1986 Landrover 90 Defender - Hard Top Turbo Diesel Engine on 2040-cars
Argyle, Texas, United States
|
This is a 1986 vehicle but is listed as a 1980 because Ebay will not recognize the VIN#. The condition of this Defender is good for the year, it is mostly original but has aftermarket rims. It does have two small dings, which if you are thinking of repainting it could be easily beaten out, otherwise I would not touch them. I would add new wheels from a Discovery, you can find them on Craigslist easily enough, I saw rims only for $75 or rims and tires for $300.
I am from the UK where these vehicles are used for every utility and the military, and I have driven these vehicles all my life. This one is a civilian type and is a strong example, the motor is a powerful 300 Turbo Diesel starts first crank no engine smoke on start up or while running, pulls really well. There is no drift in the steering either. The door hinges are all solid, I have tried to capture most of the usual rust points in the pictures. The drivers door has some rust on the bottom trailing edge, which can be repaired or easily replaced if you are repainting it. The cab is straight, its been a working truck so it could be a little cleaner, but there are no stains or odors, seats are not ripped. In the back there are bench seats and Land Rover installed rubber mats, there is a dog guard which I would keep but can be easily taken out. Remember these trucks can be easily reconfigured to be soft tops, and they can go anywhere you want to go, beach, mountains anywhere. This is not a business for me, I just love the vehicles, and I have sold two or three recently here on ebay. The vehicle is at our home in North Dallas, I can help by arranging shipment if needed (at buyers cost), I can pick you up in DFW and get you on your way if you prefer to drive it home. I am pretty confident it would be OK to drive, but you should be the judge of that, there are no leaks or apparent mechanical problems but it is an older vehicle. I had a friend in the UK drive it from Nottingham to Southampton in heavy traffic and there were no problems. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable bidding, I will do my best to answer all as honestly as I can Thanks |

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
