ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 is an exceptional frame-off restoration just imported from the U.K. The truck has been very nicely updated with all new interior, new grille, new wheels and new suspension -- but it retains its original 2.5 liter turbo diesel making it legal in all 50 states. It underwent a nut-and-bolt restoration less than a year ago; a portfolio of the work, including photos, is available upon request. This D90 is on a clear Georgia title and comes with a certified copy of its U.K. factory record and all U.S. CBP, DOT and EPA import approval documents. VIN is SALLDVAB7EA351721.

These aluminum-bodied Defenders are notorious for being wavy and having poor gaps, but this example is among the best from the era we have seen. Paint quality is excellent, and the truck has a great updated look thanks to the new-style grille, headlights and wheels. All seals, weatherstripping and rubber are new. The front skidplate and side rocksliders were added during the restoration. The underside is rock solid -- the frame was sandblasted to bare metal and undersealed with waxoyl. There is no known rust evident anywhere on the truck.

The interior features new Britpart seats and center console, a new headliner, sun visors and dash pad, new seat belts and new molded rubber floor coverings. The steering wheel and dash face are in excellent original condition. A new AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input and USB is fitted in the dash. There are so many new components inside that this D90 looks, feels and smells brand new. All gauges, switches and indicators are working properly.

Under the hood is the original 2.5 liter turbo diesel mated to a five-speed manual transmission. It starts and runs very well and both the clutch and gearbox feel great. With power steering and power disc brakes, it's quite civilized to drive on city streets -- and utterly unstoppable off road. It will also cruise comfortably at highway speeds. This D90 has all new shocks and springs with a 40 mm lift (that equates to a very subtle 1.5 inches over stock). Tires are brand new (with matching spare). Mileage, at just under 83,000 miles, is believed to be correct. We have service records dating back to 1996.

The overall effect is a no-excuses, very impressive Defender with incredible attention to detail and build quality.Restoration photos and British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certified copy of a factory record available here.If you can find a nicer one for the money, buy it. Rear jump seats and speakers available at reasonable cost. We welcome you or your inspector. Domestic and international shipping available.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.

Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
