Totally original 1984 Land Rover 90, or defender as later known. Imported into the US around mid part of last year for personal use, but circumstances have changed and I need to sell. Vehicle shows 161K and I would think this be pretty accurate. Doesn't run rich, in fact runs lovely. Choke does need adjustment, probably needs a freshen up of fluids etc. as has been sitting a while now, but started lovely with a little ez-start and ran fine after a few minutes of playing with the accelerator pedal. Motor runs really, really sweet, no top end noises, has had points and condenser, rotor arm / cap recently, no apparent chug of smoke on start up, she runs just fine and whilst wont propel the car to any record breaking speeds, it will get to where you need to go, and probably to most places others wont....Will probably cruise at 65-70 on a highway. The 5 speed transmission works fine, the clutch operates well and the power steering seems to function fine too. Brakes seems to stop well. has discs on the front and drums on the rear. I haven't checked the diff lock, but their pretty much bullet proof, so I don't doubt it works fine. I can have it checked if needed.

 

Both foot wells have been repaired on both sides, the bulkhead looks very solid otherwise, the drivers side does have a little external corrosion showing to appear, I don't know if these are original or if they have been repaired. there is some hand painted touched up area's under the hood, I don't know if this was some previous rust repair, the rear door has some corrosion at the frame welds. Can be sorted pretty easily, as I would think the rear wiper could.

The chassis is solid, has had some welding near a front outrigger, well done and very solid, all in all a solid frame. There is a little ally corrosion in a few of the panels, door bottoms etc, and the door frames need repair, kits available for a few bucks, but for the year, she's really clean. I'll list as many images as I can on ebay and will send any others I have by separate email to anyone interested. I have tried to shot all god and bad parts as I have seen them. I haven't checked all levels, the underside doesn't reveal any great patches of oil that look fresh, I will have the levels checked before it goes anywhere.

Modifications I can see are front suspension striker plate, electric fan, carpet replaced at some stage. bits I can see that need to be done, door bottoms need repair, rear was wipe not working, radio antenna not connected, or radio not working. think that's it. plus the bits of rust that are inherent to a 30 years old British classic truck, nothing major, mostly just superficial bits and bobs that depending on the climate may never raise there head again.

This is one of the early 90's, which had the galvanized door and tub caps, the panels and frame were the most solid of the models, made shortly after the Series 3 end of production. Whilst the motor isn't the most powerful, it does the job and I think may well have been rebuilt at some stage, that said she would really benefit from say a 200 tdi conversion, which was part of my original plan.

The vehicle is currently located in Long Beach CA. is not titled as yet, I had simply parked her up when she came in and I had storage on the west coast, so that's where I trucked it to. the original port of entry was NY around June 2013. The vehicle cannot be registered in the state of CA as it wont met emissions. currently just parked there in private storage. You would check the need to check the requirements in your home state to register a foreign imported vehicle that has ben approved entry by the EPA as was manufactured over 25 years ago.

I would encourage inspection of the car. Can be seen any day with prior notice in the Long Beach CA area. Once won, deposit of $250.00 to be sent by pay pal, balance to be settled and vehicle collected within 7 days. I can assist with a shipper. this would all need to  arranged by buyer and at buyers expense.

I do have a full roof cage, powder coated black, no rear ladder, also a set of 4 boost alloys with pretty good all weather tires, these  can be negotiated after sale if or interest.

Sold as seen. no warranty included or implied.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Jaguar Land Rover planning to allow owners to earn cryptocurrency

Mon, Apr 29 2019

Jaguar Land Rover, Britain's largest auto manufacturer, said on Monday it is testing software that will allow drivers of its cars to earn the IOTA cryptocurrency as a reward for sharing data. The company is developing what it calls "smart wallet" technology to be installed in its automobiles. This would reward Jaguar car drivers with IOTA coins for actions such as enabling their vehicles to automatically report useful data, such as traffic congestion or potholes to navigation providers or local authorities. Drivers could also earn rewards if the car participates in a ride-sharing program, Jaguar said. The tokens earned could be used to pay for tolls, parking and charging for electric cars. The overall goal was to "achieve zero emissions, zero accidents, and zero congestion," the company said. Global car companies are exploring blockchain applications, figuring out different ways in which they can leverage the technology to suit their different needs. Blockchain, the system powering cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, is a shared database that is maintained by a network of computers connected to the internet. The British car company is testing the technology at the new Jaguar Land Rover software engineering base in Shannon, Ireland, where engineers have already equipped several vehicles, including the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover Velar, with "smart wallet" features, the company said. It does not yet have a timetable for when it will be commercially available, said Jaguar, a subsidiary of Tata Motors. The IOTA token is based on a distributed ledger technology that enables people and machines to transfer money and data without any transaction fees. IOTA trades on digital asset exchanges and was last at 27 U.S. cents per token. "The smart wallet technology ... can be easily adapted into all new vehicles," Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder and co-chairman of its board, told Reuters on Friday. "IOTA wants to enable interoperability with all these different players. So there is no Jaguar coin, no BMW coin, but one universal token for this machine economy," he added.

Jaguar Land Rover seeks to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, VW SUVs

Fri, Nov 20 2020

You wouldn’t know it was about Jags and Lambos, to judge by its rather dry name: In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems. But thatÂ’s the complaint Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc filed on Thursday to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen sport utility vehicles it says are using its patented Terrain Response technology without permission. Jaguar Land Rover, a British carmaker owned by IndiaÂ’s Tata Motors Ltd., said in its filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission that the technology helps negotiate a “broad range of surfaces” and is a key feature in JaguarÂ’s F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. “JLR seeks to protect itself and its United States operations from companies that have injected infringing products into the U.S. market that incorporate, without any license from JLR, technology developed by JLR and protected by its patent,” JaguarÂ’s lawyer, Matthew Moore, said in the filing. Representatives of Volkswagen didnÂ’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the complaint. Jaguar wants to block imports of PorscheÂ’s Cayenne; LamborghiniÂ’s Urus; AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron vehicles; and VWÂ’s Tiguan vehicles. It said there are plenty of other luxury midsize SUV and compact crossover vehicles to meet consumer demand if the SUVs are banned from the U.S. Still, the premium Porsche and Audi lines provide much of the profit VW is using to fund its investments in technology for electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and further innovations. In addition to the four brands, Volkswagen Group owns other upscale nameplates, including Bentley and Bugatti. The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that investigates complaints of unfair trade practices, like patent infringement. It canÂ’t award damages but does have the power to block products from entering the U.S. Owners of patents and trade secrets like it because it can work faster than the federal district courts -- the typical investigation is completed in 15 to 18 months. But Jaguar also filed patent lawsuits against the companies in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation for the use of the technology. Those cases are likely to be put on hold once the trade commission launches its investigation. The case is In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems, 337-3508, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).
