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

Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7
Fri, Mar 22 2019Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.
10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019
Tue, Dec 24 2019It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references. Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
