1997 - Land Rover Defender on 2040-cars
Chesapeake, Virginia, United States
1997 Land Rover Defender with 4.6L motor with 23k miles This is one of the cleanest and best Defenders around, the previous owner had installed a new 4.6 liter motor from Land Rover and it is much faster than stock 4.0's. I have driven others and it really makes a difference, with the new 4.6 liter motor it really moves, not sluggish like most D90's. The 4.6 ltr is a direct replacement - It was a brand new motor ordered from Land Rover - Cost was about 10k for the new motor. The top half of the motor still has appearance of a 4.0 but the bottom half of motor is brand new - This is a fairly common upgrade. There is no rust at all on this defender its been owned by guys that have lots of money and has been well taken care of- Car was owned by Robert Erwin - He is the guy that created Medal of Honor and Rock Band Video Games. The frame and body is absolutely flawless. This Rover is a blast to drive and really turns a lot of heads. -Auto -Tow Package installed -A/C Works great and blows cold -Heater / Defroster works great and blows hot -White hardtop with Grey interior -2 front seats / 4 back seats - 6 person capacity 130K miles - But it has a new 4.6 liter motor 10K installed at 107K by the Rover Shop in Houston w/ warranty and receipt -120K full service done -Alpine HD Radio w. dual Ipod hookups - 7 speaker system w/ subwoofer (5k custom stereo) -New brake booster installed for better braking -New fuel pump -New wiring harness and ecu -Grill guard and light guards installed w/ diamond plate protectors -Land Rover side steps

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care 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."
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
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.
