This is an all original (except paint) 1986 Land Rover 127, Latterly known as a Defender 130. Originally a UK authorities vehicle, it was decommissioned at a young age and stored for many years. Imported to New Zealand in the late 90's it was then stored again until 2007 when it was; re-commissioned, painted and used by the Bungy Jump Company. I bought it recently from them with 98,000 original miles. I replaced the tyres and fitted a custom made canvas rear canopy. 

The truck has no rust other than a little surface in the front foot well as pictured. It has a 3.5 V8 and 5 speed transmission that has been very well maintained. Starts, stops, runs and drives excellently. Paint is good but not perfect and the color was changed from light blue to light grey (not a major but can be seen on the interior floor. The original build sheet is still attached to the seat box as is its official documentation (when new) from the British Department of Transport, so no issues with proving this trucks age or originality.
I sent a Land Rover 110 to Seattle last year and the new owners are very pleased with it. If you need a reference I will introduce you.
The price is US$23,500 and includes shipping to Long Beach CA. It will be the purchaser responsibility to clear customs, register and pay import fees (2% plus port charges). I pay port charges from NZ and the actual shipping to Long Beach in a 20' container.

Jaguar Land Rover reveals EV concepts, details green strategy

Fri, Sep 11 2015

While it offers diesel models and even a couple hybrids, Jaguar Land Rover isn't quite as fleshed out on alternative powertrains as its luxurious German rivals. That should change pretty soon. JLR revealed three concepts at the CENEX Low Carbon Vehicle event in Millbrook, England, today. The Concept_e "research demonstrators" all use a new electric drive module, an EV system that the Indian-owned, British-based outfit claims will double the power and torque of today' electric motors. JLR says these modular EDMs can be paired with any of the company's engines or transmissions to create either a mild hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a pure EV. So yeah, this is kind of a big deal. Arguably the most exciting offering is a one-of-a-kind research vehicle. Riding on JLR's aluminium aluminum architecture, it ties together two electric motors – an 85-kW unit with a single-speed trans on the front axle and a 145-kW rear motor that's been mated to a two-speed transmission – with a 70-kWh li-ion battery that's mounted in the underbody of the car. There's also the Concept_e MHEV. This is a Range Rover Evoque that's been fitted with a mild hybrid system. Just a refresher, but a mild hybrid is very different than what's found in either a Chevrolet Volt or Toyota Prius, as it uses the electric motor and battery pack to simply assist the internal combustion engine, rather than for an electric driving mode. Reflecting that use, this particular Evoque uses a 15-kilowatt electric motor and a 48-volt, lithium-ion battery pack alongside a 90-metric-horsepower diesel-powered prototype. Finally, we have a Range Rover Sport-based plug-in hybrid. This brute uses a 300-metric-horsepower prototype gas engine and an eight-speed automatic alongside a 150-kilowatt electric motor. Energy is stored in a trunk-mounted, 320-volt, li-ion battery back. Partially funded by the British government, the EDMs are the result of a 16.3-million-pound ($25-million) research-and-development program. They're built in house by JLR, but were developed alongside 12 partners. While these concepts are exciting, don't get your hopes up to see a plug-in Jaguar XF or an all-electric Discovery Sport in your local dealer any time soon. "This is a long-term Jaguar Land Rover research project exploring all aspects of future hybrid and battery electric vehicle technology," JLR research and design boss Dr. Wolfgang Epple said in the attached statement.
