Stuttgart, Germany. A dozen years ago at least. I saw my first Land Rover Defender. Fell in love with a car for the first time. And I just had to have one. Two years later, a newly-commissioned lieutenant in the Marines, I bought a 1974 Land Rover III Series. I only owned it a year before selling it and buying a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90. It was the beginning of a romance with Rovers.


Freetown, Sierra Leone. A decade later. I was attached to the British Army and was given a Land Rover Defender 110 to drive for the year I was there.


I found myself back in Germany after that. Bought a 1991 Land Rover Defender 90, which I still own.


Through the years, these rugged trucks have seen me through sand and mud, snow and rock. And they never quit. The name is synonymous with off-roading. The Land Rover has conquered every continent--mostly off the beaten track. I knew I would always own one--and I thought the Defender 90 was the last one.


And then, along came Surus.


Named after Hannibal's mythical one-tusked white Asian elephant, Surus is a 1984 Land Rover One Ten. My wife discovered it online, a low-miles vintage truck that looked poised to take overland. Originally purchased by a rescue swimmer club, Surus ended up in the hands of a wonderful old couple in Lincolnshire, England. They used it on weekends to ferry their grandchildren around the countryside.


We brought it over last year and registered it here in the US. Though the steering is on the right-hand side, it has been easy cruising around the American highways and bi-ways. With a 5-speed transmission, it easily handles sustained speeds of 70-75 miles per hour. On average, we get about 15 miles per gallon (with about 18 on the highway).


We added a forward-facing rear seat for our children. But we left the last row of inward-facing bench seats as well--so the truck seats nine in total.


It's a wonderful old classic. But, we are moving our family overseas and can't afford to take Surus with us. I'm sure we'll own another 110 someday. And I'm sure Surus will find a good home--maybe yours.

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

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.
