This Land Rover Import is a standard European model Defender VIN SALLDHAC7BA249375 NOT an NAS.
This European spec, 2.5 na Diesel is NOT a gas guzzler V8, rather a fuel economic reliable fuel injection diesel. 

From the previous seller:  This is a well kept and well maintained Defender. Its an ex military so it was mechanically kept in great running order. It has no rust, has a clean rust free frame with normal wear. It shows no signs of salt road wear and likely never had any as it was in military use. We have meticulously gone through this vehicle from top to bottom and updated or replaced any necessary item. It was stripped down re primed and painted in a matte evergreen metallic. The paint job is good, from 1-10 it's an 8. We give it an 8 because we want to relay its not show quality but it is nice work. This vehicle had no galvanic corrosion and no rust on the bulk head. So the paint work was straight forward. The -2 points out of ten would be for; the military uses an excessive amount of NATO green paint, which requires a LOT! of sanding or stripping. We feel that around the vent hinges and rear bed tie downs, that the prep could have been more detailed. Aside from that it looks good.

I bought this truck a few weeks ago with the intent of dropping in a 200TDI, full cage and rear seats. I have got to many things going on right now to complete this project.
Heres what we've got:
1985 Ex Mod 110 with 2.5na diesel with 48,467 original miles registered and titled in NC.
New Paint(Evergreen. Cool color)
New Power Steering Box, Pump and hoses
New Rubber door seals
New Rubber vent seals
New Rubber windscreen seal
New Exmoor Black Canvas Top
New Heating System
New Shocks Front and Rear (2inch spacers on front)
New BFG 265s with freestyle rims with aluminum wheel spacers.
New Tuffy Console (not bolted in)
New full insulated matt system from Safari HP
New Plastic molded door cards (not installed)
New Paddock swing away spare tire carrier(not installed)
Truck is in great shape. No rust that I can find. Interior and bed have polycote bed liner applied.

Jaguar Land Rover cutting production in face of falling demand

Sat, Feb 8 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover will reduce or stop production on certain days at two of its British factories over the next few weeks as Britain's biggest carmaker pursues cost-cutting measures in response to falling demand. JLR posted a 2.3% drop in retail sales in the three months to the end of December and has targeted billions of pounds worth of savings to tackle falling diesel demand in Europe and a tough sales environment in China. The firm will halt production on selected days over a four-week period from late February at its Castle Bromwich factory in central England and stop production on some half or full days at its nearby Solihull facility until the end of March. "The external environment remains challenging for our industry and the company is taking decisive actions to achieve the necessary operational efficiencies to safeguard long-term success," the company said in a statement. "We have confirmed that Solihull and Castle Bromwich will make some minor changes to their production schedules to reflect fluctuating demand globally, whilst still meeting customer needs." The move is not connected to coronavirus, a spokeswoman said, which prompted Fiat Chrysler to warn on Thursday that a European plant could shut down within two to four weeks if Chinese parts suppliers cannot get back to work.

Jaguar Land Rover proposes seats that scientifically massage your butt, for your health

Thu, Jan 16 2020

Habitually sitting too long can degrade a person's health. Scientific research has proven that dormancy can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, deep-vein thrombosis, and metabolic syndrome, according to the Harvard Medical School. Although sitting can be avoided in many cases, such as using a standing desk at work, taking a seat is the only option when hopping in the car for a drive. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is hoping to address this negative aspect of cars with a new high-tech seat that the company says mimics the act of walking.  JLR calls the concept a shape-shifting, or morphable, seat system, and it is currently in a trial period with Jaguar Land Rover’s Body Interiors Research division. Using actuators built into the seat's foam, the seat will constantly be in motion with micro-adjustments that can be tuned to the needs of different people and body types. JLR believes it has created a system that recreates what is known as pelvic oscillation, a motion that can supposedly trick the brain into thinking the body is walking. In addition to helping to prevent internal health issues, JLR also notes that a sedentary lifestyle can degrade and shorten muscles in the legs, hips, and rear. If these muscles are worked on a regular basis, the chance and risk of injury and back issues could potentially be reduced. The new seats are just one of many car interior technologies JLR has explored. In the past, we've seen tech that tracks brainwaves and heart rates, creates augmented reality, helps prevent motion sickness, and helps stop the spread of germs. They've also taken the time to have an expert demonstrate the perfect seating position. Most of this stuff is experimental for now, but it's possible similar features could eventually trickle down to production cars, in time. See how the seat moves in the video below.
