1988 LANDROVER DEFENDER 110 4C STATION WAGON IN SHIRE BLUE

This 110 is currently in the UK. I am however a registered exporter with contacts in the USA with TWIC cards so I can arrange hassle free shipping if required. To the East Coast allow 2000 usd for shipping and 2500 usd to the West Coast. Alternatively feel free to arrange your own shipping. The Land rover is completely standard as it left the factory in 1988 including original engine and original frame with matching numbers on the brake booster and chassis itself. I have pictured these below so take a look through. I 100 % guarantee this will pass through UK customs with no issues whatsoever. If you need to ask any more questions get in touch. There is a video added at the bottom of the listing of me driving the truck so you can see how well it drives.

 

The landrover is in good condition both inside and out. The exterior is finished in Shire blue. It is nice and straight and has a few light touch ins here and there as Landrovers of this age have. It is in unrestored condition but is still very presentable indeed. The wheels are even standard and are in good shape. Bulkhead is good and solid as is the Frame and the Landrover still has a UK MOT test which checks vehicles structures etc here in the UK.

 

Interior is in a black leather which is in good shape with no major wear etc. The inside is actually very tidy. There are 2 seats in the front, 3 in the middle row and bench seats in the rear for another 6 or so. The stereo is even original and seems to power up. All the switches etc work as they ought to. The rear door frames have a little corrosion which is the norm.

 

The motor starts first turn of the key and runs great as you can see in the video. The 5 speed transmission is all good with nice smooth shifts. The clutch is in good order also. Brakes, steering and suspension  are all very good also. All in all mechanically very good indeed. No work needed and all you need to do is turn the key.

 

In conclusion an great 110 Landrover ready for the US market.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
