Hi and thanks for looking at our listing for this Landrover Defender 90. Unlike many sellers this Landrover is to be collected by the new buyer in USA and comes with all relevant EPA and DOT clearance all ready for the new owner to title. The Landrover is originally from the United Kingdom and it still has 10 months of the UK MOT remaining. For those unfamiliar with the MOT it is a 12 monthly requirement in the UK for all vehicles where they check things such as brakes, lights, steering, chassis, and all round general safety. I have this certificate to hand and will be given to the new keeper which guaranteed you a safe, roadworthy Landrover.

The Vehicle

The Landrover itself is a rare 88" factory County Station Wagon. This Landrover has been fully restored approximately 12-18 months ago. A lot of money was spent on it. The Frame was taken off and the whole rear third of the frame was renewed for a brand new section. New outriggers were also installed and the whole frame was gone over and sealed to provide years of protection. The whole bulkhead has been renewed around 24 months ago along with new A pillars and floor pans. In addition, new front doors were fitted around the same time. The front seats are brand new and have not been sat in. The motor was removed from the Landrover and has been fully rebuilt with new Pistons, valves, head skimming work and a general complete overhaul. The motor has also been freshened up and colour coded to match the exterior. The gearbox was removed, rebuilt and added was a Fairey overdrive system which gives an extra gear for Freeway driving. The fluids in the front and rear diff were drained and diffs were resealed again for extra longevity. A new set of genuine and expensive Landrover wheels were added. The paintwork has been done around 18 months ago and a new galvanised bumper has been fitted. The cost of this work was well above $10,000 and probably closer to $15,000.

The Body

The exterior is finished in a marine blue contrasted with a cream safari roof. These Landrovers as you will know have aluminum panels and as such they generally have a few light impressions as this one does but nothing major. There is also a slight crack to the paint on the rear quarter but nothing major at all. The metal trim around the windows and lights etc has all been painted along with the whole body and engine bay being painted. The exterior looks very good indeed as you would expect but please remember it has been used for the last 12 months as a daily driver so there a few light marks that are just "typical Landrover". The frame is superbly solid, the bulkhead is great and the whole thing is just nice and solid and all the expensive jobs have been taken care of.

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 3 front seats are brand new and have hardly been sat in. Being the Safari station wagon, it has the genuine and factory fitted 4 x fold down rear seats in the back. They are in decent shape but do have so signs of use and a small amount of wear on a couple of them. We have chequer plated the rear out and it has even been painted on the inside to match the outisde. The 2 x front doors were new arounf 18 months ago so no corrosion issues on the ddor frames etc. The rear door is also very good and solid. The rear door card has a few marks but nothing major at all. Again very good indeed. Floor in the front has all been painted as well.

Mechanicals

The 2.25 Diesel engine has been removed and gone through and basically fully rebuilt. It wanted for nothing and the rebuild was done by a Landrover shop so done properly. The motor is great and runs without fault. The gearbox was removed, stripped and rebuilt with the addition of the Fairey Overdrive system which is a $1000 job on its own. The 4WD system was gone through and new uj's were added and the prop was all greased to factory spec. The brakes have been overhauled. The steering box has been replaced and adjusted accordingly. A new radiator was added also. All fluids were drained and renewed and engine fully serviced. As you can imagine it runs like new and the Landrover shop commented on how quiet it ran for a diesel one of this age. This is ready to be driven and enjoyed on a daily basis!

Customs, title and delivery

The vehicle when collected will have passed all DOT and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a lot of Defenders for sale on ebay, the Defender will be to collect in the USA, Hhilton Head South Carolina, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product.
