1986 Defender 90 Soft Top X-military on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
This vehicle is in excellent original military condition, and served
with the Regiment that mans the guns at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland. A
soft top with roll cage, and tailgate are fitted. The vehicle also comes with
the original military updated trim on the interior. Conversion to LHD is also
possible here in the USA. VIN: SALLDVAC7AAxxxxxx This British Army Land Rover Defender 90 is exceptional.
It served 26 years and was serviced meticulously. All the panels are like new,
the paint is original Land Rover military green. The interior is the latest
military upgrade to these trucks, seats covered with Outlast (Exmoor trim)
fabric for durability and use in hot and extreme climates. In the back, bench
seats with fully retractable seat belts provide seating for four. The
tailgate has the original digging tools fitted. The engine is the original heavy duty British Army
diesel, with a design that has been tested in an arduous 500hour durability
test. The truck odometer shows just over 22,000 km, confirmed on the
military retirement certificate. The odometer was changed at 10999 km so the total vehicle mileage is likely to be
more. The vehicle is in Virginia Beach with full clear
Virginia title and all customs paperwork appropriately stamped during its import process. The Defender has a VA state inspection, is exempt EPA emissions
testing, and as it is older than 25 years old, exempt from DOT regulations as
an antique.
The truck is totally stock military spec and drives
very well. All seals and the drive train have been inspected, and timing belt
changed. It has Land Rover power assisted steering fitted. This Land Rover Defender 90 served with 105 Regt RA (V) for 26 years, eventually retiring from the British Army at the end of 2012. The regiment commemorated the 61st anniversary of Her Majesty The Queen's accession to the throne at Edinburgh Castle. In Scotland, 7 Feb 2013, gunners from 105 Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers) fired a 21-gun royal salute at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland. Commanding Officer
of 105 Regiment Royal Artillery, Lieutenant Colonel James Cook, said: “The regiment is
honoured to fire the royal salute at Edinburgh Castle to commemorate the
accession of Her Majesty The Queen.
The royal salute
provides a great occasion for the gunners to display their professionalism and
pride in conducting such an honour in Scotland’s capital city.” On Jan-04-14 at 17:32:20 PST, seller added the following information: If you wish to ask any questions abut the vehicle, then please email. |

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
