We have had this truck for almost 10 years and the wife decided she wanted me to build her something different so we are going to let the green beast have a new home. Truck was imported through a registered importer by the previous owner. This is a factory 1997 LHD Defender with 300tdi engine. Ebay doesn't recognize the VIN: SALLDHM68VA109087 After buying the truck the following items were done: -new doors -rebuilt axles -conversion to rebuilt automatic transmission and transfer case---with proper interior console -all new bushing, OME spring and Bilstein shocks. -full width intercooler added, larger turbo, head rebuilt, aluminum radiator -second fuel tank added under passenger seat -carpet removed and linex applied to all areas that were carpeted -Color change --full repaint to Willow Green -new door seals and window seals -second a/c system added under passenger seats -rear Webasto diesel heater -new rear cross member and fuel tank -waxoil applied to frame and inside of doors -MUD Defender Counsel for mounting the radio in the dash---ipod capable radio -pyrometer and boost gauges -ARB front bumper---no winch -folding side steps -led park and turn signals -stainless mounting hardware for doors and roll cage -tinted windows
Truck originally had about 80,000 miles on it, after the partial restoration and change to the automatic transmission the speedometer was replaced with a new unit and shows the mileage since the restoration which is roughly 59,000 miles. Other features the truck has are: -rear wiper and defrost -load adjustable head lights -sun roof -a/c front and rear -seating and seat belts for 9 people -Snorkel -full roll cage
This truck will not win any speed races, but will take you places that few vehicles can. I would drive this vehicle anywhere…again not in any hurry, but she has never let us down. The transmission was just serviced and new lines were put to the transmission cooler as one was seeping. New air filter was installed. Currently getting between 20mpg to 24mpg depending on how hard you press the little pedal and will run on biodiesel. Paint is not perfect with a few rock chips and dings here and there, but still has a great shine. Interior dash has a few small cracks but no major imperfection. Has a free and clear title in my name which states it is a 1997 Defender. Truck is being sold AS IS. If you are in California you need to do your own research as to whether this truck can be registered there. This truck will be missed, but it also gives me an excuse to start another project when she is gone….so happy bidding.

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
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.
