A very much sought after Defender with one of the very best Land Rover engines produced.

I genuinely do not know where to begin with this Defender..... You are looking at by far the very best 1997 left hand drive 110 defender available for sale in the world today!! This defender is entirely authentic in every way and absolutely stunning. The paintwork is original and so are the decals. Please study the pictures, there are very small blemishes in the paint however I would not re-paint this Defender as this removes it authenticity. By blemishes, I mean very very small, me being extremely harsh comparing this Defender to my own 2014 model. This Defender has a contrasting white roof which in my opinion is very iconic and extremely desirable. There is also a roof rack as you can see included within the sale. 

This Defender has spent many many years in a gorgeous beautiful warm climate and the chassis is superb, has never been welded, has no corrosion and is in impeccable condition. Again please study the pictures to see first hand just how beautiful the chassis is. Again, I could and would love to talk all day with regards to the condition however pictures really do speak for themselves.  

The Engine is in fine working order and has been fully serviced, there are no leaks, damage, nasty noises and so on! This Defender engine is not declared 'ran in' in terms of its mileage. I have included a picture of the engine from the very first day I returned to the UK in her just for you to see prior to the service and clean up just how great a condition this defender was in. 

Interior wise this Defender is equipped with 9 seats all trimmed in exceptional original genuine cloth! The seats have no damage, rips or tears and again please study the pictures... I do not need to say any more. Other than, you have original factory ice cold AC, gorgeous grey carpets, as new door cards and mouldings, just as you would expect form any vehicle with such low mileage that has genuinely been loved and cared for. 

I have priced this Defender very sensibly and am not looking for greedy figures often tried for by others. This Defender is priced to sell, shall not be around for long therefore get your offers in quick before an enthusiast or collector snap her up. Please, no silly offers. I am not wasting your time by offering you for sale this stunning Defender so in turn please do not waste mine. 

I have here in hand the UK V5 (title) service history, receipts, invoices and and a full UK MOT (yearly inspection certificate of road worthiness).

Shipping is included within the price to your chosen port of entry however importation duties and tax are not. These shall be payable by yourself upon entry and your importation Agent can advise and handle all of this for you, if you have not got an agent, do not panic, let me know and I shall happily send you details of the agents in Canada previous customers have used and also pass on details of our shipping parties. Should you also wish to speak with customers who have purchased and imported Defenders from myself then please ask. 

With regards to my 0 feedback, I am new to advertising on eBay and obviously being UK based I have had to set up a new account. Please do not let this put you off and again, take note of the above statement.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
