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. |

Jaguar Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower
Wed, Sep 27 2017Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
Thieves stole $3.7 million worth of Jaguar Land Rover engines
Fri, Feb 3 2017This past Tuesday was not a good one for Jaguar Land Rover. According to British news source Birmingham Mail, just over $3.7 million worth of engines were stolen from the company's factory in Solihull, England. Reportedly, the thieves drove up to the facility in a stolen semi-truck, found a trailer full of engines, hooked it up, and drove off. The thieves did this twice in one night, with the same truck, and got the first trailer in just six minutes. Perhaps more shocking is that Birmingham Mail reports this is the second time a theft of this type has occurred at the facility. The previous time happened in almost exactly the same way, but the engines taken were valued at just over $1.2 million, and five people were convicted of the crime. Currently, local police are looking for the latest suspects and the engines. The trailers were found, but were empty. We got in touch with a Jaguar representative who provided us the company's official statement: "We can confirm that we are working closely with West Midlands Police to investigate the theft of engines from the Solihull manufacturing plant. A reward is on offer to anyone who has information which leads to the successful recovery of these engines. It would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment whilst this investigation is ongoing." This was the only statement he would provide, and didn't provide answers as to what engines were stolen and if there would be any impact on manufacturing or vehicle deliveries. But if you're in the UK, and you've got a tip, let the cops know.
