Land Rover 110 V8 Stationwagen Lhd on 2040-cars

Year:1980 Mileage:200000
Location:

Rockford, Michigan, United States

Rockford, Michigan, United States

 
First, this car is a 1985. Ebay doesn't recognize the VIN because it is a European import.

This Defender is LHD en located in Michigan. It has been imported this year and passed customs without a problem. The local sheriff did the VIN check and on-road equipment inspections. Applied for the title this week, all the paperwork is good and accepted, but  it will take a few weeks before I will have the actual title in hand.


About the car:

- completely original, body, paint, engine and transmission

- 4 speed transmission. In the pictures you will see the lever for a overdrive but this is not installed.

- No rust on frame. Some professional welding done on site members.

- Bulkhead no rust

- Foot wells repaired on driver site, surface rust on passengers site.

- Door frames all good, but some surface rust on some doors. Some aluminum corrosion on one rear door.

- Interior nice, small rip in driver seat. Car is 9 seater but one of the rear banches, site facing has a non matching trim. Headliner nice, missing some trim parts at the mounting points of the seat belts

- power steering

- Roof rack with ladder

- two spares

- Tires 80-90% but spares are less (appr 40%)

- small dents in passenger door and on wings

- rust hole on C-pillar, driver site


This is a really nice car which drives great. Engine always starts, brakes working good. Previous owner had the gearbox overhauled last year. Also in Europe these original cars with LHD are very difficult to find.

I don't know much of the history, only that it spend most of its life in Germany.

As I don't have the title yet (applied for it) I don't need a full payment yet either. When you win this auction I expect a $ 1,000 down payment withing 24 h. When I have the title in we can work out the remaining balance and delivery of the truck.

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
