1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon, Coniston Green on 2040-cars
Breckenridge, Colorado, United States

For sale by owner: 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon, Coniston Green. It's a very clean and very sweet vehicle. If this is what you are looking for then you know what it is and how rare they are, especially the wagon. There were 1,000 D90 Wagons imported in 1997 and a third of them were the Coniston Green.This thing is a machine that's built like a tank and moves like a mountain goat, there is nowhere it can't go. I purchased this when it had just under 76K miles and have the title in hand. I put the several upgrades that the D90 requires to be truly badass and still maintain the stock integrity of a collector's item. See list the $12K worth of upgrades below:
- Old Man EMU full suspension, springs and shocks. - True-trac limited slip front differential. - Detroit locker rear differential. - Great basin rovers 4.11 ring and pinion, front and rear. (Not a race car but a vast improvement over the very slow stock gearing) - Great Basin Rovers Heavy duty rear axles. - Mantec Snorkel and K&N air filter. - Mantec heavy duty rear tire carrier. (took the weight of spare off of the rear door) - Expeditionware roof rack double jerry can holder with 2 red Jerry cans and siphon. (Must have as LR put a 15.6 gallon tank on the D90) - Safari Gard Front winch bumper and lower skid plate. - Superwinch EP 9.0 Planetary winch with roller fairlead, snatch block included. (Dual batteries installed under driver seat for winch power) - East Coast Rover rear LED light kit, looks identical to stock, never have to change a bulb again, (Big defender problem solved!). - Exmoor trim rear side bench seats, (still have the 4 individual seats and will be re-installing them before sale). - Exmoor trim tan canvas seat covers, front. (Bomber canvas, indestructible) - New Goodyear MT/R Mud terrains tires, about 6K miles on them, matching spare. - Hella headlights with H4 bulbs. (Can be replaced with a 100W high beam bulb) - Hella Black Magic off-road light on front bumper. - Kenwood stereo/CD, XM capable, Infinity speakers. It has a new Mobile 1 synthetic oil change last week and diffs were done 3K ago. Brakes were done in the last 5K. I have all receipts and maintenance records during my ownership and the previous owner. I treated her great and she took care of me. In the pics you can see at each door corner the typical rust/oxidation D90s obtain, not integrity issues of the door, outlast you. Feel free to ask any specific Q's you may have…. |

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
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.
Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
