1983 Land Rover Defender 110 Lhd on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
Ebay doesn't recognize the proper VIN so I used an newer model VIN. Actual VIN: SALLDHMV2AA189352 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.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While 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.
