1985 Defender 110 County Station Wagon, RHD, 2.5 liter four cylinder diesel, five speed LT77 gearbox, Marine Blue with black vinyl interior.  This vehicle was used by the National Health Service in the UK as an ambulance support vehicle, and was mainly garage kept and maintained to a strict schedule.  This County Station Wagon is just about completely original:  Original Marine Blue paint is in remarkable condition, still shiny and bright, and the galvanized cappings are in very good condition.   Body panels are just about perfectly straight, and the doors are tight and close correctly.   Window cranks work correctly, and all the glass is in good condition with no cracks.  Chassis and bulkhead are original, and in excellent condition for the year, there is no bulkhead rot around the air vents, hinges, the kick panels are super solid.   Outriggers, rear crossmember, front horns are all very solid, with a lot of the original chassis paint still showing.   Genuine 12 seater, with the 3-3-6 seating position, with the 2 rearmost inward facing jump seats.   Headliner is in very good condition, as are the black vinyl seats.   Dash is also just about perfect, with some very small holes where the CB radio equipment was attached.     Engine is the original 2.5 liter four cylinder diesel.  Fires up first shot with a few seconds of glow plug, and idles correctly, with no excess smoke.    Steering is tight, and does not wander.   The LT77 five speed gearbox works perfectly, with no excessive noise, whine, grinding or jumping out of gear.    Clutch works correctly, with no judder or slip.     Bonnet mounted spare tire will be fitted prior to delivery.    Fitted with Michelin XZL tires with about 40% tread left.   Electrical system works correctly, e.g. gauges, lights, horn, etc.    Original, raised letter rear number plate included in sale.  Original, raised letter front number plate not shown but also included in sale. 

There are not many numbers matching, original condition 110's out there like this, it is a superb example of a well-maintained vehicle that will provide many more years of dependable use.    This is NOT one a re-vinned "Franken-Rover" cobbled together from different Roves, or a newer model with an old VIN plate.   The actual age and originality of this Land Rover cannot be questioned.    You will not have to worry about whether or not an insurance claim will be denied because of a discrepancy in the model year if you get into an accident.   You will not have to worry about US Customs taking your vehicle.   It has a clear Pennsylvania title.    If you have any questions about this vehicle, please ask me before bidding, and please be aware that this is not a restored, galvanized frame, fresh paint, new Puma 2.4 liter Land Rover.  While it has been extremely well maintained and is in amazing condition for its age, it still has all of the hallmarks of a used vehicle:  small rock chips from highway use, minor galvanic corrosion on the aluminum along the lower sills, some rust on the mudflap brackets, side steps, some scratches in the paintwork, some small tears on back of one of the middle seats, and other minor wear that is to be expected.    I received negative feedback from a previous sale of a Land Rover 110, where the buyer expected a restored vehicle for the price of a solid, mechanically and structurally sound Land Rover in ORIGINAL condition that had fair wear and tear.   Be aware that what you are bidding on is NOT NEW, NOT RESTORED, and PLEASE ask questions.   I have provided the best description I can of the vehicle.  I have included my phone number.   Call me and/or message me through EBAY.  I would trust this Land Rover to make a long trip, but if you are used to driving a new Range Rover Sport, it may not be for you.   It is a great 110 at a great price.  Period.  I have imported over 300 Land Rovers over the past 19 years, and this is one of the best unrestored vehicles I have seen.    I have driven it over 500 miles and it has run just the way it should.    I can arrange delivery door to door, or come out and drive it home.    I will be uploading additional photos shortly.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
