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.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

With its established premium automotive industry, Slovakia is an attractive possible development opportunity.

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus

Tue, Oct 27 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.
