For Sale:
My (much loved) Land Rover Ninety (eBay doesn't distinguishe between Ninety/90/Defender, so apologies for any confusion), looking for a new home in the States.
This is officially a 'TRUCK, UTILITY, LIGHT GS, CARGO, SOFT TOP, 12V, 4X4 LHD LAND ROVER 90 DSL' (nsn 2320998938030) that was previously (military) registered as 56 KG 26 (VIN SALLDVAC8AA311665). Records requested from the UK Defence Logistics Organisation (Chilwell) show the vehicle spent the periods Aug 1988 to Aug 1990 in MT Storage with the Royal Air Force Germany, then on to RAF Decimomannu (Cyprus) until disposal in Oct 1996 - I bought her from MOD Disposal Agents, Witham (Specialist Vehicles) Ltd on 26th July 2000 and have owned her since.
I have a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificated factory record copy (cert # 2013/29871) listing the build date as 22 - 31 December 1987, making the old girl over 25 years young and therefore exempt from the Federal Regulations restriciting imports on older vehicles due to the safety and emissions laws... Plus, being LHD she is ready made for the wrong side of the road...
The listing states 100,867 miles - this is the nearest approximation to the 162334KM that is actually on the odometer - and is believed to be genuine (Cyprus is a small island!!) as there was 27597 miles/44419KM on the clock when I bought her.
The Condition is comensurate with age - the paint has faded, the interior is a little scruffy (seats still original!) and there is some surface rust on the Chassis. She is mechanically sound and drives well (albeit noisy and bumpy - well, it is a Land Rover...) and the usual oil leaks (again, it is a Land Rover...!). The vehicle was used daily from August 2000 to March 2008 when we bought a 'proper' family car and the Landie was garaged, and returned to the road in Sept 2011 for daily use again.
On return to service she had a full service, new fuel tank, new brake hoses, front callipers resealed, rear brake pistons replaced and Brake and Clutch fluid flushed. Since I bought her, I have kept a Vehicle Log of every service event (including engine oil top-up's and annual emmisions test results) and every defect occured/rectified since Sept 2000 (first service entry - 10/09/00 full chassis/bulkhead waxoyl!). I also have every receipt/invoice spent on parts, etc.
I have added the following over the years:
Reverse lights (Geniuine parts gearbox swith and Loom, Mil-spec side lamps for the light units)
Black Mohair Soft-top (with side windows), hood frame painted gloss black.
Roof (spot), bumper (fog) and Rear (work) lights - all on custom made brackets and wired through guarded switches on the seat box side.
Silver 8-Spoke Steel wheels with BFG Radial All-Terrain's (265/75R16).
Custom fabricated (aluminium) side-opening tailgate.
Jackable sills/rocksliders.
Wright Off-Road Acoustic Mat system (moulded soundproofing) fitted to cab floor and seatbox.
E-Eng. Transmission brake Disc conversion.
Cabin bulkhead removed and replaced with custom fabricated (aluminium) bulkhead.
(also, not pictured, a folding forward-facing rear seat)
Sadly for sale now as the family is growing (and I'd like a Discovery 3...!)
Any questions or additional information required - please ask! Happy bidding!!
Please note - this vehicle currently lives in the UK! The successful bidder will need to arrange collection, shipping and import to the US - I can arrange delivery to Southampton Docks (if fuel expenses are covered). Funds to be cleared to UK account before arrangements are made.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It'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.
