This is one of our latest customer feedbacks:

 Hi guys...

I wanted to write you a brief note to compliment you on the quality of the LRD110 I purchased from you off EBay.  I have now used the truck for 6 months with trouble-free service.  I have had a few repairs done by two separate LRD specialists (one near each of my houses) both of whom have heavily praised the truck's condition given its age.  I have purchased two vehicles off of EBay - and I'm sure you guys know that it can be risky.  Thanks for being so diligent in finding this clean original specimen!  The experience has been "just what I wanted".

Best regards,

j.d.

Introduction: The Alpina

The Vehicle

As you will see in the list below, lots of work has been done and even more money has been spend to get this Land Rover in a very good state and working order. It’s originally from Cambridge, UK, where it has been used by a family as their holiday vehicle. It was dry stored and therefore in a really good condition when we bought her as our new project.

First we started by stripping her down to bare aluminium. Then it got professionally sprayed in Alpine White, like the Defender NAS. When finished, all the parts where put back in place. As we tried to keep it as original as possible, most parts are the original parts but some of them where necessary to replace for new ones. When the body work was finished, our Land Rover mechanic started working on her. Everything got thoroughly checked, repaired or replaced to make sure the Alpina is completely ready for her new life. Underneath you will find a short list/summary.

LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS

The Engine

The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine, is one of the best and most reliable engines land rover ever build. They’re made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never let you down. The turbo gives the extra torque you need. A lot of work has been done to make it ready for the next 100k miles. So no maintenance to be expected in the near future. Please promise us to service Aplina on a regular basis, as she will last a lot longer on fresh oil and regular TLC (tender, love and care).

The Transmission

She has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and next to the gearbox stick.

The Body

The aluminum body and paintwork are in a very good condition. The recent paintjob makes the vehicle look like new. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. Also on some spots the combination of steel on the inside and thin aluminum on the outside causes some small marks. But for a 26 year old vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly looked after.  

The Defender has a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to go through deep water.

The Chassis

The complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the previous owner. Worth mentioning is that the steering guard bar has a small dent, which hasn't effect on the function. 

The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. The VIN is:

SALLDHMB7EA329668

The Interior

The inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are a in very good and original condition. The radio is old and is ready to be thrown out of the window. It’s your decision to plug in a new radio to your needs. The whole infrastructure is there. 

The tires

The Defender has got 4 good all terrain tires and a brand new spare. It’s to be advised that if you are going to use the truck only on normal roads, to put normal road tires on it. If going to be used primarily on dirt roads or off road, put off-roaders under it.

Service

It has just got a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power steering system is in excellent condition.

Customs, title and delivery

The vehicle passed all DOT and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a lot of Defenders for sale on ebay, this Defender is already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary paperwork will be included.

Where needed, we can assist with the titling as we have got the experience.
