Please read the description thoroughly before reaching for
the phone or placing a bid!
Welcome to the Auction of this Stunning Land Rover 90. The
truck is a genuine Factory Built V8 Station Wagon, but underwent a complete
rebuild and transformation back in 2005. It was built and supplied by none
other than Liveridge 4x4. The current keeper has owned and enjoyed the vehicle
ever since.
The truck was first registered on the 15th of January 1988,
and was originally on an "E Reg" plate. The registration plate which
you see it on today was purchased to suit the vehicle and it will remain on the
truck. For those of you wishing to know the relevance of the plate it does of
course say "A1 90 V8"! A nice touch!
Out on the road this Land Rover goes and drives beautifully.
The power delivery as you can imagine is effortless, and it sounds glorious!
Don't just take my word for it either, have a little peek!:

The exhaust system only has one small silencer in it
ensuring a beautiful free flowing growl! That said though once cruising at
speed it is not overly noisy and is then far more civilised.
The engine is absolutely on the button, and fires willingly
first time every time. It has had a little fettling, mainly in the form of an
Edelbrock Manifold and Carburettor. This set up as I understand is meant to
gain roughly around 10 HP and run far more efficiently than the original set
up.
The gearbox and transfer box are all rifle bolt precise and
really do contribute to the perfect Defender driving experience!
Next then on to the exterior of the vehicle. It is
Beautiful! During its transformation the colour was changed from its original
drab Grey, to this stunning and up to date Oslo Blue. This is one of Land
Rovers nicest and classiest colours available and it really does look the
business. The paint job was not just a blowing over with a different colour
either! The vehicle was completely prepped and painted inside and out and you
would never even guess that it had ever been any thing else. It's glorious!
The wheels on the truck are again quite simply the perfect
combination. Out of the box Immaculate Freestyles, shod in 235/85/16 Adventuro
All Terrains all round. The tyres are still as New, and the spare has never
been on.
The interior is simply Gorgeous and completely over the top!
Dark Grey Exmoor Trim Modular Leather seats in the front, and matching correct
seating in the rear. The front seats are Heated, and benefit from 2 heat
settings. The rears all have separate and correct seat belts.
Other goodies inside include a vast array of additional Stainless
handles, knobs and vent trims. There is also the fitment of a quality CD player
with IPod control, and speakers front and rear.
All of the carpet and head-linings were re trimmed at the
time of the build and it really does feel like you are sat in a brand new
vehicle! It is very special indeed and incredibly comfortable.
Next on to this trucks absolute party piece. The Chassis.
Yes you guessed it its Galvanised so is never going to rust! There is no point
in describing its condition as it is obviously like brand new! Why Land Rover
never fitted these as standard is beyond me!
The front bumper and rear cross member have been freshly
painted black and then lacquered. This has obviously been done just for
aesthetic reasons but it really does look smart.
At the rear there is also a Genuine Land Rover adjustable
tow pack.
The build sheet for this truck back in 2005 is quite simply
eye watering! We are talking over £13,000! That said though the quality of it
all really was worth it. Everything is still in beautiful condition, and is
quite literally like the work was done less than a year ago.
The truck has covered 153,200 miles, and this is backed up
by numerous past MOT's and expenditure. It is MOT'd till the 26th of August
this year, and is 100% HPI Clear.
Been a Genuine V8 Station Wagon it is of course not affected
by the London Emission Zone rulings so is all good to head into The Big Smoke!
The V5 even states the Body Type as "Estate".
Genuine V8 Station Wagons really are few and far between,
let alone ones in this sort of condition. The last one I sold less than a month
ago resulted in no less than 10 people phoning me after the Auction telling me
that they wished they had won the auction and that they would still want the
truck if the buyer let me down. He did not of course and was absolutely
delighted with it. If this is what you are after then don't leave it till its
too late!!! I doubt that I will be able to find another this time!!!
Delivery can be arranged within reason at your expense, but

seems harsh but I am trying to run a business here not a circus!
