1986 Landrover 90 Defender - Hard Top Turbo Diesel Engine on 2040-cars
Argyle, Texas, United States
|
This is a 1986 vehicle but is listed as a 1980 because Ebay will not recognize the VIN#. The condition of this Defender is good for the year, it is mostly original but has aftermarket rims. It does have two small dings, which if you are thinking of repainting it could be easily beaten out, otherwise I would not touch them. I would add new wheels from a Discovery, you can find them on Craigslist easily enough, I saw rims only for $75 or rims and tires for $300.
I am from the UK where these vehicles are used for every utility and the military, and I have driven these vehicles all my life. This one is a civilian type and is a strong example, the motor is a powerful 300 Turbo Diesel starts first crank no engine smoke on start up or while running, pulls really well. There is no drift in the steering either. The door hinges are all solid, I have tried to capture most of the usual rust points in the pictures. The drivers door has some rust on the bottom trailing edge, which can be repaired or easily replaced if you are repainting it. The cab is straight, its been a working truck so it could be a little cleaner, but there are no stains or odors, seats are not ripped. In the back there are bench seats and Land Rover installed rubber mats, there is a dog guard which I would keep but can be easily taken out. Remember these trucks can be easily reconfigured to be soft tops, and they can go anywhere you want to go, beach, mountains anywhere. This is not a business for me, I just love the vehicles, and I have sold two or three recently here on ebay. The vehicle is at our home in North Dallas, I can help by arranging shipment if needed (at buyers cost), I can pick you up in DFW and get you on your way if you prefer to drive it home. I am pretty confident it would be OK to drive, but you should be the judge of that, there are no leaks or apparent mechanical problems but it is an older vehicle. I had a friend in the UK drive it from Nottingham to Southampton in heavy traffic and there were no problems. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable bidding, I will do my best to answer all as honestly as I can Thanks |

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
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.
