Defender 110 Tithonus X-military Heavy Duty Virginia Beach on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
This vehicle is in excellent original military condition, and served with the British Army. VIN: SALLDHAC7BA290012 IT IS AN IDEAL HEAVY DUTY UTILITY VEHICLE. It can be configured for the Beach, taking a cooler and surf boards or for Hunting - it has the original rifle racks fitted between the front seats. We are enjoying this vehicle daily at the moment, going to the beach with it, and driving it around Virginia Beach. Everywhere we go people call out to us what a good looking truck it is, and take pictures. It is a unique utility vehicle that is so useable and fun - cooler in the back, surf boards on top, filled full of kids. You suddenly become a cool dad to 13 year old kids again… We are moving away with work so we have to sell :( Email/message me if you want to talk about it. A full
hard top comes with the vehicle, with a full size rear door, and internal roll
cage. The hard top can be taken off and all the doors can be reduced to half
doors. The vehicle also comes with the original military updated trim on the
interior. Conversion to LHD is also possible here in the USA. This British Army Land Rover Defender 110 (1987) was fully
refurbished under the ‘Tithonus’ project. Each Tithonus Land Rover was individually selected and fully
refurbished by the MoD in 2007-2008 as part of the British Army LEP (life
extension program). The project was to
extend the overall service life of the Land-Rovers by 10 years or more. A fully integrated Wolf Roll Cage including front external
and rear internal hoop system provides protection. Front and rear disc
brakes were fitted, with the wheels replaced with heavy duty 16 inch Wolf
rims carrying 7.50R16 Michelin XZL tyres. Updated Exmoor ‘Outlast’ fabric front
seats with headrest and rear side facing folding seats with lap belts provide
seating for six. Front and rear, rubber sound proofing matting was also added. The vehicle is in Virginia Beach with full clear
Virginia title and all customs paperwork appropriately stamped during it's
import process. The Defender has a VA state inspection, is exempt EPA emissions
testing, and as it is older than 25 years old, exempt from DOT regulations as
an antique.
The truck is totally stock military spec and drives
very well. All seals and the drive train have been inspected, and timing belt
changed. It has Land Rover power assisted steering fitted. You can power a compressor from the power points in front or the rear - ideal for beach driving in the Outer Banks. The side locker holds a tow rope to pull Jeeps out of the sand… |

Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
