This is an all original (except paint) 1986 Land Rover 127, Latterly known as a Defender 130. Originally a UK authorities vehicle, it was decommissioned at a young age and stored for many years. Imported to New Zealand in the late 90's it was then stored again until 2007 when it was; re-commissioned, painted and used by the Bungy Jump Company. I bought it recently from them with 98,000 original miles. I replaced the tyres and fitted a custom made canvas rear canopy. 

The truck has no rust other than a little surface in the front foot well as pictured. It has a 3.5 V8 and 5 speed transmission that has been very well maintained. Starts, stops, runs and drives excellently. Paint is good but not perfect and the color was changed from light blue to light grey (not a major but can be seen on the interior floor. The original build sheet is still attached to the seat box as is its official documentation (when new) from the British Department of Transport, so no issues with proving this trucks age or originality.
I sent a Land Rover 110 to Seattle last year and the new owners are very pleased with it. If you need a reference I can introduce you.
The price of US$25,500 includes; Container shipping to Long Beach CA, Port/Import fees/taxes and most importantly Customs clearance. Ready for you to collect and register in a state of your choice.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
