Sisters, Oregon, United States

We have had this truck for almost 10 years and the wife decided she wanted me to build her something different so we are going to let the green beast have a new home.  Truck was imported through a registered importer by the previous owner.  This is a factory 1997 LHD Defender with 300tdi engine. Ebay doesn't recognize the VIN: SALLDHM68VA109087 After buying the truck the following items were done:

-new doors

-rebuilt axles

-conversion to rebuilt automatic transmission and transfer case---with proper interior console

-all new bushing, OME spring and Bilstein shocks. 

-full width intercooler added, larger turbo, head rebuilt, aluminum radiator

-second fuel tank added under passenger seat

-carpet removed and linex applied to all areas that were carpeted

-Color change --full repaint to Willow Green

-new door seals and window seals

-second a/c system added under passenger seats

-rear Webasto diesel heater

-new rear cross member and fuel tank

-waxoil applied to frame and inside of doors

-MUD Defender Counsel for mounting the radio in the dash---ipod capable radio

-pyrometer and boost gauges

-ARB front bumper---no winch

-folding side steps

-led park and turn signals

-stainless mounting hardware for doors and roll cage

-tinted windows

 

 

Truck originally had about 80,000 miles on it, after the partial restoration and change to the automatic transmission the speedometer was replaced with a new unit and shows the mileage since the restoration which is roughly  59,000 miles.  Other features the truck has are:

-rear wiper and defrost

-load adjustable head lights

-sun roof

-a/c front and rear

-seating and seat belts for 9 people

-Snorkel

-full roll cage

 

This truck will not win any speed races, but will take you places that few vehicles can.  I would drive this vehicle anywhere…again not in any hurry, but she has never let us down.  The transmission was just serviced and new lines were put to the transmission cooler as one was seeping.  New air filter was installed.  Currently getting between 20mpg to 24mpg depending on how hard you press the little pedal and will run on biodiesel.  Paint is not perfect with a few rock chips and dings here and there, but still has a great shine.  Interior dash has a few small cracks but no major imperfection.  Has a free and clear title in my name which states it is a 1997 Defender.  Truck is being sold AS IS.  If you are in California you need to do your own research as to whether this truck can be registered there.  This truck will be missed, but it also gives me an excuse to start another project when she is gone….so happy bidding.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
