1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Station Wagon 7-seats Very Original Condition on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
|
Here we have a very original 1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Station Wagon. This is a right-hand drive model recently imported from the UK. eBay does not recognize the UK VIN and lists the vehicle as a 1980 model, however, it is a 1987 and I have the UK registration document to verify this. It is a genuine Defender 90 station wagon with seating for seven. It has the
3.5L V8 which is quite rare for this UK model (most have the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel
or petrol.) It starts, runs, drives and stops perfectly and has good power and
torque from the V8. Odometer has 111,000 recorded miles. Just prior to export the vehicle passed the UK Ministry of
Transport (MOT) test, which is required every year in the UK. This test is much
more stringent than the inspections we have here in the US and the Land Rover
passed no problem. The MOT test also advises on issues that may arise with the
vehicle in the near future, however the Land Rover passed clear with no
advisories and is therefore a safe and sound vehicle and certified to drive on
UK roads. I will provide the MOT certificate to the new buyer. I have all the import paperwork from US Customs and the vehicle
is ready to be titled and registered in the US. Check with your state on
requirements for titling and registering and I will ensure you have the
required paperwork. I can title the vehicle in Texas if required. Exterior The paint and exterior decals all appear to be original. The
vehicle is very clean and paint is shiny. Land Rover panels are aluminum and
over the years can tend to oxidize. Where this occurs it causes the paint to
bubble up and this has happened in a few places on the bodywork. This is purely
cosmetic and as you can see from the pictures the vehicle still looks good but
close up the oxidation is noticeable. Interior The interior is again very original, clean and tidy for 27
years old. It has the original Land Rover fitted rubber floor mats. Nothing bad
to say about the interior apart from the headliner panel is sagging slightly in
the rear. Mechanical Then engine and 5-speed transmission perform very well. It
starts runs and idles well. It shifts through the gears well with no funny
noises. Clutch is strong and smooth. Brakes are also strong and smooth. Vehicle
runs very well with no issues. The chassis has had some weld repairs over the
years and has had a new rear cross-member fitted recently. Vehicle is located in Spring, TX, just north of Houston.
Viewing welcome. I will help with shipping where I can or work with your
designated shipper. I require a $500 deposit within 24hrs of eBay sale and full
payment with 7 days by bank transfer. Collection within 14 days. |

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.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
