FACTORY ORIGINAL
1983 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 COUNTY STATIONWAGON 3.5 V8 For sale: a stunningly beautiful classic original
Defender 110 named The Brown Betty!
The Story Build in
October 1983, this is one of the first 110’s ever made! Among land Rover connoisseurs
this is regarded as a real collector’s item. The combination of a 10 seats
“County” most luxury finished with a 3.5 V8 engine and a 4 speed gearbox with
Fairey overdrive is very hard to find. Even harder to find are the ones that
are totally original like this one and so well maintained with only 91.000
miles on the clock!
The service history that comes with the Defender confirms that the mileage is correct. All the receipts of recent services are also available. They show what has been done to it and how well it has been maintained by Land Rover specialists. During the biggest part of her life she was owned by an English landlord who took very good care of her. People who are familiar with classic Defenders will be astonished by this one. Although it has driven some miles on the beautiful British roads, it will have many many more in it. Under normal usage and proper maintenance, those V8 blocks can do over 300.000 miles because they aren’t build for racing but for endurance. If you prefer diesel, like the Land Rover 300 TDI, this Defender is a perfect basis to convert, now or in the future. But please enjoy this V8 first. It isn’t as quick as a Ferrari but it is such a nice cruiser!
The Engine The V8 petrol
engine has a twin carb system. It starts within a second and runs as smooth as
silk. It never misses a beat and has his characteristic V8 roar. For a cold
start there is a choke available behind the steering wheel. The engine is
really easy to maintain because the engine bay is very big and parts are widely
available and come cheap. The engine is very well serviced and maintenance has
just been done.
The Transmission The gearbox is the original 4 speed LT95 with a Fairey overdrive. This is a very strong and reliable gearbox. It is known for its liability, robustness and good ratio’s. One of the best Land Rover ever build. It has 4 “normal” speeds and the extra overdrive. The overdrive has his own stick and is regarded as the 5th gear. You could choose to leave it engaged the whole time but it’s better to use it as an economical extra gear. Both
gearbox and overdrive work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever.
Selecting gears goes smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4
wheel drive. High/low gear and differential lock are present and work
perfectly. The gear knob is below and next to the gearbox shift stick.
The Body The
aluminum body is in very good condition. Especially if you consider that it has
still it’s original paint! Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t
new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 30 year old vehicle, it is very
very beautiful! The firewall and foot wells are totally clean and rust free. The
doors are totally straight, close and open perfectly. There is some rust at the
bottoms, which isn’t visible from the outside and isn’t bad. Something that is
very typical for a Defender. Now water that enters the inside of the doors
through the windows can easily flow out. The windows work as they should. The locks all
work and on the same key. The
Defender has a height adjustable tow bar with electrics. Also a robust winch
bumper with A-bar is mounted with big Wipac lights. They can be switched on and
off by a switch in the dash.
The Chassis The complete
chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this
car. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents
rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years. Over that layer, there
is black over coating. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN
is: SALLDHMV1AA198497. Encoded this means:
The Interior The
inside of the vehicle is sound proofed and has the original carpets or rubber
mats. The headlining is in perfect condition with almost no spots or other
marks of age, which is very exceptional. The seats are brown/beige,
leather/cloth and in very good condition. There are 3 seats on the front row, 3
on the middle row and 2 benches in the rear that will fit 4 adults or 6
children. Seatbelts are mounted.
The Rest Recently
replaced:
The
Defender has got 5 Michelin all terrain tires which are almost like new. Even the spare wheel, which is mounted on a
swing away carrier to take the load of the back door, is in very good condition
Service It has
just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer
box and so one have either been refreshed or filled up. It has also got 8 new
spark plugs. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition. I
have owned many Defenders and driven even more of them, but I never felt one
that is driving and steering so well. No play at all in the steering wheel,
which is rather strange for a classic Defender. Because
it’s a 1983 vehicle, it isn’t new and has his traces of age. But being totally
original it is in an outstanding condition.
Customs, title and delivery The Defender has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included. Delivery anywhere in the US or Canada is possible. For information on delivery call Stryder on +1 4062702028

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar 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.
Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021
Thu, Feb 18 2021J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year. "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
