1987 Land Rover Defender 90. This is the “County” spec imported from the UK and fitted with the 2.5L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and 5-speed manual transmission. Vehicle is right-hand drive.

Vehicle has covered only 68000 miles and comes with lots of documentation from the past 10 years to support this mileage. Vehicle is in very original condition with minimal modifications (only original unmodified vehicles can be legally imported into the US.) The minimal modifications include front bull-bar, grill, side-steps, upgraded Exmoor front seats.

Vehicle is mechanically sound and starts, runs, drives and stops with no issues. There are no leaks or funny noises. Frame is in good condition and has never been welded. It would benefit from a clean and rustproofing to preserve it for years to come.

The bodywork is clean and tidy with a few minor dings commensurate with age. There is some slight oxidation of the aluminum under the paint in a few places but the paint still looks good with all the original decals still in place. There is some corrosion along the bottom edge of the rear door, a small patch on the seam just below the driver-side rear side window, and the top corner of the bulkhead. All of these corrosion issues are shown in the pictures and would benefit from an easy repair.

This would make an ideal vehicle for modification or refurbishment into something special or just leave alone and enjoy it’s original beauty!

Vehicle is currently not Titled in the USA but I have all the Customs Import documentation plus Certificate of Export from the UK, ready for Title application in your state. I also have the original Owners Handbook and a lot of service history going back over 10 years.

Let me know if you have any questions.

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.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
