Imported from Italy just last year so she spent her whole life in a dry and salt-free climate. Clean ownership Please note that this is a 1988 Land Rover...entering the correct age was not possible on the eBay site. Chassis is excellent. Krown rust proofed pre-winter. Body is excellent..with the odd little 'ding'. Paint is not new but is a very fitting look to a truck such as this. 2.5 litre turbo diesel is in excellent shape. Engine was replaced several years ago and was re-furbished several months ago with new timing belt, new interjectors, new lift pump, new injector pump, valves re-done, etc, etc. Mud centre console added to accommodate stereo, gauges and switches. (waterproof marine stereo connected to iPod...full iPod functionality is on the stereo itself...brilliant unit and easy to navigate while on the road) All new this year. New speakers. Added a new VDO turbo gauge and VDO voltmeter Several extra extra switches for any future add-ons. New antenna for radio Heavy duty steering guard added this year. Driving lights added this year. New rear ball joint and fulcrum. New heavy duty shocks and steering damper New pitman arm New rod ends Fresh brake job New parking brake shoes New Goodyear Duratrac tires....very beefy..can tackle anything. Replaced any questionable wiring New cubby box between the seats. New seat belts. New Snorkel/raised air intake Heavy duty dog/cargo guard between driving compartment and cargo area. Removable if desired. New heavy duty/sound dampening front mats...the good ones. New shifter knobs. New hinges on driver door. well..the list goes on. All of the work was done by a talented and experienced Land Rover mechanic NOT simply by a Land Rover enthusiast. The windscreen has a small crack in the upper right corner but I have a new windscreen that I will include. Happy to include a new paint job in the colour of your choice for an added $2000. This Land Rover 90 is in fabulous condition as any test drive will show. I put the work into it so that it would be a reliable daily driver for decades to come. The only reason for selling is that I have decided to get a bigger one...to accommodate the family. Look around at all of the other 90s on the market and then come and look at this one. This is not a project and it is priced well below what other trucks in this condition are being listed for. You are welcome to chat with my mechanic if you would like his take on the vehicle. This truck is ready to drive for many years to come. Recent survey available to interested buyers. I apologize for the poor quality photos..shot on my iPhone. Please note the VIN# on the add is incorrect as eBay does not recognize the European VIN that the truck carries. The title however is clean so no problem with transfer of ownership. |

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - 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 may buy Silverstone racetrack for new HQ
Thu, Dec 3 2015Jaguar Land Rover might add another chapter to its venerable motorsports legacy by purchasing the revered UK racetrack Silverstone to use as its new company headquarters. JLR could reportedly offer 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at current rates) to buy the circuit, according to Automotive News Europe, which cites several British media sources. The British automaker would then invest the equivalent of $78 million to turn the historic track into a celebration of the brand, including a museum, experience center, and hotel. The company would also construct space for its marketing team and engineers, Automotive News Europe reports. Motorsports would still continue there, too, which means the course's Formula One legacy is safe. Neither JLR nor the British Racing Drivers' Club, which leases the track, have confirmed the rumors. The BRDC only suggested that it received several confidential offers to purchase the circuit. Silverstone has a motorsports history that goes back to the late 1940s and is often the home to the Formula One British Grand Prix. The track's organizers have a long-term deal to continue hosting the F1 race, too. Today, the course also features major events from MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In November, Jaguar released a video that celebrated some of its legacy at Silverstone by bringing the modern XJR and Le Mans-winning XJ-R9 LM at the track. If the company's purchase happens, you can expect to see a lot more Jags and probably some Land Rovers lapping the course. Related Video:
