1985 Land Rover Defender 90 - Rhd, Diesel, Fully Imported, Present, Usa Titled on 2040-cars
Rockville, Minnesota, United States
|
Up for sale is a beautifully original unmolested 1985 Land Rover Defender 90 recently imported from the UK. It has cleared customs, is titled in Minnesota, and resides comfortably indoors in my heated shop.
It is the original factory 200 tdi diesel with a 5-speed manual. Starts well, runs as it should, and drives comfortably (albeit slowly!) down the road without a lot of drama, squeaks, or rattles. Easy to drive with power steering and brakes. This vehicle is ready to be driven and enjoyed, and has clearly been well taken care of throughout its life. Have some records which seem to support something close to odometer reading at 124,xxx - though it is more, as it doesn't seem to work since it has been imported. Interior is in very, very nice condition. Third rear jump seat is included with purchase and is in excellent shape as well. Exterior is in nice original unrestored condition. Very, very nice for a 1985. There is a little bit of corrosion in small spots, I have tried to show in the pictures as best I can. Tub is in nice shape. Body mounts appear good, suspension mounts seem solid, and floor seems to be solid as well. Unlike a lot of importers, we did not spray undercoating all over the underbody and frame to hide anything. Offered for sale by a licensed dealer in Rockville, MN (Virtucon, LLC) that specializes in vintage trucks. We are more than happy to assist with shipping in any way we can. Happy to answer any questions and to show the vehicle if you are nearby. Overall, this is a very nice, rare, original defender that is titled in the US and ready to enjoy. It is not a perfect, restored vehicle, but is in good shape for an original survivor. These things are getting tougher and tougher to import, and are being destroyed or rejected by customs more and more often. Even if you are able to locate and import one on your own, the costs of importing are usually well over $4,000 between taxes, shipping, and the like. We do require a deposit of $500 by PayPal. There is a $195 documentation fee attached to all sales, which is waived if you agree to a very small rockville4wd window sticker on the vehicle. Good luck and happy bidding! |

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
