The ALPINA Land Rover Defender 110 1988 2,5 Turbo Diesel engine 68.000 Miles · Lots of new parts 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 aluminum. 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. US vin decoders won't recognize this vin
because it's a European vin. 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, EPA
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. If preferred, for transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Contact me for more details and quotes. Deposit

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
