The AlpinaLand Rover Defender 11019882,5 Turbo Diesel engine67.000 Miles · Lots of new parts· Low mileage· Finished in beautiful Alpine White· Engine partly rebuilt· Outstanding condition of chassis· Seats 9 people Our mission is to sell beautiful mechanically sound and US legal vehicles, with 100% success!For more info about us and the way we work, please click on the about me button.About me Introduction: The AlpinaThe VehicleAs 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 aluminium. 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 PARTSEngine MaintenanceTiming belt, water pump and cooling systemEngine oil changedNew timing belt, tensioner and cover gasketGearbox oil changedNew water pump and gasketTransfer box oil changedCoolant changedOil filter changedNew belts: water pump, alternator, power steeringAir intake filter changedNew thermostatValves adjusted New valve handle rubbersWheel bearingsNew cover gasketAll wheel bearings checkedNew oil sump gasketNew wheel bearing rear-leftNew oil filter gasketNew gaskets BrakesSwivelAll brakepipes checked and rust treatedNew swivel ball left sideNew brake pads frontNew swivel hub bearingNew brake shoes rearNew CV jointNew drums rear Brake fluid changedWindscreen New windscreen front New windscreen rubberDrivetrain oilsBumperGearbox oil changedNew front bumperTransfer box oil changed Oil changed front and rear axleA-frame jointChanged grease/ oil swivel housingNew jointFront and rear prop shaft filled with greaseRubbers A-frame new The EngineThe 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 TransmissionShe 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 BodyThe 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 ChassisThe 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:SALLDHMB7EA329668SALManufacturer code: Land RoverLDModel: Defender (for early models: Ninety, or One Ten)HWheel base: 110 inchMBody type: 4 door StationwagonBEngine type: 2.5 litre turbo diesel (model 19J)7Steering and transmission: Right-hand drive (RHD), 5-speed manualEModel year: 1988AAssembly location: Solihull, UK329668Serial number The InteriorThe 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 tiresThe 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.ServiceIt 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 deliveryThe 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.

I have now used the truck for 6 months with trouble-free service. I have had a few repairs done by two separate LRD specialists (one near each of my houses) both of whom have heavily praised the truck's condition given its age. I have purchased two vehicles off of EBay - and I'm sure you guys know that it can be risky. Thanks for being so diligent in finding this clean original specimen! The experience has been "just what I wanted".Best regards,j.d.(To verify, check my EBay feedback of August 16th 2013) Land Rover Defender 110s, especially classic years like 1987, are rare finds. To find one so well prepared and to work with a guy like Daniel van Oort who helped every step of the way and went way beyond our expectations even past delivery is AMAZING. I had such a great experience with Daniel. He kept me always informed of the process as our beautiful “Ms Red” made it through customs in Baltimore. He coordinated everything perfectly. As with all classic vehicles > 25 years old, there can always be subtle issues at first. There were a few, like a small dent in the bumper which occurred somewhere in shipping to the US. Daniel wasted no time negotiating these minor problems. He just dropped a new bumper in the post at his cost and several other spare parts or small items after that. Daniel knew I was a new LR owner and had much to learn. He never hesitated to send me advice and support. He quickly returned every email, was available from 1/2 way around the world when I was going through the tag & title process in Texas to make sure I had all the documentation. I would completely recommend Daniel and his organization for future purchases and, in fact, I have been circulating his name among Land Rover clubs and social media that I participate in. He’s a top notch seller and there’s nothing I would change about our experience. My family and I have already created lots of great memories in our Land Rover Defender 110 and the candy-apple red color is a head turner!! We always get lots of compliments from other Land Rover classic owners who really know their stuff. They are also impressed with my experiences, the value and services I received from Daniel. Thanks Daniel. Many more memories to come and my wife now wants a Land Rover Defender of her own….so will be in touch soon. Scott Frost
