Land Rover Nas Defender 90 St Convertible 4x4 on 2040-cars
Salem, Virginia, United States
|
Up for auction is my NAS Defender 90, #1574. I had hoped to keep this car forever, however we have found a house that we'd like to buy and naturally my play toy gets sacrificed (per wife's orders). This Rover had been in an accident back in 2006 and sat in a garage for 6 years when I bought it. The front passenger fender was damaged along with the air conditioning condenser and freon lines. All these items were replaced with new ones. There is no body filler (Bondo) on the car. I then had the entire Rover repainted, only after I removed just about everything off of it (doors, door latches, hinges, full roll cage, all signals and lights, grill, bonnet, tire carrier, tailgate, door rubber seals, etc) so that there would be no overspray (again I hoped to keep it forever and wanted it done right). I re-assembled as much as I could with stainless steel bolts (door hinges, bonnet hinges, front grill, headlight surrounds, body to rear crossmember, etc). Then the Rover was wet sanded, compounded, and polished for a nice smooth finish. I replaced all signals with new ones (originals were somewhat cloudy), replace all four wheel spats (originals had become dull). The Rover looks great, and more importantly it runs and drives great. It drives well at highway speeds and doesn't shimmy, or pull to one side, etc. The engine is nice and powerful and doesn't smoke, burn oil, etc. the automatic transmission is nice and smooth and shifts as it should. The soft top is in good shape with only one small 1/2" tear at the top of the rear window (could easily be patched if desired, it doesn't let in water so I didn't worry about it). The interior is in good shape with no tears on any of the seats, no cracks in the dashboard, etc. It has a nice set of Goodyear tires with I'd guess 90% tread left (matching spare tire that has never been on the ground). The heat and air-conditioning both work well. I installed a Sony cd stereo, however I will include the original Land Rover cassette stereo with the sale. There is essentially no rust on the frame, bulkhead or rear crossmember. The drivers door has a very small amount on the bottom door frame, the passenger side door has none. The battery box has no rust as well. The original jack, wheel lug wrench, and tools are still there and have never been used. I am embarrassed to say that this Rover has never been off-roading, but I guess that's a good thing. The Defender only has 50,360 original miles on it. When I bought it, like almost all '97 Defenders, the digital odometer would scramble back and forth between jumble and the correct millage. I sent the entire speedometer off to Hollywood Clock and Speedometer Shop, they verified the millage and repaired the digital screen (I have the paperwork documenting this). Please look at the Carfax report to validate this in the "state inspection field". Unfortunately when I bought the Rover the business that sold it to me could not read the odometer and they checked "not actual" millage and the Virginia DMV would not make the correction. Feel free to email or call me with questions, my number is 540-598-8331, and I will walk around it with you on the phone and describe every detail. I welcome and encourage anyone interested to come see/drive it in person before bidding, if you're long distant, I will happily pick you up at the Roanoke Airport. This truly is an awesome Defender, these things are amazingly capable of going just about anywhere, just point and go. I hope to be as forthright and honest in my representing it as possible. ***IMPORTANT: the Warn winch is not included in the auction**** This is a used car and therefore is sold AS-IS. Buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping, however I am happy to drop it off at any local shipping depot. $1000.00 deposit through Paypal at auction end, the balance at pickup. The Defender is also for sale locally, therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land 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 Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The 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.
