1997 Land Rover Defender This is one of the cleanest and best Defenders around, when I bought it, the previous owner had installed a new 4.6 liter motor from Land Rover and it is much faster than stock 4.0's. I have driven others and it really makes a difference, with the new 4.6 liter motor it really moves, not sluggish like most D90's. The 4.6 ltr is a direct replacement - It was a brand new motor ordered from Land Rover - Cost was about 10k for the new motor. The top half of the motor still has appearance of a 4.0 but the bottom half of motor is brand new - This is a fairly common upgrade. I have owned it for the last 4 years and this car has been very well cared for and any issues fixed immediately by the best Land Rover shops around. There is no rust at all on this defender its been owned by guys that have lots of money and has been well taken care of- Car was owned by Robert Erwin - He is the guy that created Medal of Honor and Rock Band Video Games. The frame and body is absolutley flawless, I have been told by several Defender people that rust is an issue with these cars, but the ones kept in dry climates are fine, which must explain the lack of any rust on this one. This Rover is a blast to drive and really turns a lot of heads. I have a lot of vintage cars, but I get more thumbs up when I drive this around than the old cars, and it really has a sense of prestige, at least here in Los Angeles, the valets always leave it parked up front with the ferrarris and lamborginis, which always makes me laugh. -Auto -Tow Package installed -A/C Works great and blows cold -Heater / Defroster works great and blows hot -White hardtop with Grey interior -2 front seats / 4 back seats - 6 person capacity 130K miles - But it has a new 4.6 liter motor 10K installed at 107K by the Rover Shop in Houston w/ warranty and receipt -120K full service done -Alpine HD Radio w. dual Ipod hookups - 7 speaker system w/ subwoofer (5k custom stereo) -New brake booster installed for better braking -New fuel pump -New wiring harness and ecu -Grill guard and light guards installed w/ diamond plate protectors -Land Rover side steps

Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.

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.
