Aledo, Texas, United States

Up for auction is a very nice 1986 RARE ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE Diesel Land Drover Defender 90.  This particular expedition ready example is in very nice condition without any of the rust problems commonly found on the Land Rover Defenders. The bulkhead, floors and frame are all in excellent condition. The economical 2.5 N/A Diesel engine starts great and with the 5spd manual transmission, drives very nicely. The clutch has just been replaced within the last 1000 miles by the local Land Rover shop in Fort Worth Texas. The interior has been up fitted with the excellent Exmoor trimmed seats, head liner and rear overhead storage. In the back area, custom fitted removable aluminum lockable storage bins have been added to securely store any valuable items you may have with you.

On the exterior, no expense was spared in preparing this vehicle for expedition readiness.  Quality stainless steel Land Armour roof rack, ladder and front bumper have been added. Security cages have been fitted around the rear windows, a high quality Mantec rear tire carrier is mounted which also holds a high lift jack.  Solid steel rocker protectors are found on both sides as well as a snorkel for high water crossings or dusty dessert air..  Lightweight aluminum wheels have been fitted with excellent BFG all terrain tires that have approximately 90% tread remaining.  Included in the sale is a brand new, never installed canvas soft top and all necessary hardware to mount it.                                                                                               


This little Land Rover is an absolute pleasure to drive. The suspension is solid yet supple and everything works as it should. Being an old land rover, it does drip a minor amount of oil from time to time. It is over 25 years old and may have some minor imperfections and is thus being sold as is. I encourage any who are seriously interested to come and have a look in person.

Note - There is excellent air circulation via the vents and windows, however it does not have air conditioning.  The vehicle steers easily, however it does not have power steering.

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.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."

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.
