This is an extremely rare and unique Land Rover Defender 110. An absolutely beautiful design, restoration and rebuild of the most iconic 4x4 in history, this 1995 Defender has been designed to replicate the current models sold in other areas of the world today, plus a number of custom upgrades all completed by Defender specialists in the UK before being shipped to Canada.

This is a one of a kind version of the world’s toughest 4x4 combined with the creature comforts of a city driver, all wrapped with a look and feel that turns heads and gets continuous attention, thumbs up, wide eyes, and drueling. Many enthusiasts have said this is the most beautiful Defender they have ever seen.

Exterior upgrades include Land Rover’s Bonatti Grey Metallic paint with Black Roof, black diamond plate trims and 17” black alloy wheels wrapped in 285/70/17 BFG All-Terrain tires for a perfect stance and great performance. Other exterior upgrades include:

- New puma style hood
- Aftermarket KBX grille and headlight surrounds
- LED clear lens kit front and rear
- Black tube side steps
- All new rear windows and seals
- New front windshield and seal
- All new door seals and bushings
- Stainless Steel bolt kit throughout
- Tinted windows in rear

The interior was completely stripped for paint and rebuilt with all new parts, including:

- New black half Leather high back front seats
- New center console
- New black half Leather rear bench style seat
- New center dash option to house stereo and controls (consistent with newer models)
- New black carpet kit throughout
- Soundproofing kit
- All interior paneling and dash painted black
- Leather wrapped door cards with white stitching, shifter boot and dash trim to match stitching of leather seats
- New Sony CD/MP3/USB stereo with 4 speakers
- Black rubber floor mats for all weather
- New white headliner and additional accessory lights in cargo area

Mechanically the truck runs on a 300tdi 4-cylinder diesel motor that is known to be one of Land Rover’s most durable engines. The original motor has 260,000 kms on it before the full spec below. A thorough mechanical inspection was completed and all worn mechanical parts were replaced, including:

- New disc brake rotors and pads front and rear
- New shocks and springs front and rear
- Exhaust manifold gasket
- Full engine service including gaskets, filters, seals, spill pipes
- Timing belt and tensioners
- Many bushings and bearings throughout
- Exhaust center and aft sections
- Steering dampers
- Much more…

These motors have been consistently known to go 300,000 miles (approx. 500,000 kms) before needing a rebuild so she’ll be a reliable pusher for years to come.

If you’re after one of North America’s most rare and sought after vehicles this Defender 110 is right up your alley! She is unlike anything you’ll see driving the streets and is one very special vehicle in absolutely beautiful condition.

I am willing to help coordinate shipping at the buyers expense across Canada. This vehicle is not admissible to the United States as it does not meet the age requirement (25 years old) to import.

Jaguar Land Rover undergoes $3.2 billion turnaround plan as sales slump

Thu, Nov 1 2018

MUMBAI — India's Tata Motors on Wednesday announced a turnaround plan for its luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover, which has been hit hard by trade tensions between China and the U.S., low demand for diesel cars in Europe and worries over Brexit. Under "Project Charge," Tata Motors said it plans to cut costs and improve cash flows at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) by 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) over 18 months. JLR also plans to launch several new vehicles, including the Jaguar I-Pace and the new Range Rover Defender over the next few years and will offer a hybrid or full-electric version of all its models by 2020. "Together with our ongoing product offensive and calibrated investment plans, these efforts will lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth," JLR CEO Ralf Speth said after Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss. JLR has trimmed its pre-tax profit expectations for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and expects to break even, Speth said, versus an earlier target of profit growth. As part of the turnaround plan, JLR will first focus on cash-saving "quick wins" like reducing non-product investments and speeding up asset sales, Tata Motors said in an investor presentation. In the near term it will improve efficiency in areas including purchasing and material cost, manufacturing, logistics and people, and will focus on strategic and non-core asset sales. JLR has already reduced the number of production days at its UK plants in Castle Bromwich and Solihull. The company said in its presentation it has saved 300 million pounds since it initiated the turnaround plan six weeks ago and is working on 500 ideas for the future. Tata Motors reported a loss of 10.49 billion rupees ($141.9 million) for the July-September quarter, compared with a profit of 24.83 billion rupees in the year-ago period. That was worse than the estimate of a loss of 2.40 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data. JLR reported a loss of 101 million pounds during the quarter and its margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell 130 basis points to 9.9 percent. Retail sales of its Jaguar sedans and Land Rover sport utility vehicles (SUVs) fell 13.2 percent to about 130,000 units, hurt particularly by tariff changes in China and escalating trade tensions. Demand in China remained muted even after the country cut import tariffs for cars and car parts to 15 percent for most vehicles from 25 percent from July.

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
