Ebay doesn't recognize the proper VIN so I used an newer model VIN.

Actual VIN:  SALLDHMV2AA189352


Up for consideration is a 1983 Land Rover Defender 110 LHD  with a 3.5 liter V8 and an LT 85 transmission and transfer case unit.
This truck I imported from the Netherlands and has a clear NC title.  The plan was to turn it into a full soft top and make it a beach runner but as happens with plans  sometime, they changed.  I have now gotten ahold of another project that will suck my pockets dry but I am excited to get started on that so unfortunately I can't keep both and so this one is up for sale.  

When I bought it the Defender shop in Netherlands (yes, it did come from a full on Defender shop and not some shady guy buying and selling junk) the truck was used by the same guy since 2007 and then resold back to the same defender shop that I bought it from who serviced it for him through those years.  The car is in an unrestored original condition. It is in very good condition for an unrestored car. The car has little to no rust, the rust that is present is only superficial. The engine was reconditioned a year ago, and it runs great! Very smooth and good on power. Gearbox, brakes, suspension, and power steering all work as they should.The paintwork is isn't the best and depending on what your plan would be could use a paint job.  There are some small dings here and there and the right front door has a bigger dent (pic and video show this).  All cosmetics can be sorted fairly easily and considering the lack of rust this truck is very solid and has HUGE potential.  Bulkhead is gorgeous.  Chassis is in great shape and needs no attention.  Rear crossmember is also in great shape and needs no attention.  Undercarriage has strictly surface rust and can be dialed in with minimal effort.  
Starts on the first turn of the key every time.  The only door bottoms that have some rust are the rear two passenger door bottoms.  One of them isn't too bad and the other could use some work.  The rest of the doors are totally solid and have zero rust.  
Tires are in very good shape and have plenty of life.  Sunroof seals and doesn't leak.  Floor boards are in great shape as well and also need no attention.
Overall this truck can be either of two things:  A great daily driver with some work in progress to enjoy upon purchase or this would make an incredible build project.  Speaking of build project, if you have any interest in purchasing and building this into something special that you would like or dreamed of then mention that in your message to me and we can discuss that option as well.  
I also have 4 videos posted on youtube of the defender.  Ebay won't let me post these links here so you will have to message me for the links.

I can't think of anything else at the moment.  Keep in mind this truck is 31 years old.  It is a Land Rover!!  If you are reading this advertisement then you should know and be well versed on what I'm trying to say here.  This is a very solid Defender and I am happy to answer any question you may have.


Good Luck!

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
