Today we have a lovely right-hand drive 1991 Land Rover Defender 90.

Imported from the U.K. and registered in Vermont, this one is now located in New York state and has a 2.5-liter diesel and five-speed manual transmission.

I don't see a mileage in the ad -- but I do see the ask of $16,500.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Time was I was moving to southern Africa, and I would have killed to have a shot to buy this.

Tim...excellent pick. Guarantee that if it hasn't been scooped up yet, it will soon. Pure safari vehicle right here. Not sure how easy parts would be to get shipped over (given what an Australian friend has to go through each time he has to order a special part form Germany for his rare Benz, it verges on a time consuming, customs headache nightmare), but this would be worth it.

  This vehicle as a non-essential toy would be fun to own. Even tinkering and wrenching would be fun.

ToolGuy So OEM ICE powertrain engineers are finally ready to work more than 15 minutes a week? Good. Here are some ideas:a) eliminate the head gasketb) talk to the truck guys about how to build a transmissionc) go ceramic if you mustd) make the engine modular/easily swappable and sell me two or three of them when I buy the vehicle (Subaru, you can throw in one extra one for free, it might be needed)• Honda (not included in this conference because they were sleeping, and dreaming, harnessing the power of dreams) has a straightforward strategy: Just stay asleep for the next 12 years and see how things go.• Toyota is getting super drowsy and sees the Honda playbook as increasingly appealing. I.e., Nap time!• Subaru is stuck and they know it.• When Mazda lapses into talk of rotary engines, there is no plan.
