  This is my personal D90 I have been restoring. It is being built from the frame up and is about 90% done. Will be a great truck for someone willing to put in that last bit of work.

Chassis:
  It has a galvanized chassis(D90 300 Tdi spec), 2" Terrafirma suspension and steering damper, 24 spline axles with disc brakes, power brakes, power steering, genuine Boost alloy wheels(5), 255/85R16E(33.3x10"10 Ply) BFG MT KM2's(5), 300 Tdi 4 cylinder direct injected inter-cooled and turbocharged diesel engine(up to 28mpg in a D90), R380 56A suffix J 5 speed manual transmission, LT230 2 speed transfer case with factory cross drilled input shaft.
Body:
  It has a D90 Station Wagon body; it's solid, only a few spots of surface corrosion noted in the pics; it has and inexpensive flat black paint job, I like it, but if you're looking for a factory paint job it will need to be painted; full frame front doors with wind up windows, push button handles, D90 door panels; full frame rear door with heated rear window, washer and wiper, spare mount, but no rear door panel; both solid and folding front windshield hinges; alloy roof and sides with lockable sliding glass windows; full LeSalle molded fiber glass headliner front and rear with section for stereo and speakers; silver grill and facia; front bucket seats; center console/cubby box/arm rest and a UK center front seat(either can be fitted); all front seats need upholstery; 4 rear jump seats; lap and shoulder belts for the front bucket seats, lap belts for all the rest; factory insulation under the hood, on the firewall, and under the transmission tunnel;
What I know is needed:
  Finish bolting the body together; finish hooking up the lights/wiring; repair section of exhaust and install it; either the clutch master or slave cylinder needs to be replaced; I was also going to replace the head gasket, manifold gasket, and timing belt just to be safe;
  I have almost 200 pictures of the full restoration process as well, so let me know if you'd like to see more, or if you'd like to come see it. It has basically everything, just "some assembly required." 
  It is sold As-Is, with no warranty. It is also listed for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
