1988 LANDROVER 90 2.5 TURBO DIESEL PICKUP IN GREEN

26 Years old - Matching Nnumbers On Frame and Brake Booster - 100% US Eligible

You are bidding on a 1988 Landrover 90 pickup finished in green. The Landrover is completely standard and is as it would have been when it left the factory 26 years ago. It has covered 88,000 miles which is a low mileage for one of this age. The truck has a valid UK MOT until the end of October 2014 so you can be assured the frame is good along with brakes, suspension, steering, electrics etc as these all have to be tested for an MOT to be passed. The engine is a 2.5 turbo diesel and this is coupled to a 5 speed manual transmisson.

The exterior is in great condition for the age of the truck. To find a Landrover pickup in such good condition is rare indeed as they are usually used and abused by farmers as work vehicles etc. To find a good one that is in standard form is near impossible but here one is for sale so dont miss it. The most important thing about this is that it is structually very solid indeed. The frame is in excellent shape, the bulkhead is extremely solid and floor pans are very good indeed. Even the door frames are in good shape considering they are original. The paintwork is in very good shape indeed and the painwork has a good shine to it. The panels are all very straight and there no dings anywhere which is again rare for one of these Landrovers. The bulkhead is superbly solid as you can see from the close up images I have taken.

The interior is in good condition. The 3 seats are finished in a vinyl/leather type material. They are in good shape with just some minor wear to the drivers seat base. There are a good set of waterproof seat covers fitted also. The dashboard is all nice and complete and all switches etc work as they ought to.

The Landrover starts well from warm or from cold and the turbo diesel engine runs very well indeed. The engine revs freely and the turbo spools up nicely as it ought to. The gearbox is very good and all the gears select both up and down the gearbox as they ought to with no nasty noises etc. The clutch is very good and operates as it ought to. The brakes, steering, suspension are all good as they ought to be. The water temperature sits nicely in the middle of the gauge and the heater produces nice warm air although the blower only works on first speed. There are no warning lights and all is as it should be.To see the driving video follow this link below

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
