1982 Classic Green Land Rover Series Iii Diesel 4 Wheel Drive Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Haydenville, Massachusetts, United States
|
VIN number was created in US because vehicle was not originally made for US market. It is a clear title in Massachusetts with a VIN number SALLBAAH1AA159694.
This baby is a classic utility vehicle. I bought it a year ago and would love to keep it but cannot afford to keep two vehicles. It was bought and imported from England at that time with just 79,000 original miles on it. The owner in the states just drove it for a month or so and got updates but then sold it because the friend he had in mind for it got very ill. I bought it on ebay and had a great buying experience. It has new high end Michelin tires and rims (just one year old), a 6-year battery put in by my local foreign car mechanic just two months ago, and it has been maintained well and routinely. Brakes are great; all parts are working well. Also a year ago, a full transmission service was done, and new hoses were put in place as well as a new fan belt. I have maintained it with oil changes and the use of good quality diesel fuel. The Landy starts well in all kinds of weather. This winter in New England was very cold, and I had no problems. 4 wheel drive is easy and works very effectively. This is not a gussied-up Defender. Most of the parts are original and utilitarian. The front bench seat was replaced by bucket seats before I bought it. The seats are very comfortable and there is great console space between them. The rear has one original bench on one side and the metal part on the other side can take another bench if you like. The spare tire is full size and never used. It is a right-drive vehicle which is perfectly legal in every state. The previous owner placed the left outside mirror a bit lower so the driver can see the middle line on the road easily. I find it easy to handle. It is a looker, and people are often curious and happy to see it on the road. It is up to date on inspection and license and is ready to go! Once a sale is made, I require a cashier's check of $1,000 non-refundable to hold the vehicle. The remainder may be paid at time of pick up. Buyer arranges shipping. Seller will be flexible and available for shipping times and days. |

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
