Rare Genuine Factory County Station Wagon 7 Seater

Hi and thanks for looking at our listing for this Landrover Defender 90. Unlike many sellers this Landrover is in the USA and comes with all relevant EPA and DOT clearance all ready for the new owner to title. The Landrover is originally from the United Kingdom and it still has 10 months of the UK MOT remaining. For those unfamiliar with the MOT it is a 12 monthly requirement in the UK for all vehicles where they check things such as brakes, lights, steering, chassis, and all round general safety. I have this certificate to hand and will be given to the new keeper which guaranteed you a safe, roadworthy Landrover.

The Vehicle

The Landrover itself is a rare factory County Station Wagon. This means it has the "County" pack which is basically a cloth interior, alloy wheels, alpine windows in the roof and a sunroof etc. Being the Station Wagon means that it has the rare 4 fold down individual seats which would have been factory fitted. You see many Defenders that have had the side windows cut in and bench seats installed and these are inferior compared to these genuine ones as these have all the trim around the windows and roof lining which the others generally do not. The engine is the original 4 cylinder 2.5 diesel which is renowned as being one of the most reliable engines to have in one of these. They will do nearly 35-40 MPG and will achieve speeds up to 80 mph so more than enough for driving on the Freeway.

The Body

The exterior is finished in a white/cream color which is the original color and has not been altered in any way. The paintwork is in good shape and has a good finish to it. The bodies on these Defenders are Aluminium panels and I am pleased to say it is in excellent order for its age. The combination of steel on the inside and aluminium on the outside causes oxidation spots and there a couple of light ones in a couple of places but nothing major at all. But for a 28 year old Landrover, it really is excellent and more importantly, straight and solid. The bulkhead is in superb shape and there are no obvious signs of any repairs etc. The footwells are also in good solid condition.

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 3 front seats are finished in original trim and they are in decent condition with just a couple of minor marks. The 4 rear fold down seats all operate as they ought to and again just have a couple of light marks from 28 years of use. The dashboards and door cards are original, complete and in decent condition. The carpets and roof lining is also nice and clean and its been well cared for by the previous owners down the years.

Mechanicals

The 2.5 litre 4 cylinder diesel engine is one of the best and most relaible engine Land rover ever built. They are made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never let you down. It has been well serviced and cared for and there are some receipts for work done so its ready to go for the next 100k miles. Look after these simple engines and they will give years of trouble free economical motoring. The Landrover has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both the gearbox and transfer box work excellent. There are no nasty noises rattles whatsoever. The gear selection is all nice and smooth both up and down the box. The Defender is permanent four wheel drive . The high/low gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. There is a small gearknob near the main gear stick to select the low range gears.

The Chassis

The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the previous owner. The Chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN is SALLDVBC7AA251853

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?

Mon, Aug 14 2017

From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.

Average new-vehicle transaction price hits a whopping new peak in December

Wed, Jan 11 2023

Elevated prices for products and higher borrowing rates led to record high transaction prices for new vehicles in December, with the average cost in the U.S. rising to a record $49,507, according to data from Kelley Blue Book released today. The report notes that ATPs — average transaction prices — have climbed above suggested retail prices — MSRPs — for more than a year. Sales volumes were up in December on a year-over-year basis by more than 5%, a situation Kelley attributed to improved supply. Overall sales for 2022, however, were off 8% year over year. “The transaction data from December clearly indicates overall prices showed no signs of coming down as we headed into year-end,” said Rebecca Rydzewski, research manager of economic and industry insights for Cox Automotive. “Luxury prices fell slightly in December, but non-luxury transaction prices were up. Truck sales were particularly strong last month, and with many trucks selling for more than $60,000, a new record was all but inevitable.” Industry analysts claim the most obvious headwinds in the new car market are generated by higher interest rates, forced by the Federal Reserve's rate hikes intended to tame inflation, and by generally limited inventory. A recent report from J.D. Power showed that the average monthly payment for a new vehicle loan in December was $718, up $47 from a year ago. But 16% of consumers in December took out loans with monthly payments of over $1,000. Consumers think vehicles, and electric vehicles especially, are way too expensive. Fortunately, manufacturersÂ’ incentives, all but extinct in the past two years, are returning, especially in the electric-vehicle and luxury market, the Kelley data suggest. Plus, "With the new tax credits on the way, electric vehicle ATPs will drop lower for qualifying vehicles,” Rydzewski said. Non-luxury brands, such as Honda and Kia, showed particularly strong performance in December, with the average price paid at $45,578 — a record high and an increase of $994 month over month. Meanwhile, the average luxury buyer paid $66,660 for a new vehicle last month. Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover showed the most price strength in the luxury market, transacting between 2.6% to 6.5% over sticker price. But luxury brands Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, and Volvo showed the least price strength with some discounting in effect, selling 1% or more below MSRP in December, according to the survey.
