1984 Land Rover 90 County Station Waggon on 2040-cars

Totally original 1984 Land Rover 90, or defender as later known. Imported into the US around mid part of last year for personal use, but circumstances have changed and I need to sell. Vehicle shows 161K and I would think this be pretty accurate. Doesn't run rich, in fact runs lovely. Choke does need adjustment, probably needs a freshen up of fluids etc. as has been sitting a while now, but started lovely with a little ez-start and ran fine after a few minutes of playing with the accelerator pedal. Motor runs really, really sweet, no top end noises, has had points and condenser, rotor arm / cap recently, no apparent chug of smoke on start up, she runs just fine and whilst wont propel the car to any record breaking speeds, it will get to where you need to go, and probably to most places others wont....Will probably cruise at 65-70 on a highway. The 5 speed transmission works fine, the clutch operates well and the power steering seems to function fine too. Brakes seems to stop well. has discs on the front and drums on the rear. I haven't checked the diff lock, but their pretty much bullet proof, so I don't doubt it works fine. I can have it checked if needed.

Both foot wells have been repaired on both sides, the bulkhead looks very solid otherwise, the drivers side does have a little external corrosion showing to appear, I don't know if these are original or if they have been repaired. there is some hand painted touched up area's under the hood, I don't know if this was some previous rust repair, the rear door has some corrosion at the frame welds. Can be sorted pretty easily, as I would think the rear wiper could.

The chassis is solid, has had some welding near a front outrigger, well done and very solid, all in all a solid frame. There is a little ally corrosion in a few of the panels, door bottoms etc, and the door frames need repair, kits available for a few bucks, but for the year, she's really clean. I'll list as many images as I can on ebay and will send any others I have by separate email to anyone interested. I have tried to shot all god and bad parts as I have seen them. I haven't checked all levels, the underside doesn't reveal any great patches of oil that look fresh, I will have the levels checked before it goes anywhere.

Modifications I can see are front suspension striker plate, electric fan, carpet replaced at some stage. bits I can see that need to be done, door bottoms need repair, rear was wipe not working, radio antenna not connected, or radio not working. think that's it. plus the bits of rust that are inherent to a 30 years old British classic truck, nothing major, mostly just superficial bits and bobs that depending on the climate may never raise there head again.

This is one of the early 90's, which had the galvanized door and tub caps, the panels and frame were the most solid of the models, made shortly after the Series 3 end of production. Whilst the motor isn't the most powerful, it does the job and I think may well have been rebuilt at some stage, that said she would really benefit from say a 200 tdi conversion, which was part of my original plan.

The vehicle is currently located in Long Beach CA. is not titled as yet, I had simply parked her up when she came in and I had storage on the west coast, so that's where I trucked it to. the original port of entry was NY around June 2013. The vehicle cannot be registered in the state of CA as it wont met emissions. currently just parked there in private storage. You would check the need to check the requirements in your home state to register a foreign imported vehicle that has ben approved entry by the EPA as was manufactured over 25 years ago.

I would encourage inspection of the car. Can be seen any day with prior notice in the Long Beach CA area. Once won, deposit of $250.00 to be sent by pay pal, balance to be settled and vehicle collected within 7 days. I can assist with a shipper. this would all need to  arranged by buyer and at buyers expense.

I do have a full roof cage, powder coated black, no rear ladder, also a set of 4 boost alloys with pretty good all weather tires, these  can be negotiated after sale if or interest.

Sold as seen. no warranty included or implied.
