1988 Diesel Defender Is Great Condition. Drives Like A Much Newer Vehicle on 2040-cars
Collingwood, Ontario, Canada
|
Imported from Italy just last year so she spent her whole life in a dry and salt-free climate. Clean ownership Please note that this is a 1988 Land Rover...entering the correct age was not possible on the eBay site. Chassis is excellent. Krown rust proofed pre-winter. Body is excellent..with the odd little 'ding'. Paint is not new but is a very fitting look to a truck such as this. 2.5 litre turbo diesel is in excellent shape. Engine was replaced several years ago and was re-furbished several months ago with new timing belt, new interjectors, new lift pump, new injector pump, valves re-done, etc, etc. Mud centre console added to accommodate stereo, gauges and switches. (waterproof marine stereo connected to iPod...full iPod functionality is on the stereo itself...brilliant unit and easy to navigate while on the road) All new this year. New speakers. Added a new VDO turbo gauge and VDO voltmeter Several extra extra switches for any future add-ons. New antenna for radio Heavy duty steering guard added this year. Driving lights added this year. New rear ball joint and fulcrum. New heavy duty shocks and steering damper New pitman arm New rod ends Fresh brake job New parking brake shoes New Goodyear Duratrac tires....very beefy..can tackle anything. Replaced any questionable wiring New cubby box between the seats. New seat belts. New Snorkel/raised air intake Heavy duty dog/cargo guard between driving compartment and cargo area. Removable if desired. New heavy duty/sound dampening front mats...the good ones. New shifter knobs. New hinges on driver door. well..the list goes on. All of the work was done by a talented and experienced Land Rover mechanic NOT simply by a Land Rover enthusiast. The windscreen has a small crack in the upper right corner but I have a new windscreen that I will include. Happy to include a new paint job in the colour of your choice for an added $2000. This Land Rover 90 is in fabulous condition as any test drive will show. I put the work into it so that it would be a reliable daily driver for decades to come. The only reason for selling is that I have decided to get a bigger one...to accommodate the family. Look around at all of the other 90s on the market and then come and look at this one. This is not a project and it is priced well below what other trucks in this condition are being listed for. You are welcome to chat with my mechanic if you would like his take on the vehicle. This truck is ready to drive for many years to come. Recent survey available to interested buyers. I apologize for the poor quality photos..shot on my iPhone. Please note the VIN# on the add is incorrect as eBay does not recognize the European VIN that the truck carries. The title however is clean so no problem with transfer of ownership. |

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
