First, the car is 1988 NOT 1980, I had to do this because VIN number didn't go through on Ebay.

This Land Rover 110 is all original and imported last April. It passed Customs without any problem and now has a clear Michigan title.

This Land Rover spent most of its life in Saudi Arabia hence there is no rust on the car. Bulkhead, A- , B- and C- pillar and foot wells are all original and not rusty. Also the undersides of the doors are in perfect condition The frame has never been welded.

It has an original factory installed, working air conditioner.

The mileage is 84.454 km's (approx. 50.000 miles). I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the odometer but given the condition of the car, I can imagine it would be correct.

Mechanical

factory installed air conditioner, refilled and repaired in Nov 2011 for around $ 1,300
carburaters overhauled earlier this year by a Land Rover specialist
new plugs, coil, cables etc. in January of this year
I have an invoice stating the gearbox and clutch cylinders have been overhauled in 2008
engine runs very nice, always starts on the first try
power steering works well, loosing a drop of oil though
second gear sometimes is difficult to engage
5 speed transmission
horn isn't working (most likely I will fix that one of these days)
BRAND new Michelin tires and rims (5x)

Body

No rust !!!
original paint !!
nice paint but a little faded on the wheel wells
dent in the left quarter panel
occasional small dents throughout the body. Nothing serious but if you expect a car in perfect, A1 condition this is not the car for you
I have a roofrack with it. This is homemade and I didn't like it so took it off. The buyer can have it if he wants
Where the roofrack was attached to the roof there are some paint scratches and also where it attached to the hinges of the windsheeld there is corrosion on the hinges.

Interior

generally in good condition
new seat covers on front seat and rear bench seat
right now there is only one side rear bench installed, the second one comes with it
carpet looks nice but is homemade.
drivers seat has tear in the cover
radio and speakers are installed but not working

Frame

never welded
body coated as shown in most pictures
I have pictures from before the body coat, so you can see there is no rust.

Extras:

as said, the buyer can have the roofrack (and ladder) if he wants but don't expect a fancy one.
ABS air compressor installed in the back of the car. (and working)
airbags for rear springs (not currently installed)
radio and 4 speakers installed but not working
cubybox slightly damaged
Stainless steel fuel tank
spare wheel carrier

If you are looking for a nice, reliable 110, this could be the one for you.

You are more than welcome to inspect and drive it. I live 30 minutes away form Grand Rapids, MI (GRR) airport and can pick you up from there.

I maintain the right to end this auction early as I have also listed it elsewhere.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care 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 builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
