1986 Land Rover Defender 90


Straight and original 1986 Land Rover 90. Runs and drives great. Imported from the UK earlier this year I have been using it as my daily driver here in New Jersey. This vehicle is RHD. 5 speed manual transmission with permanent 4 wheel drive, it has coil spring suspension. Cruises comfortably at 65mph. Clean New Jersey Title.

Although certainly not being a 'Show Queen' this Land Rover looks exactly as a straight and original 27 Year Old Defender should. The aluminium body shows some surface corrosion, dents and scratches, and over the years it has been repainted in a couple of places. The van body has had a window installed in the LHS, possibly when the vehicle was new. The interior is in good condition and everything works. There are 3 seats across the front and 2 inwards facing bench seats in the rear. The vehicle is standard, as it left the factory having never had any modifications.

The chassis is original and in good condition.

Mechanically this Land Rover is in good condition and has been well maintained. The 2.5 litre, 4 cylinder petrol engine runs smoothly and pulls strongly. The 5 speed manual gearbox shifts smoothly and is quiet. The transfer box is in good condition with both Low Range, High Range and Differential locking working well. The front and rear differentials make no noise. Within the last 3 years the Land Rover has had a new alternator, weber carburetor, radiator and thermostat. 

The suspension and steering is in good condition. The ball joints and bushings appear to have always been replaced when they have worn and currently everything is in good working order. The steering tracks straight and true. Although the steering isn't power assisted it has 'finger tip' lightness once up and running. The Land Rover has Land Rover Discovery wheels fitted, the tyres are in reasonable condition, including the spare mounted on the rear door.

All the electrics work. New LHD headlamps were fitted earlier this year. The battery is strong, always starting first time despite being left regularly for 2 weeks or more in the airport car park. 

Note: UK Vin was not recognised by ebay. Vin number shown is a random Range Rover Classic Vin.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
