delivery anywhere in the US or Canada is possible. For information on delivery call Stryder on +1 4062702028

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
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.
